Leopard 1A4 sounds!!

[brizo58]

Hi Guys,
Like to ask if anyone knows what type of Engine was fitted in the leopard 1A4. And if so what tamiya MF/TO units would I need. That's if they make them??. Just got myself a nice Leo from eBay . So any info would be of great help. Brian...

Diesel v10 and don't think tamiya did a sound unit for it.

Kv1 isn't a turbo diesel.

I'm sure there are plenty of others way to do it, hopefully that will help.

Hi Ian,
Yep that great. Have you still got it? looks very nice. I want to keep as much of the original tank as possible. The one I got has been refurbished and has had very little use. So sounds good it comes with a 6 Ch radio too but don't know what make. Will post some pics when it gets here. End of the week I hope. Brian...

Ian just been on your web site . I can feel my wallet moving. If poss could you let me know what I will need to upgrade the Leo. I'v never used any of your stuff before so it's all new to me. I know it's going to cost me. That I don't mind it's a case of HOW much . Brian...

As said, its a 37 ltr turbo charged V10. It's ludicrously loud and the turbo whine is equally vocal. I saw one going round the arena at bovington and it drowned out the weed wacker in the T55 and didn't even notice the Scorpion.
