The other option is true independent motor control, each with it's own channel, controlled independently of the other.

If I'm not mistaken, even in mix mode, you can still pirouette a model, just by moving the steering input, with no forward or reverse input. If there is no forward or reverse input, and you add steering, the tracks will go opposite directions, for turn in place pirouettes. As you increase the forward or reverse throttle, the pirouettes become travel in circles.

Nice, I'm looking forward to building this one. It will be the first piece of construction equipment that I build as apposed to buying something already built but not necessarily the way i would do it. maybe I'll hold onto it for more that a week. LOL
