So here are some pics and vids of my Torro IR tiger 1 being abused on a local footpath.
given i live in Devon its going to be on a hill.
total millage for the day was 1.8 miles between 2 batteries to add to the mile on wednesday.
The end goal, the river
Starting out. it was nice and gentle
If you go down to the woods today your getting a surprise!
Sat hull down in a gully
the open fields of Bishops-Kursk
Hull down at the halfway point
Making Tracks in the dirt

I am finding that the tiger isnt as good off road as the heng long T34 as it has a tendency to slide all over as it has plastic tracks at the moment and it is also very bouncy when it reaches an obstacle with a tendency to bounce over it instead of climbing over it.
it is also very top heavy and prone to, in the 4x4 parlance, falling over pissed despite that there is a metal lower hull included.
so i am thinking that adding some small custom lead weights to the lower chassis to lower the centre of gravity and also increase the pressure that it is being applied to the tracks.
the t34 has already clocked over 20 miles and a track retensioning in a few weeks.
Of course. Added weight means more work for the motors, batteries and MFU to do, and if they hold up over a few miles, you've got a good 'un
