Default RE: Another Tamiya Leopard

Here are some photos of KMW's 1/10 scale PSO http://www.rcpanzer.de/apboard/thread.php?id=14956 scroll down and you'll see them.

I believe Leopard2A6 Owner was working on PSO using Tamiya's 1/16 kit, that is one difficult project for sure. I hope he finishes it, wonder if he will make the dozer blade functional? Either way, I hope he completes and then post photos of his work.

The photo of the mis-aligned track had me wondering how that happened, I'm thinking high speed (60+) along with the unstable road due to heavy rains. If they were traveling at, oh lets say 30 mph or slower, the road would have gave way but the tracks would not have dis-lodged, all that energy travelling at 50+mph and then coming to a sudden stop with the right side off the road for a few seconds, would have been enough to dis engage the track.

Its not uncommon for some crews of modern MBTs to see how fast their tanks can go, look at the conditions, wide open and flat terrain, hell if I were in real Abrams or any modern MBT under those conditions (except for the heavy rain), I too would lead foot it
