HL Leopard 2A6

Post by HammerWihoutASickle »

I got this Leopard for about $80 a few days ago - the owner wanted to get rid of it because he had no time for it.
So far, it runs decently - and I think the plastic gearbox makes a HUGE difference offroad compared to the T90 I have. It's also much, much lighter due to the lack of any metal parts.
Like I said before, the tank is completely stock - no metal parts whatsoever. The tracks like coming off the sprocket wheels when I drive it offroad, and make a hard or soft turn on resistant terrain.
I intend to use this tank to make as an experiment tank, so I can make upgrades to the T90 I'm currently using. Any parts I buy, or changes I implement will be tried on this one, and once tested - will be put into the T90. Call it training myself if you want.

I'm thinking of tightening the tracks slightly so they don't come off the sprocket wheels when I turn, and see if that helps for now.
Here's the links for pictures:

I use my smartphone it has a nice camera so just snap a photo once you create a thread and attach it. Very simple and this way your photos will show up automatically instead of a link to a photo
Tanks alot.... :wave:
