Challenger 2 steel gearbox?

Post by Cruciblesteel »

Hi I've got the heng long challenger 2 and I've ordered dklm- sprockets , wheels and leopard 2a6 tracks what would be the best gearbox to run this metal gear with , what would fit in the tank and work with the sprockets without too much trouble, cheers for any advice.

DKLM sells a pretty nasty looking gearbox for the Leo and you can check to see if it will fit the Chally too.

Thanks for the replies, I've seen that haya ltd has a steel gearbox for the challenger was thinking about this but unsure of its build quality . Anyone out there use heng long steel gearboxes ? Worth a try? Also Paul your build is looking really good

I asked DKLM about his gearboxes and say will fit the challenger 2 but not with 540/550 motors. 480 motors should fit although need 3.17mm shafts to fit pinion gear.

I'm going to try brushless motors in mine with the DKLM gearboxes and IBU3
