Calvinwill,

Thanks for putting out such a great effort for all us tank nuts out there!! Would you agree or diagree with these remarks about the Tamiya Leo:

1. On "normal" mode, the tank is a bit slow.

2. On "power" mode, the tank runs at scale speed (45-50mph).

3. The true power of the Leo is when it turns.

4. The tank does not noticable jerk backward during the canon recoil.

Just curious to see what your observations are, since I ran mine today in the old backyard

Thanks!!

Agree with 1-3, mine recoils during firing, not a lot but there is movement. The power mode is to slow, modern MBTs are capable of 70+ mph (with governers removed) and would be used to either close with or retreat from the enemy.

calvinwill, moving back to Calif[8D]
