Default Tank Performance

Most of the videos I have watched with 1-16th scale tanks shows them rolling around in mud or snow, but nothing really shows what the tanks can do when pushed hard.
Then I found these videos.

I would be interested to see how hard these tanks can be pushed when built up correctly.

It is very tempting. Dont get me wrong. I love the Tigers rolling around and firing the big guns, but I am also invisioning a converted Bulldog with a truck body, running lights, and modded suspension to tear up the beach.

I bought a Kyosho blizzard to run around like that and push the tracked vehicle hard

My only concern with stunts + Bulldog is the front idler mount. I've installed 9.6v Tyco racing stuff into one of my Tigers and boy did it move! Shows the potential is there, but dont expect long chassis life, they just werent build for long-term physical abuse (not use, abuse)
