Maybe we should have our own thread?

I've had a T-72 since March and just received a new Leopard 2 A6 this week. My T-72 had a critical failure in the first week and was promptly replaced by Toyeast. Because of shipping, they only made me return the wheels, treads and battery cover for insurance reasons, leaving me with a hull, all the electronics and the remote. I have been toying with the idea to rebuild it once parts are available, but after getting the 2007 Leopard, I really want to swap the electronics. Has anyone done this? I know HL conversions have been made, but I am yet to see an straight VS upgrade. The T-72 spoiled me and the Leopard just doesn't cut it. If I hear it grinding and watch it throw another tread while making a simple turn, I think I'll kick it off the deck. It's so annoying to me, I just ordered a Type 90. I really wish I had paid closer attention to the details, they had me believing the electronics on the 2007 models were the same as the Tiger, T-72 and Type 90. Can anyone offer some advice before I go and order the boards? One thing of interest, the T-72 and Leopard remotes are not swappable, regardless of the crystal configuration.
