Leopard 2A6- 3-1 gearboxes, jp480 motors running from an IBU2 and full metal running gear
Tiger 1- 4-1 gearboxes, standard motors running from a heng long 2.4ghz RX18 and full metal running gear.
Am sure this may be useful to know for someone planning a recovery tank/ bergepanzer, just abit of fun for me and I way try it with one stuck in the mud as opposed to stuck in my kitchen!

Re: will a leopard pull a tiger?! and vice versa
Cheers mate....I haven't had it long but its frustrating ! I luv the 1/16 because I can pick it up. take it outside when I want and so on. With the Abrams.....I cant pick it up as it takes two to lift it....and now I need ramps to drive it into the car (hatch back)....and having to remove two rear seats also.....so its a bit of a mission but I do luv itspongehoobtank82 wrote:Ha ha ha jeman that Abrams' is so frickin cool!

Am lucky, got a Batchelor pad, think I have a tank in every room, that Abrams would take pride of place on the coffee table in my living room or the dining room table!jeman wrote:Cheers mate....I haven't had it long but its frustrating !

That Abrams is big but the detail work on it leaves much to be desired. You would think that on something that big every detail would be finely done.
Re: will a leopard pull a tiger?! and vice versa
well I'm going to add to it, but as you can appreciate everything on these cost ££££££££ second gun on the turret will be purchased this month and so on. I'm in contact with Mark 1 Tanks and will be going down there for a day so really looking forward to thatgreengiant wrote:That Abrams is big but the detail work on it leaves much to be desired.

This Tank has a rather cool past.......and was once owned by the M.o.d. They had two of them and attached framework onto the turret to mount a camera on ! Since then it has been really well restored and I will continue with that.......good fun

Some of the BIG tanks are almost like a child's toy in regards to details.
