That's an interesting combination of parts, as its a HL TK7.0 but the chassis, gearboxes and speaker all look like taigen parts. Was this "out of the box" from Toucan, or are you building it up from parts - just curious.Ludwig von wigbearer wrote:A look under the bonnet
It looks like one of the Haya hybrids, Taigen/Torro metal chassis with Heng Long top and electronics.whitecitadel wrote:That's an interesting combination of parts, as its a HL TK7.0 but the chassis, gearboxes and speaker all look like taigen parts.

Hi Mick, you are indeed correct, the Leopard is a Haya special, I specified it without a rx/tx for a smallSon of a gun-ner wrote:It looks like one of the Haya hybrids, Taigen/Torro metal chassis with Heng Long top and electronics.whitecitadel wrote:That's an interesting combination of parts, as its a HL TK7.0 but the chassis, gearboxes and speaker all look like taigen parts.

Hi, the abrams is straight out of the box as it came from toucan, it has steel gears, 360 turret, V7.0 . silly back to front barrel recoil, came in at £250 plus 50 quid shipping and as yet no import feeswhitecitadel wrote:That's an interesting combination of parts, as its a HL TK7.0 but the chassis, gearboxes and speaker all look like taigen parts.

That's interesting that they mix the parts, the Taigen chassis (I bought one for my HL Tiger 1 from forgebear) is much more robust and better engineered than the HL.Ludwig von wigbearer wrote: Hi Mick, you are indeed correct, the Leopard is a Haya special, I specified it without a rx/tx for a small
discount, I expected a unpainted base, When it arrived it was painted and with a taigen v1 mfu, so
sold that on.![]()
Was that from eBay or AliExpress? Toucan has quite high postage I noticed, but I guess if there is no import then its good value still. A lot of UK places seem to be out of stock of HL... not that I am already considering a second tank!Ludwig von wigbearer wrote:whitecitadel wrote:Hi, the abrams is straight out of the box as it came from toucan, it has steel gears, 360 turret, V7.0 . silly back to front barrel recoil, came in at £250 plus 50 quid shipping and as yet no import feesLudwig von wigbearer wrote:A look under the bonnet![]()
