Well, you would think that the "Tracks" are the problem and its true they could be better but there is not much you can do about the Track design. You can however change the MAX POWER output to the Tracks or "Tuning" the power output based on personal preferences. The "one power output size fits all" is what we have here which is suitable for general applications like outdoor pavement or hard packed soil and such. Carpet is a problem for these 1/24 HL Tanks as it is for most other Tanks in this and smaller scales in general. It is a universal problem.
Here is another mod that works good but requires the proper batteries and connectors. I will present it here for information purposes.
Shown below is a Variable Voltage 1-6 cell kit that I use to find the optimal voltage to use in a application.
3 cells = 1s Lipo
4-6 cells = 2s Lipo
For best results on ANY 1/24 HL Tank, The battery box needs to be enlarged. I removed the floor of the battery box with a soldering iron plastic cutting tip to allow larger batteries with adapters and such to easily fit the battery area.
