VK 16.02 Leopard

This section is for builds that are not strictly Tamiya or Heng Long. For instance, replacing the electronics from a WSN or Matorro, or even a scratch-build.

Hi guys,

It's been a while since I updated but here you have a couple of videos of the elevation and rotation of the turret, and the recoil of the barrel. I am very happy because the design hours have paid off 8)

remember that you can get the STL files at printables, likes and downloads are welcome :D : https://www.printables.com/es/model/245 ... 02-leopard

Wow, this is not what I expected :clap: :clap: .Thanks for building and sharing the Leopard. I see that you have added tools and track links to the sides. looks great!.

I have to update the model, because I have added some stuff to upper sides: cylindrical stowage bin, tools rack left, spare track link holder and smoke dischargers, as well as some minor corrections:

I was expecting more issues with suspension and putting together the hull structure (many parts to glue together) but it just all worked very well. Super happy with this tank. Also using Heng Long track, wheels/sprockets, and suspension parts, made it run really well - laterally as stock HL tanks.
I used PLA for big parts and resin for details. Tools etc. are just Heng Long parts from Jagdpanther I bought to butcher for that project.
Probably an overkill but this runs on HL 7.1, should have used cheaper 7.0 with my arduino mod for flash/smoke/recoil.
My only suggestion - I would add raised base for HL gear motors so you could just screw them to the hull floor.

Overall great design, hope to see more from you!
