The Van version was called "HeavyMetal" (tribute to the van gods of the 70's)and is vary rare. Goes for over $400 on E-Bay in good condition. The older ones used two 370 motors(one for each track) w/ twin ESC's and now they use one 540/550 and dual brakes. You can also do a few mods to the brakes and there are rubber covers for the tracks so they get traction on hard surfaces. One thing I've learned from other forums is if you spray Rain-X on the tracks, boggy wheels and body it doesn't get loaded with snow at all. I have been watching these for a while now and by Febuary I'll have one. A cheap brushless from HobbyKing should work nice.
