If I were given the choice, I would take smoke from the gun barrel and soot from the exhaust, leaving little spots of soot all over the house, a sure means to marital harmony.

"[F]rom what i understand the petrol driven tanks didn't smoke a lot." My experience is with farm tractors from 1938 and 1939: there is, indeed, plenty of stink, but very little smoke--although the black soot evidences the unburned hydrocarbons of inefficient combustion.

Righto, got it out for a first test drive after receiving a pair of escs.
This is flat out full throttle, the speed looks pretty scale and nice but it is noticeably underpowered when i tried it on my diamond pattern foam mat at home, wont turn on a grippy surface.
The yellow gearboxes have a reduction of 48:1 and from the gearbox out to the drive sprocket axle is another 2:1.
Should i look for some other 130 motors with more torque or go to something else?
Anyways, beyond low torque im happy with how this is turning out.
