The tracks on this particular model are a polypropylene type but it also has aluminum tracks as well.

This model has 3 forward speeds + reverse. In 1st gear, much of the running in the video was in 1st gear, it is very powerful and capable of damaging its surroundings and itself. Another model that suffered a jammed track pin ended up bending a 1/2" output shaft and breaking off several teeth from a hard steel module 1 gear.

The turret and main gun ( elevation) are both powered.

They're toys in name but require care and planning to run. Certainly require maintenance.
