Hey fellow tankers,
I got a new package today of parts for the new HL Leopard 2A6 tank. We have no plans for a Leopard, but I made a fuss about getting everyone some parts made
So here I present the new Taigen upgrades for the Leopard....
Metal Drive Wheels
Metal Idler Wheels with Bearings
Metal Suspension
Metal Road Wheels with Rubber Tires
Metal Tracks
I ordered a Leopard to show them off to you guys. Here are the pictures below:
Here is the slideshow showing a few more pictures: http://s1336.photobucket.com/user/im...%202A6%20Parts
Once again, you guys first The parts should be in around Xmas.

No prices yet, but around the same as our current items.

Haha no, then I wouldn't have any! This tank will be getting some upgrades soon, probably steel or brass gearboxes and a new radio system. Then it will go on the shelf with the others.

OK I have a set on route from China, and when I get them I will check them out against these pictures. These have bearings, so that is good, and the ones I ordered are supposed to have to, so it will be intersting to see how similiar they are.
The pictures look good and these are a nice add to elevate the HL Leopard 2 to Tamiya parity. The difference between the torsion bar suspension and the HL style, does not matter much to me as I don't see much of a perfomance difference between the two. Metal wheels, rubber tires and bearings though, are a pretty nice upgrade.
So I am sure these will be wanted. I know I couldn't wait, and ordered a set as soon as I found they were avialable somewhere!!!
Cheers

I am going to love this tank when i can afford to buy one. I can't wait. I also really like the idea that Taigen is smart enough to have already had the upgrade parts on the drawing board before they released the tank. they must have for them to be available so soon.

This is the exact reason why I want to make the Impact tracks work... Metal pads that are suppose to be rubber that will wear shiny, That don't jive with me.

pictures of real Leopard A2 tracks.
HL is still a little tiny bit off from details.
But with this kind of price, who cares
