Hi,

As Bennie stated, AFV is a great parts source for your Leo 2 build. I got the MG turret carriage and metal turret storage baskets from AFV.

I used Mitosal's Leopard metal adjustable idler system, because Henntech wasn't around during my build and the Mitosal parts work good. I do use the Henntech idler system, sourced from ETO Armor, on a Leo 1A4 build currently on my work bench and that system is excellent.

Just email Mitosal and ask them if they are still selling parts and if whatever is in stock. I also sourced road wheel bearings from Mitosal, but that was several years ago.

"Thanks for the advice! I did hear about the centering stick upgrade, Ill definitely order the parts from hobby services. I would like to install the GBS unit as well, but I heard that it works slowly. Also thanks for the battery, is that standard connector compatible with tamiya connectors?"

Answers: As to your radio selection, the Futaba 2.4 in my experience, will not operate the Tamiya Leo 2 Stabilization Unit. That fact drove both Daryl Turner and myself crazy for a bit. That is why I later switched out my Futata 2.4 and replaced it with the Futaba FM Ground Radio, per tech advise coming from Tamiya USA. The stabilization unit, TBU and stick light commands then worked perfectly and immediately

The stabilization works well in my model and is not slow, when using the Futaba FM ground radio. The Leo 2A6 DMD Unit is older tech, so that is probably why it is not very compatible with the later to market Futaba 2.4 radio system.
