hi

@mcovalsk
you say your standart HL Tiger do not have any countable damage after 3 year of use??? i think you must be very lucke because normaly its very untypikal. After a a few years all plastik supensionparts of the tiger wiel brocke soon, exspezialy the lidel pins inside the hull, The roadweelmovement is not tolerabel anymore and the leadingweel just place inside the plastik hull will do everything but leading. You can trust me, 80% of all aktive HL Tiger Driver will now these thinks.

About the Leopard, sure these parts are not made for to keep the leopard as a toy, if you put diveent electronick inside with better speakers, if you put metal tracks on it, if you want to use the metalroadweels, and alot of diveret metal stuff, it will be no problem for a tank like the Leopard to reach 8 or more Kilogramms, using than a more powerfull Drive the standart plastik setup is not able to hold the forces that beet the hull.

im using 3mm Aluminium plates at the moment, because it makes the construntion of this inlay more easy to me as if im using smaller one. Becuase of the tricky iner struktur of the leopard. But after the first feeling test im not unhappy with that. the 3mm are ok for a construktion of this dimesion.

by the way here is an example of strongness what realy earns the discription of strongness.... ;-)



To bring it to the final point, you are right, this inlay is not a must for everyone exspezialy if the Leopard keeps it basic setup But if it goes more Havy it is a helpfull option for modelers who want more with its leopard.... sure thay can buy a Tamyia but the Tamyia will not strong as the HL Leopard with this upgrade ;-).
