Some info on the video posted. That was the second time running on grass, the first was using a single battery pack and it struggled under load. This time had wired up 2 in parallel at 12 volts and it was running better, still needs some fresh new batteries and to work out its final voltage, am guessing 18 might be the go.
The transmission seemed to work fine and the tracks worked good but slightly sticky as they need to be broken in. Had a fuse connected and during its run it only blew once during a turn, that was a 30 amp fuse at 12 volts so guess that's ok for where its at, a bit of running will loosing it up a bit and make it run smoother. Some of the springs are too hard so next thing to do is remove the leading springs and reduce their diameter and then test it over obstacles. Apart from that need to make a harness/bracket to hold in the batteries, everything was just sitting in the hull with radio stuff taped to the outside so we where a little careful with it but next time the testing will be a bit more extreme.
