SGS are the best for the gepard. Expensive but taylored for the tank if you want all the bells and whistles

I just use an IBU2 and downloaded the 35mm sound from youtube and slap it on. The front radar, rear radar rotation just off the servo directly connected to the receiver. Gun elevation and turret rotation is the same as the Leo.

Working on a Gepard myself I had picked up without any electronics. I've picked up a Clark for it but had never heard of SGS?

I'll put in a plug for SGS. Great customer service, fast responses to emails, and very accomodating. Wire transfer for payment is slightly tough, but it's cheaper than paypal.

I've got a package on the way of Gepard parts, and should be posting updates when it arrives and I get to work.

Sorry don't visit here much anymore and hence the late response. IBUs are not tank specific as they use an SD card with sound files, so I created sound file for a Leo 1 and the Gepard specific cannon sound for it.

Was told on another forum that the IBU2 supply is drying up due to lack of microchips.
