I have been exchanging information with Carson at DKLM. He is on the process of doing the CAD for upgrades. He told me that he will do it via CNC. I have given him information of the current Challenger 2 wheels which have 15 lightening holes.This facilitates self cleaning of mud, sand etc. on the real vehicles as well as saving some weights.

Here are the exact image of the wheels. This are taken from a 1/6 Challenger 2. This is just for discussion purpose and credit given to the owner of the pictures.

Just received a phone call. My Challenger has been delivered and is waiting at home for me - will just have to wait until I get home at the weekend.

Other than buying new metal wheels for the Challenger 2, wot are your suggestions to make the tires beefier? It does look too thin.

The new MBTs from HL are about to make me convert from a lifetime of Tamiya only tanks. Really excited to see what upgrades will make their way to the market. Does anybody know if this is a limited release or now mainstream and in continuous production?

I think the first batch is limited to a few hundred so they can iron out any problems. Mine is great and can't see any problems with it so I should think it'll be given a full release soon.

Seen this on RCU - http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/rc-tank ... eking.html

Leo, M1, Chally 2 and now a T-90. Modern MBT's are taking over.
