K'nex Dual-Motor Powered Wheel-Tank

I originally made this tank for off-roading outside. But it quickly proved to not be an off-roader, but instead be an indoor pulling tank (although it doesn't pull as much as my old K'nex Monster Max which can pull a box full of 1 pound ankle weights). I've put it through many tug-of-war matches, and with Monster Max now disassembled, it has claimed the top spot. But Monster Max still has a place: on the top of the tank - The tank's cab is Monster Max's old cab. But enough about MM. Here are some stats:
Power: 6/10
Off-road: 8/10
Traction: 8/10

Congrats! You've now made a K'nex wheel tank. This one in particular was actually modeled after the Ripsaw EV2 tank. Only it has tracks, not wheels. This tank is pretty heavy and doesn't have a lot of surface area on the ground, so if it gets stuck, it can REALLY gets stuck. But, as always, thanks for having a look, and hope to see you on the next one! Bye for now!
