Good info Greg and great to hear the problem solver is a fellow countryman.
I've been tinkering with the 850 and making good headway till I discovered a missing part.
I also realized that the mechanical quick change for the bucket is an option, not part of the kit... my damage credit will cover that.
Reading Kalle's thread on Scale, he's burning thru a 6000mAh Lipo in about 25-30 minutes, a pretty power hungry model! I want to be able to power up my model with an outside power source, like a car battery, but the "endless" spin only has two paired terminals for the track motors.
So I ran three paired wires out the front of the bridge (idler wheels side).
Plug in this way, the tracks run on two different chs & the power comes from within the model.
Plug in this way, both tracks are the same ch & I connect to outside power source. The paired wires within the model will be disconnected from the esc, then plugged into the main switch. When I want to turn, use the arm to lift the front of tracks & activate the swing.
