That is steep Jake...Mine came to be about the price of a low end Taigen ...reason I jumped on it...figuring the cost of the road wheels alone for the Abrams run anywhere from 130 to 170 US...It was a Purchase that kept on giving...as it came with a LiOn Battery...and the shipping was free(that's what pretty much sealed the deal)...because my usual EBAY seller would offer Free Ship...but to Hawaii no...so depending on the tank the cost would vary...the thing that was good about that guy...is that because I was a return customer..he would give me a break on the ship...but he didn't stock the Premium version...
I feel lucky I found this new guy...His communication was fast and cordial...gave me a lot of info before I made the purchase...and once I made the purchase...the delivery time was great ...It was the reason I was considering getting the LEO....still am...but I am also thinking the Chally will come out soon too
I like the Chally better...so logic said WAIT FOR IT

PROBLEM FOUND !

One of the drive gears in the l/h gearbox must of been faulty, miscasting or something. I only found it as the drive to left track totally failed. One of the intermediate gears was poorly formed/cast so it was only just about "catching" the other drive gear, but on occasion, missing, stopping drive. hence the "stall" effect.
Ive decided to throw away these "zinc" gear sets and have ordered a pair of steel gear boxes.
opted for one of the "black" gear sets, hopefully stronger and more reliable.

Black Steel are best Good to hear you found your problem...Forgebear should be able to sort you out...and if you want your tank to go slower..there are a few lower ratio black steel gearboxes made by Taigen that should fit your tank as well the deluxe models have ball bearings for the gear shafts

Thanks for the terrific News!
