Alpha, 2 brushless motors and new speed controls and lipo battery and you'll have a tank that will run at 30mph! :haha:

Ed, ever hear of the Hennsey Venom? Fastest production car in the world runs on a 7.0 litre twin turboed LS V8 engine making over 1200 hp. I'm betting I'd be able to get my KT off the ground running one of these beasts! :haha:

A few more Tid bits that came with the Abrams....two...not one...two sprung antenna...and for the mentally handicapped like me...control sticks that once placed in the controller...are mistake proof...as the turret control sits a tad higher than the motion control...what is left to guess...is why that thought didn't go to the start ...sound ...smoke ...gun...machine gun buttons 8O ............ :haha: ...also included is a brand spanking new unpainted cousin of Crazy Joe :haha:

And the Freaky Deaky inclusion...normally HL "metal" tanks don't come with spare tracks...this one did...the Freaky Deaky part...the spares are plastic :O .... :haha: ...so basically I got extra track pins :shifty:

Yup as soon as I saw the second lead that goes into the charger :D ....went into shock for awhile...as it was something I would never see in RC tanking....Now I can only wonder ...why didn't they do it sooner :/
Helicopters have been equipped with Lipos for years :crazy:
