So, after catching fire last fall I decided to re-wire.. this time I made very sure to have solid solder points & extra heat-shrink around the wires @ the switch.
Maybe a dumb idea but the original switch was actually just fine. No melty or burny.. .hmmm.. so it's working.
Clark board & battery unharmed. Woohoo!

Holy crap does that thing ever motored ! What tracks do you have on ? I can't see the stock metal ones having that much grip. You did mean 2-3 inches deep not 2-3 feet deep at 2:48 right ?

Hehe, maybe soon.. a plow would be awesome infront of my Tiger or KV-2. The T-34 is remarkably light and slippery
