I just joined this discussion forum, becase I have purchased a Leopard 2A6 and have nearly finished it. I LOVE IT. It was such a thrill when I first started it up. It's a very impressive model tank. I had a lot of modeling experience from my earlier years, but it was still a challenge to build. Very much worth it, though.

I am still finishing it up, but I have a couple of problems/questions that maybe one of the more experienced Leopard drivers in the group can help me with.

First, I bought the separate optional gun stabilizer unit and installed it according to the manual, but it does not seem to be working. Apparently, the gun elevation servo has to be modified for it to work, but I have no idea what that means or how I would go about doing that.

Second, and this is a bit embarrassing: the Leopard does everything it is supposed to do beautifully, except one very important thing -- I can't get it to turn and pivot. I don't know if there is a disconnect between the transmitter and the tank, or maybe the transmitter is not programmed right. Or maybe there is (already) something wrong with the tank's motor. But the tank goes forward and backward just fine -- it just won't pivot or turn.

Can anyone help me? Please!

Also, I live in Rockville, Maryland, and wonder whether there are any tankers nearby.

Thanks!
