Dropping down in voltage probably not the answer for a zero turn on grass. I tried a couple different voltages (6 ans 12) and found the lesser voltage simply didn't have enough omph to turn the tank. 12v was obviously better. If I could I would bump up to 24 or even 36 volts to get the power required to zero turn, not to mention less amp draw over a 12v system.
Tracks that grab will actually hurt pivot turning. Smoother tracks seem to let the tank pivot easier.

The motors are 24V and not powerful enough. no problem making a 360 on asphalt or concrete. We only reach 2km/hr or 1.3 mph (12 km/hr scale). This tank cruised at 46 km/hr. We are looking into other motors right now (12V with more amps). Also we are concerned about the "accurate" Panther tracks which "grooves" might "grab" on the grass on a 360degree turn. That would not be good for plastic tracks. Suggestions and critics are welcomed!
