Default RE: Hobby Engine 1/16 Leopard Tank

Richard L,

Hello, first time poster and new owner (well, they're on the way...) of Hobby Engine Abrams'/Leopards.

As such, I read your comment about proportional electronics with interest and would like to know if this is something that can be performed as a single-package service by someone or if the electronics are sufficiently plug'n'play that they can be borrowed piece meal from Heng Long or Tamiya and installed by anyone.

I would like-

1. Graduated acceleration.
2. Single stick turning controls.
3. Barrel elevation without MG noise.
4. Battlefield IR.
5. Engine Noise.
6. Metal, non-shed tracks.

Is this in anyway possible with the HE tanks and if so, what's the first step/parts source (Backyard Armor?) to help get me going?


Thank You- CJ
