I can get the professional and battery pack or just the upgrade version with the battery pack as well and maybe a few other accessories. My biggest question I suppose is, would it be better to get the professional or the upgrade version? I would like to drive it out in the dirt and grass (nothing heavy like sand or mud) and carpeted floors. I have a budget of $250 and this model fits in that budget along with the extra battery pack as well (Admiral 3500mAh 2S 7.4V Li-ion Battery with XT60 Connector). They are the tank crew that was featured in the documentary I saw as well. I just started reading the book Spearhead about one of the first, if not the first, Pershing tank crews at the end of WW2.

I am considering purchasing this one because I remember seeing a documentary about the tank battle between a Pershing and Panther tank in Cologne. It was fun for a while but kind of went downhill rather quick. I have had one before but it didn't really work out too well, I forget the name but it wasn't a Heng Long tank.
