Neither Halli nor RS but I have a battle-bot, a light weight,  Should
be about 40 lbs with full combat armor and dual batteries.  It's 28 lbs
now with one gelcell, solid rubber wheels from a lawnmower, one sheet
of lexan (it takes 3).   

Futaba RC PCM control, Vantec 30 amp/channel power controller, twin
motors and geartrain out of a kid's ride around car.   Sure would be
lot of fun to play with RC tanks.   

Like a T-Rex taking on pit bulls.
