Hi Barry,
Thanks for the info :thumbup: . It will be interesting to see what gearbox system they use. The type 10 uses the same as the Leo2.Plus in the type 10 you get the gearbox casing with the display model!!. I’ve not seen any pictures of the RC M1A2 as yet so it will be interesting to see what gear system Tamiya will use?.Brian...

Hi,
Yep the same as the leo2 and the type 10. When I got the type 10 Display mod I just took the part numbers from the leo2 instructions and ordered all the internal gear parts. Came to around £50 +post. Brian...
