Default RE: Help purchasing HE Leopard 2A5

Hope you'll find some in North America...
I like the Leopard 2A5 a lot.

ORIGINAL: mackem
Also, the idler wheels need some work and the suspension needs beefing up. ( all very simple to do )
I have seen your thread about your conversion with HL electronics and tracks. But wonder what you mean about the suspension. Do you have any pictures?
I have done a conversion to HL also, but didn't put the electonic in the turret. But as i wrote in your thread, I liked it.
My Leopard has US Tank metal gear, metal sprocket for M26 tracks, plastic tracks, and RX14. I also fitted 2 batterypacks up front inside, because it seemed to gain to much weight in the rear.
But it runs poor (this is compared to my HL M26), so I have to take a closer look at the road wheels. The turret and cannon also needs some work beacuse the turret and cannon movements are very loud and noisy.
