Interesting, here's a link on them;

http://www.hobbyengine.com.hk/catalog/product.php?product_id=32&osCsid=2416cea06ef3d797cd1cc870d129b23b

Are you planning to run it as is, or do you have future modifications in mind?

Tracks are rubber... I dont know why Panther F or G was knocking them soo much... its not too bad..

Yes the barrel recoils and it shoots plastic missiles. As well came with an enemy tank DUH DUH DUHHH!!!

The controller is weird. Both axis are each motor (it gets frustrating) And the buttons on the bottom are used for elevation and turret rotation.
