I have the Tiger. Looks great but does not drive well. The track design is pure crap and I consider it a waste of money.On anything other than a smooth surface the tracks come off.

Thanks

You don't have to take my word for it, but I really think these tanks have very poor running abilities. I was also impressed with the video and therefore decided to buy one. I think I have wasted my...

Lets not confuse terms. A battery can be any number of cells. Therefore there is such a thing as a 2.4 volt battery but it would still consist of 2 cells. Rechargable cells whether they be NiMH or...

That sounds like a glorious waste of time. Firstly, dropping the voltage to the RX is better done with diodes than resistors. Secondly, this would also drop the voltage to the motor unless you do...

Super cell upgrade
