probably because they are a big tank, and apart from the bulge on the lower from glacier plate (i think ?) they are quite accurate.

cheers,

Chris they have plastic gearbox that needs to be replaced, the motors are very underpowered. Mato has a very good direct replacement for this Beast!

ive heard even the metal gearboxes for the mato KT are... not very good to say the least.

but dont worry! their are new full metal gearboxes being made for it right as we speak!

the seller 'the-rc-dynasty' on Ebay had (and might still, cant check right now as im in college) them listed for $79.00US + shipping ... but thats int he US :(
