Tank with Treads! (Improved)

A few days ago, I posted my first tank with tracks. This is the final version, featuring steering, a gun turret, desert camo, and an overall more-defined look.
--------------------------------------------
Operation Instructions:
Forwards: Push the VTOL lever all the way up, activate 1 and 2, and throttle to 100%.

Backwards: Pull the VTOL lever all the way down. Simple.

Turning left: De-activate 2 and pull VTOL backwards. Push VTOL all the way up and re-activate 2 when turn is completed.

Turning right: Same as turning left, just with button 1 instead of 2.

If tracks get stuck (they will): Just move the VTOL lever back and forwards a bit. It should solve the problem.

To move the turret: Pitch moves it up and down, roll moves it left and right.
--------------------------------------------
Additional notes:
It is recommended that you play this with low physics.

If the tank explodes immediately when spawning, it is starting inside the ground. To fix this, place a block slightly below it to force it to spawn further up.

Always turn while moving. Never turn from a stop, because it won't work.

Turn the RCN off before using. It's best that way.
--------------------------------------------
General info: This tank is highly impractical, as it cannot get above 10 mph, turns slowly, guzzles fuel at an alarming rate, even with the (supposedly) infinite fuel with which it comes equipped. However, this is one of the only tanks with tracks out there, and as far as I can tell, it is the only one that has practical, unmodded tracks.

    @Oicraftian Although there are a lot of parts meant for aethetics here, a lot of it is functional, which, in addition to the fact that it's actually quite difficult to build, means that all I can do is remove the aethetic parts. I should be able to get it to around 200, but I can't make any promises. It should be up in a few days.

    For those of us on mobile, it is unconvienient for you to make such a high part count. Could you make a simpler sub 150 part version?
