Hi this is first conversion. I have had this tractor for years but I have finally decided to go for it. I used 2 servos for drive and a mini for steering. The battery pack will fit in front of the servos.

Nice! I was thinking, steering? You could use the two drive servos to steer the tractor, and then I watched your video. The speed looks just about right. I'm thinking you're going to need to use some channel mixing to slow down the drive servo that is turning the inside rear tire, when the steering servo is trying to do it's thing.

Had me worried then about the steering but just checked and it turns good with both servos going. I am going to put weight in the front which will make it better

Looks good! ...by the way it´s not easy to hide all the rc-components in such a "small" model... Well done!
