Default My Leopard and Abrams

We here are the first pictures of my old Abrams which is old but a unknown..possible an Espilon tank and my VS Pro Leopard2 A5..


Now notice the controllers look the same but they are different colors.




Do you know the Silver one controls the Abrams but not the Leopard2 HOWEVER the Black controller controls BOTH tanks so I can command them both at the sametime!!!!




Strange enough the bottom of the Abrams has NO markings to show who made it and it came with a 9.6V battery which I now have converted over to 8AA batteries.


Video coming soon..

A 9.6v battery likely makes it an old HL. Detail paint in places is the same found (or not found) on the HL. Thats a fairly old VS, too, judging by the lack of weathering. 05 maybe? I've got an 05 Leo2A5 in Winter camo.

Well the few things that goes against the HL Theory


1. 7 road wheels would make this either an old VS or Epsilon/Mauri which all have 7 road wheels.
2. No lights on the front of the tank but the rear only
3. Controller not the same as HL
4. Road wheels are riveted on?! which is strange
5. The 9.6 volt battery had 3 wires not 2 like the HL tank.

Hi i purchased a few with the silver radio they looked like they where painted much better than yours is...they where OEM marui tanks and on the bottom of mine there was a little square plastic plate and when you pried it off it said marui under it.

Yours have any plastic plate glued on the bottom?
Yours may be a marui clone or actually made by marui but another company painted it and added the lights and funky wired pack in place of aa's...

No plates on the bottom..

I've been thinking about repainting the the Abrams for the Desert scheme like my big 1/9 scale tank I own.

Then again a Green Abrams would be a good one as well..
