Yes I have Just yesterday I finished my smallest tank yet This one a T34, is smaller than the Leopard but probably the same scale 1:77.

Advanced micro circuit board receiver with Telemetry for Voltage and temperature. Ultra micro dual ESC with its own Track mixing.

What a hoot, Modler: the transmitter is bigger than all the tanks combined! I have enough trouble seeing 1/16 parts, so you must (still ) have great sight. I also saw your "Simply Tidy" container for small parts: I am going to check on one or two of those! Thanks!

You can order those from Michaels craft store. They can be ordered 2 their online store. Maybe the have one near you. Or a craft store that is similar. I could not keep up with what I do with the models without these clear plastic totes. I like see through containers for storage makes finding things much faster

This video shows a Toy Grade Leopard that has been converted to Hobby Grade with Telemetry receiver. With R\C models this small (world's smallest radio controlled), it is easy to overrun the small and delicate 100 mAh 1s lipo. With the Telemetry receiver, you can set a low voltage alarm that beeps when the setpoint is reached. There is also a visual indication of the lipo voltage. Overrunning these small lipo's can damage them pretty quickly so best to not do that unless you just like buying replacement batteries.
