The trick is to gear the motor right!! I admit my tanks do slow down a small
amount when they drive from a smooth surface onto carpet. I've never really
understood why other than friction being the cause. However,the Tiger is
geared so that it will climb most inclinations and also requires a great deal
of weight to stop it in its tracks!!:)(It will drag the other tank behind it
or a heavy battery box!)
