The weight (when lifting) is the only serious downside to the Sherman. The on/off switch is so fast (no press and hold required) that it could be considered a lift switch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hated this wheels weight until i discovered this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume probably not because of its weak nature. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for you guys who care about speed to get a production Sherman and determine if it's really slower. You only have my single lift-test datapoint.

Still seems pretty good? That sounds on par to the V1 for me, but of course I shall reserve judgement, until I can see for myself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
