After seeing the video of my Tiger performing maneuvers, please give advice concerning slower speeds and more horsepower. The snow build up really affected performance. I’m running the steel gears labeled Taigen Premium Series 3 5:1 that comes with the Taigen metal hull.

Great sunset photo... are you looking for more realistic speed and greater torque? Are the tracks metal or plastic?

Thanks, gentlemen! It has metal tracks and wheels. I’m wanting a slower, more realistic speed and better torque but if I can’t have both I would prefer slower speeds. It won’t be driving in snow very often. This was just a photo opportunity that I couldn’t resist.

A higher ratio box for slower speed will give you higher torque by default. Just need to make sure the motors can handle the higher torque. And don't overload the control board on tougher terrain.

Can you adjust the throttle response so 100% stick only gives 50% speed (probably not explained that very well!)?
It’s what I’ve done with my Open Panzer TCB and separate ESC’s for smoother driving.
I also don’t think that the bundled transmitters (Taigen v3 in my case) have a very linear response on the sticks...

I agree with Jimbo the standard electronics won't allow you to dial in the performance like and aftermarket board such as an Open Panzer TCB or IBU2U or Clark. You also have more ability to adjust the throttle with a hobby grade radio much better
