Looks like it could be very useful if I decide to run this more! I picked this up a few years ago badly built but never run. The original MSCs died so i replaced them with a pair of LRP runners for a bit more control and modified an old transmitter for twin throttle tank style controls. It's proved to be the most unreliable vehicle in my collection but I still love it! Electronic setup, sorry for poor quality this is an old pic! Modified Transmitter, again an old pic

I don't think much would cross over other then the wheels maybe. I do like the fact its got an extra set of bogies. It just looks nicer for some reason. I have always wondered if the HM would have been always pulling wheelies with its rear motors. I know I can't keep mine on the ground running in reverse.
