Default RE: Starting Hobby M1A1 Engine project NEED guidance / suggestions and a Leopard 2A6 Assembley Manual

buy a 2a6 build the lower hull then mount the abrams upper hull to that.
i was going to buy the tankzone hull but was told by phil @ rctankwar
that its not so great for the price.

i bought tamiya panther gearboxs, tamiya leo sprockets and tracks
road wheel spacers from panther g on here. (swing arms kinda worrie me)

the turret is held on to the hull with 3 screws in a ring with the wires passing through
it. in the gear ring is a v wedge that stops full 360* cut off the wedge and
the turret will go 360* untill the wires snap.. buy a slip ring for this

The front slope is only off a little bit i think some plastic and filler will
work better then cutting and reshaping hull. now the rear of the hull is wacked
the engine grills look small & odd.

the TTS Sight is red clear plastic that pops out with a screw ez fix
T/C vision blocks are harder unless the metal one is better made then stock
