I don’t even know why!

Wow, that's a lot quicker than I expected. I think it does need a decal though.

So my opinion is this. It is a novelty item. Looks neat but performance is mediocre. Does not like running on grass, even short grass. The tracks have very small cleats. It jumps but prefers to be straight on. Runs good on asphalt and bark mulch. I will try sand but I'm not holding much hope, like I said, small cleats. I think it will dig a hole and bury itself. Packed dirt would be good but any rocks will clog the multiple wheels and sprockets. It does without a doubt look cool. At $39 I'm not disappointed, if I paid $139...I would be. Neat shelf queen.

I'm still really tempted at that price.

It's definitely cool for the dollars involved. I will definitely keep it and experiment with different surfaces. I wouldn't dissuade anyone from getting one.... or two. I just looks cool all lit up.

You're planning to scale your cats, aren't you?

You just need a scale peterbilt and a scale cowboy trailer.

From the videos I've seen it looks like it would benefit from some weight up front. Surprised there aren't any aftermarket tracks available yet as there's quite a few different models which look to use the same size

It definitely could use nose weight. The suspension is really stiff so it bounces a whole lot. Lack of front weight results in back flips when climbing.

I read something about someone using pen springs as softer options? I also saw a video of a guy running metal tracks but the performance seemed worse. I think glueing on some bigger ridges would work well

I'm going to try a couple things for nose weight. More lights or a winch, tow hooks and cable. Got a few things in mind.
