Default RE: My HE Leopard 2A5 modification to HL

Regarding your answer in the other tread "Help purchasing HE Leopard 2A5 "

ORIGINAL: mackem

Hi beachboy,

Crossed threads here I think. I've already replied in your post before reading this one.
The easiest way to modify the suspension is to fit shockers from a PzIII or any HL tank inside the lower hull to the suspension swing arm
of the first and last road wheels. I'll be taking my leo apart this week to fit a laser target designator and will get pics of the suspension
mod then.
When you say your leo isn't running well, what exactly is the problem.
Is it slow? Is it poor at climbing? Could you give more detail please.

Cheers
John
The Leo runs slow. I'm very sure that it should at least keep up with my M26 and probaly outrun it. The metal gear I bought was supposed to be fast-moving (The M26 I got, I'm pretty sure is slow-moving).
About suspension; I'll see if I get any of the PzIII shockers from ebay or a webshop in europe. There are several, so I think it will be easy.
