Hi Michael

I have the pershing and the tiger

the pershing keeps stoping through an electronic fault somewhere , give it a
thump and it starts again
and the Tiger  well the wheels literally fell off that in a couple of days
LOL
but that may just be the extra cheap ones they export to Aus
but for the price they are a great toy to muck about with

try these they may help
