Upgraded motors on the Tamiya leopard 2a6? You won't need them. As the kit comes the only upgrades that are suggested are new idler mounts and metal swing arms. Both can be got from shumo or impact. It's the very best 1:16 kit available (short of an aero mate tiger ) and needs very little modification.

Thanks again for the help, but I need advice on upgraded motors for my tiger, not a 2a6

Good Morning, Sam,
Very, very nice work! Serious chaps in the Tiger 1 there and the photos are superlative. Really shows off your hard work on the rust and paint. Extremely realistic!
regards,
Painless
P.S. Nicely organized wiring as well.
