steel tracks on concrete [TANKS]

Do steel tracks slip on concrete floor? Yes, on their way down.

That's on my garage's ramp, with the upper steepest, part, sloping about 30 degrees from horizontal plane. The brass pipe on the left hand side tells you the horizontal level. The floor is roughly rendered concrete. The tank stops just before the steepest part, and climbs it starting from zero speed. Too bad you can't hear teh sound of it. Think chainsaw. And that's on spent batteries from yesterday's adventures.

It fishtails on teh way down, partly because I cannot watch both through the camera's screen and drive the vehicle at the same time. That's my excuse. It then goes up the steel ramps and back onto its transporter to spend teh night.

Good night tank.
