Although I have only experienced 1 x OT-810 and it may have been
in need of some work, I would like to add one other observation:
they are _very_ noisy inside (sufficiently so that I think ear
protection would be a necessity)! Add to this the fact that your
vision is severely limited; they do not make for a very safe
vehicle to operate without crowd control, unless that is you have
an intercom and commander - tank style.

Doug
