Where to buy 2A6
Being new to tanks where would be considered a good place to purchase one from, not sure if I want to go FO or go for one I can upgrade at my leisure, though I understand even the FO is upgradable,
What is upgradable on the full option? and what would/ could you live with.
Ok just read drive it till it breaks, then upgrade.
Cheers Mark.

Re: Where to buy 2A6
If you are talking about a Tamiya FO tank, Axels Modellbau normally has competitive prices, though his stock levels can be a but variable.

eBay for a used bargain.
New from axels for a new build.
Swing arms are what I would upgrade from new.

Re: Where to buy 2A6
Thanks for that I'll check out the web site, yes the swing arms are they a bit delicate in the leopard.

I havn't changed mine but some have had issues with them snapping. Possibly due to rough driving?

Re: Where to buy 2A6
Anything with "metal" will have a rubbish zinc gearbox. Go full plastic and slowly upgrade. Better utility that way, and you'll have a better understanding on what you want later and how things in the tank work.Mark66 wrote:Being new to tanks where would be considered a good place to purchase one from, not sure if I want to go FO or go for one I can upgrade at my leisure, though I understand even the FO is upgradable,

Re: Where to buy 2A6
The zinc gearboxes are they identified by colour are the black gearboxes any better or are they zinc just painted black, are we looking for a specific make ?
Re: Where to buy 2A6
The tamiya leopard is light years ahead of a Heng Long leopard. No need to upgrade the gearboxes.
I have one and it's a superb runner.
