Thanks, I got it a few weeks ago and thats about as long as I can keep any 
secret :-)

I got it for a real bargain - $25 from a radio shack that was going out of 
business.

I'm not sure if the treads are battle legal (?), but its quite fast with the 
wheels.  I haven't managed to break it yet so it seems to be sturdy enough.

Sorry, to hear that.  How are mods to SV007 coming?  Beefing it up?

> Nice job on the tank, it looks like it could pull a car!

Thanks, it needs some work in the torque department.  I skimped on the gear 
down and wound up with a speedier tank (which I'm happy with) at the cost of 
full skid turns on the lawn (which I'm not happy with).

I'm going to order a new set of pulleys that might make the difference. 
Otherwise I might move on to a 18 or 24v system.

Thanks,
Amir
