I seem to be the Black sheep of this Club.... what would be the allowance in battle of an Abrams or Leopard 2A6M if I were to strap an IR system to it?

I'm all for it. Variety is the spice of life!

For the IR setting I have no idea. You might want to check with Tim, I think he has a battle system in his Leopard.

Sure, we are restricted by the elecrtonics we are using, but I imagine that an Abrams or Leopard 2 would have 12 hits. And you could always set it for less. I am working on getting my Leopard 1 ready for combat and Ke has a T-55.

Modern Armour will be very interesting.

Still debating on Leopard 2 or Abrams. But when I heard the startup for the Abrams I was on my knees.... (completely forgetting its a gas turbine)

Hay Monk, you can buy the HL electronic system for tanks at Matomart, but no abrams noise.

I see you asked about buying it on the other site...I forget that sites name..

I would like a Lepard but the price better be right for a tank I will gut like a pig. humm Leo SLU ???

Yeah, I was waiting on them both actually.... The Leopard SLU according to the website isn't available yet, but with the HL electronics in it YHR sells DBU's with Benedini sound units. Pretty cool.....

... Cant link the videos yet for some reason...

Who has the Leo/ Abrams, in stock ??? and how much ??

Also i wonder if the sound from the New HL, Chinese 99 tank would work for a leo?

There is a "clone" company that sells Leos.... Arctic Hobby Landrider 403
Its a carbon copy of the Hobby Engine one, and I know 5 are being sold off Amazon for about $119.

There was a place in Canada selling them for 99 but sold out apparently.

Monk. If you want a Leo-2 slu, I think you can get it as a special order.
Manuficature already made it. It will not be difficult to get it.

If I go Leo then maybe, but I wanna hear what it sounds like first

I will be totally same as Tamiya. You also can check the sound of Tim's Leo1.

Then I'm going Abrams. That gas turbine is awesome

Captain!!!! I totally forgot that we can post links now. If you were looking for a Leopard 2 tank here... its a tad cheaper then Phil at RCtankwars. Different company but carbon copy.

Looks OK and with a SLU and a hobbie radio (Gears, traks) it would be a fun tank , cost about $350 to $400 to get it to be a IR battle tank. The Tamiya kit would be about that and then more to have it battle ready.
Or just paint it and have fun.
Im thinking about it .....
Thanks for the info.
seen Wayne's leo today and it looked good, it's a tamiya.

I have it priced out at:

Leopard - $150
Steel gears n 480 - $115
HL Rx18 wiring -$40
DBU and Benedini from YHR - est.$250

Do you really want to pay 250$ for dbu and benedini?

If I get a modern tank it is going to roar. So yes. I will save myself the extra $50 and not get a El-Mod thingy.... this isn't going to be anytime soon, cant kill the college fund

Gears from Heng Long,$35
Purshing tracks and sprocket. $22 Oh you may need two sets of tracks ? =$44..
SLU for Leo...?
Radio..$60 to $95

I would not buy another DBU ,I have three and I find them too slow.
With a Hobbie radio, no one will be on your frequency.
And buy a better speaker..ROAR..

Fine fine.... but if I get the Abrams then Benedini and ELMod are my only choice for proper engine sounds

Well for the money you could put it to having a cool sounding tank ...or a great runner / battle tank.
As far as I know the Benedini is just a sound add on for the DBU. If you can get a DBU cheap than thats fine but I would not spend big buck on them and if the cost is $250 with sound card ..nope...

Also I would use the saved money to buy the good motors and gears from ....PHIL RC TAK WARS .....

Monk. I just remove dbu and rx-18 from my pIII. If you want i can sell them to you at $80.
So you just need get sound card.

Ouuu please hulu!

Hulu, what version is your DBU? The Benedini sound card only works the DBU3. If it's the DBU2 you can get a upgrade chip for it.

Even if its lower version it'd be cheaper then buying a new DBU3
