Propulsion and Suspension Details

Power comes from a dual Type 130 motor arrangement set into an assembly-type twin gearbox at the rear of the hull. Operation is handled by the MC-07 control unit, giving smooth speed control and reliable turning. The model uses a Horstmann suspension with metal coil springs to reproduce realistic track movement across uneven surfaces.
