I've no updates on IBU3 release so that doesn't help. Although I have started to compile sounds sets for the Leo 2 and Challenger 2 for the IBU3.

Yep, IBU 3 looks the biz, but so does the Clark's TK60, decisions decisions, I think I need a lie down for a bit.

Awesome tank by the way.

Well the Chally 2 sound set for the IBU2 already done, just remind me when you order your IBU2 and I'll include it on the SD card.

Yeah the tk60 looks great but I looked at the wiring diagrams for it and its beyond my meagre skill level! I need to see the full spec in the ibu3 really and see if its worth the wait for me, but its a possible option! All I need now is metal tracks, sprockets, idlers and road wheels, I reckon the leopard 2A6 gearboxs will slot straight in so that's a job for when I can ' officially' open her up, reckon the Mato leopard tracks are a pretty close match/ fit too

Got mine as well!

Here is a quick look..... Suspension is soft though.

This is quick check and have to put it on the pile and hide it somewhere quickly so that my order half won't notice!!!Image

Daft as it sounds the IBU2 Challenger 2 sounds have been done over 2 years ago. Now working on the IBU3 as better sound quality have to start it all again from scratch.

Also ordered a set of the DKLM 550 motor/gearboxes to try fit in my Challenger 2 to see how it goes. @)

Sponge, nothing yet but will do the up armoured version. I will look into the details and see. It really needs a tension adjustment and you need to replace the whole assembly of the idler wheel. Carson from DKLM is doing a CAD now as we are exchanging information on this. Hopefully we will have the updated road wheels as well.

As regards to the gearbox from DKLM. I have the one from the full metal Leopard 2 chassis and Carson told me that IBU board might not handle it. Maybe Tankbear can shed a light on this. Scallywag told me the cut out is at around 15A but I have no IBU board to try it on. So Tankbear can you verify once you have your 550 GB from Carson.
