RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hi,
I'd like to share with you my next project - second approach to Leopard 2 tank. In fact I'm writing "I", but I am not alone - I am just the "main engineer"
This time the general plan was to use the Heng Long basic model and upgrade it as much as possible - replacing the entire internals and installing all available metal suspension upgrades. For a while I do not have to bother about external details and I focus on the mechanics - friends from the polish forum support me with preparation of external details. My job is to make the model functional, rigid, powerful and waterproof.

Project scope includes:
- coustruction of set of aluminium hull inserts - with wateright compartments for electronics, laudspeakers and smoke generator (mostly done),
- construction of completly new powerpacks - using brushless motors (done )
- use of Elmod or CS-TK001 with a couple of brushless ESC,
- construction of set of turret insers - allowing a 2-axis gun and camera stabilisation (partially done),
- instalation of FPV system with several cameras.

At this stage I can say - it is possible

Geeeze ..........that's some serious fabrication! ...far above and beyond your normal HL modification...you use lazers to cut the metal?
nice work...but way above that of a normal builder...I like it

It is not laser - I use cnc router.

Wow excellent engineering going into this tank build.

Awesome work,

Love what you have done here, can't wait to see how this turns out, I also have a HL L2, but it certainly doesn't look like that inside!

Simply speechless. That is a work of art

Good Evening,
Excellent Engineering! Following along.
regards,
Painless

Alpha, a CNC machine is basically a fully automated robot that utilises multiple milling heads to turn out a specific programmed design.

They are amazing bits of kit.

Brilliant work thus far vanhassen.
