Hi, Ebay seller jr-rc from Japan. Run a search on 9805944 Tamiya 1/16 Leopard tracks.

nice one mate. Seems like a good price only £39. I'll have a go tonight. Thanks

Karen at the AAF can get them. that is where I got mine from.

RE: tamiya leo 2a6 tracks
 

Hmm, with shipping it actually works out cheaper from the tank museum! Thanks

RE: tamiya leo 2a6 tracks
 

Yeah and Karen always refunds part of the money for shipping because PayPal uses a flat rate. I will be getting another set of these tracks for an Abrams I am getting. I'll just have too nip every little corner off of every litte rubber tread pad, but still the cheapest way too get a realistic set of Abrams tracks.

lol i thought of doing the same thing to the pads as these are for an abrams too. Might be too painstaking! I'm also getting the abrams sprocket from tankzone and modding my heng long drive shafts

Hey smoke, I have sets of the roadwheel spacers made up and ready too go. You can get them from Phil at RCTankWars, as he will be the seller of these mod parts for the Hobby Engine tanks since he sells that brand. Give him a shout and see what he thinks.

I've already done most of the hard work on the wheels thankfully by glueing the 2 wheel halves closer together. They're holding up really well surprisingly. I'm actually even thinking about buying the metal abrams tracks and sprockets that are on sale on ebay at the moment instead of the leo tracks. I figured what the hell, you can't beat metal tracks! not to mention the accuracy. I'll just have to see how the rx18 holds up to the extra weight along with the added stress on the chassis, suspension and wheels. I'm definately going to add metal bushings to the suspension arms.

I'm hopefully also going to contact Phil about elmod at some point.

Hey Panther G have you started work on your abrams yet?

Yeah I dont know if I trust the stock HE suspension enough to try metal tracks. The Tamiya LEO tracks are awesome as they are. Probably the best factory stock track on any tank from any manufacturer.
