I used the radio kit out of the supersonic RC. I needed the auxilary motor

diff has rotation reversed. It works well, one diff drives the two axels in
the same direction, the other diff offsets the rotation on the same axels to
make it steer.
It moves at about walking pace.
Some parts dont fit the colour scheme which i would correct if i started
building another one. i would also see what i could do to get the rockets to
launch.
