Battle TRACK, a hybrid car and the speed of the tank. His tracks are not worse wheels, the engine is more powerful than the Air Blade, a jet engine works more efficiently. In addition, the tracks can not be afraid oversteer. Mines and rockets attached. Mina this car 3 seconds after setting is divided into 4 mines and then disappear.
