Yeah, money may hold me back. For a while...

I am courious, how much of my Heng Long stuff will transfer over if I get Tamiya tanks. Like, do the batteries fit both? And tracks, I like the Tamiya panther too, can I get metal tracks for Tamiya tanks?

The Leo is very cool and I like the fact that modern tanks can be deploied to any enviornment.It makesmy mtn. terrain is not so hard to belive for photo backgroungs. After all no tiger tank ever fought around 14,000ft peaks. A Leo would look great with my mtns. as backdrop. Perhaps Swiss army? My friend served in the Swiss army and could give me pointers.
Certainly bud, in fact...if you have any static model building experience....you'll feel right at home with most all tamiya parts coming in sprues. Tamiya's take the same batts and you'll be required to purchase your own RX/TX...but other than that, easy peasy. Unless you're hard up for a Panther or anything in the price range of $700....my logic says, it's wise to invest that additional $150 for the Leo. But, for some reason that seems hard to swallow for some and I don't get that. $700 bucks for a kit then another $100-$200 or so for additional upgrades and accessories....just don't get it.lol
