On my Tamyia tiger the track tension screws are at the rear chassis under underneath, just tip the tank to one side and apply a screw driver to the head. Done in seconds. Don't know about the Leopard as i don't own one, but seems strange they would do this for the tiger and not for the Lepard.

You just need to remove two screws from the rear engine deck and two screws from the bottom of the front of the hull. Then disconnect the motor leads and lighting wires, and you can lift off the hull top. Its not that difficult.

Hope this will help anyone else doing this job ,there are also 4 screws in the turret which you will have to power up to get at , a magnetised pozi driver is advised i could imagine one heck of a job trying to get a dropped screw out.
