Hi again,
As I mentioned above I'm working on second approach to Leopard 2 tank. In fact I'm writing "I", but I am not alone - I am just the "main engineer"
This time the general plan was to use the Heng Long basic model and upgrade it as much as possible - replacing the entire internals and installing all available metal suspension upgrades. For a while I do not have to bother about external details and I focus on the mechanics - friends from the polish forum support me with preparation of external details. My job is to make the model functional, rigid, powerful and waterproof.
Summarising my previous updates - project scope includes:
- coustruction of set of aluminium hull inserts - with watertight compartments for electronics, laudspeakers and smoke generator,
- construction of completly new powerpacks - using brushless motors,
- use of Elmod or CS-TK001 with a couple of brushless ESC,
- construction of set of turret inserts - allowing a 2-axis gun and camera stabilisation,
- instalation of FPV system with several cameras.
At this stage I can say - the construction is more or less done, and what's most important - stabilisation works!!! Take a look:

Next step is to set up FPV system and make it all work properly
