I was given a link to this site by Spoon37 after posting this on another forum. 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!

Thanks for the comments, I'd really like to run it more than I do but it seems so unreliable. I need to spend some time stripping and rebuilding the gearbox, there's something not quite right.

they are quite different then the EV, plastic tub, dual motor... 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.
