WSN Tiger 1 from Torro
Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2018 6:19 am
Yesterday I took both Tigers out into the field to ride around with my eldest 12 year old grandson.
I drove my Taigen and the kid fooled around with the WSN Tiger.
It was a bit disappointed to see, how slow the WSN Tiger moved around.
We changed all the AA batteries for new ones, still no effect. It hardly could crawl forward.
My grandson was a bit disappointed too, which I saw on his face.
So I let him drive my Taigen till the battery was empty and he had the time of his life.
I do not know if any of you guys are familiar with these WSN ones, but Torro offers a NIMH battery pack with loader for them.
What I would like to know is, if such an investment does improve the ride-ability of this plastic tank?
The NIMH pack is 9,6V, my Taigen runs on a 7,2V pack. So I would assume it would be plenty of power to move that damn thing around, right?
I must admit, I am new to this hobby and have no clue about the electric ins and outs.
So fellow Tankers, help me out please:
Is it worth buying a 9,6V battery pack to improve the ride-ability?
I would make the kid very happy......and no, I do not have the intention yet, buying him a better model.....
