The above is about too little space. What about too much space? I have just had my Leopard 2A6 and almost 80% of the internal space is empty. I've been a fan of water and mudding, so I am thinking that what if I move all electrical equipment and battery into the turret and leave the empty hull with only gearboxes. That would be very nice for mudding. Is it possible?

I have seen that video many times on YouTube but he waterproof the electric and battery. My idea is put everything water sensitive in the turret. As long as you do not submerge your turret, you're safe. I see two solutions; 1. give up the 360 turret, so that you can connect cable from to all the component in the hull. 2. Your slip ring must have big cable so that it can supply enough power to the gearboxes.
