Calling on the wealth of experience

Post by addi564 »

Hi everybody

I have had my challenger 2 since the day they have come out and done nothing with it except play in the garden.

What I want to do is upgrade it as much as possible before detailing and painting.

What I want to do is put the best possible motors and gearbox in. I want to add electronics that are worthy of controlling the tank but I want the simplest way of doing it. I would like to get rid of the BB shooting feature and that daft track rock when firing. I want the gun to fire with recoil and if it's possible adapt the load position before returning level to fire again. I would also like to put 360 rotation into the turret

I have started by buying the metal wheels, idlers and sprockets and at some point will fit them.

My question to everybody and with expense to one side what should be going on my shopping list to make the most realistic challenger two.

Any opinions and help will be greatly appreciated

Rob

Yep speak to Scalawag, mine are pretty much stock apart from the sprockets & idlers & load of scratch built bits
