Drive
.
2×15 A strong (2×30 A peak current), short-circuit and overload protected drivers for one or two drive motors
Use of an overlay gearbox is possible
Physics engine: realistic driving behavior by simulating mass inertia. The vehicle drives "like a big one". Acceleration, deceleration, top speed, gear shifting and many other characteristics are simulated.
All driving parameters are adjustable
Steering
Steering via chains with extensive adjustment options
(Disableable) turning around the vertical axis ("Spin Turn")
With optionally available FX Expander: Steering of up to three individually configurable steering axes via servos with optional speed-dependent steering traverse
Turret functions and weapons
