anon, in the old books, and in all the games, battlemechs aren't slow so much as deliberate and carefully, because falling is a potentially lethal accident in the rules. Moving fast enough on concrete can let you skid turn right into a building and do the same thing. Battlemechs weren't ever humans but metal. The neurohelmet isn't even how they're piloted, it's just there to let the mechwarrior help the mech stay balanced by space tech magic, to keep from toppling over the first time it turned.
