Horizontal gyros are pretty easy, it's the vertical axis that seems difficult to get right and the video doesn't show that. For £700 I can get a tamiya type 10 with a hobby radio, gyro functions and proper sound. I'll have some of what they're smoking over there!

That is impressive BUT it would have been more so if it was running on a less smooth surface, But the engine note was brilliant.

Hi Would be nice to see what electrics its using ,and if its the full metal lower with the new type gearbox and motors , the one on the video seemed to have plastic tracks.

...according to the advert it's a std plastic leopard...

Excellent sound
Excellent R/C engineering
Excellent looking tank

It would be even better if -

It was shot outdoors in a suitable setting.
The speed of the manouevres was slowed down by 50%

He's showing off the effectiveness of the gyro. It's a shame he doesn't demonstrate the vertical stabilisation. Also a stock plastic hl Leo for that money's insane

[maxmekker]

And that he loaded the propper sounds... Thats a ww2 engine rumbling in the leo


would rather spend my Money on a Challenger ore M1 With the tk60 G2

Max, the Abrams main gun is hand loaded and doesn't automatically raise after each shot for an autoloader to reload it. Makes for faster reloads.
