Hello and welcome to the forum GreyAce :wave:

Tis good to see an enthusiastic new member that isn't from the States ;) You ordered a leopard and not an M1 Abrahams, bit of a give away :haha:

I hope yours will be every bit as good a runner as the early 2.4 gig one I purchased many years ago, I can't remember whether it has metal tracks etc, and I can't check, because my grandson nabbed it, but I'm sure it has lol.

Anyway, enjoy the forum, and keep us posted about your new purchase when it arrives.

Hello, GrayAce. I wonder if the "Gray" part means what I think it means. :think: I have not yet seen that camouflage scheme on a Leopard and I like it! No! No! I don't need another tank...I think...maybe not...no! enough...well...

Maybe GrayAce will reveal which he used. :D

Hello and welcome from Argyll and Bute. Nice Leopard. I think I may have just seen your post on FB. Saving pocket money for a new tank. Leopard, preferred, Challenger, or Merkava are at the top of the list. Or I could finish updating the ones I have first.

Now you did it! :haha: Your first post here on RCTW and what happens? Hunh? :D Oh, :poop:. MotionRC shipped it immediately and I got it in fewer than 24 hours.(Well, Gurnee is only 58 miles from me, but free FedEx shipping is cheaper than driving there. Besides, the last thing I need is to be near that place with room in my little car.) I am not addicted, no, not at all. :crazy:
