After driving a battery pack out in the Pershing, I think the gears are finally starting the break in properly. The tank is noticeably slower, and slightly pulls to the left -- but nothing I can't live with. I guess the metal gears and sprockets do add a lot of rotating mass to the drive train, making speed suffer. I know everyone on here wants a slower tank, but slower due to heavier rotating weight I think will reduce torque as well. I may have to look in to going with a 7 cell battery -- especially if I go with metal tracks eventually. I'm happy that the tank is fine with the upgrades now, but I'm pretty disappointed with the installation-ease (or lack thereof) of the hop-up parts (of course, we are talking about cheap tanks here to begin with). All of driving so far with the new upgrades has been inside -- I'm anxious to see if it still has enough go-go power to climb like it did before.

that's great Titan !
Give it hell and let us know how she runs!! ... A video would be sweet!

I wish I knew how. For all of my tech knowledge (or lack thereof), I still don't know how to download video from my digital cameras.

what size motors do you have in your pershing?

I now have the factory 380 size "white can" motors from the Tiger metal gearbox set. Before it had the black cans, but it doesn't seem to make much difference.

Titan,

Who did you purchase your Pershing from????

Hobbytron
