Hi, I am really paying some attentions on the track tension. Here are some photos of my Leopard 2A4 (Chassis only , with 82 track links as the real tank).

No test driving yet. So far looks OK (to me

). Sorry about the painting .....

: Right track. The space between the upper track and the bottom of the sponsons is very tight.; Leopard 2A4-34.JPG (78.3 KiB) Viewed 467 times

: Same right track , with the side skirts down.; Leopard 2A4-40.JPG (58.57 KiB) Viewed 467 times

: Middle section of the right track. See the track pad above the support roller almost touch the sponson. Is it OK?; Leopard 2A4-35.JPG (89.58 KiB) Viewed 467 times

Hi lerh, I recently asked this question and was told it should be between 10mm to 20mm measured on the middle at the top of the track. I set my tracks similar to yours and it didn’t sound right. I will drive it again with this measurement and let you know how it goes.

Thanks Martin.

Chang, just a quick question, why 82 links not 81 as AT recommend ?

Hi Martin,
81 is Armortek's recommendation. 82 is the number of the real tank. I just wish to find out if 82 is OK too on 1/6 model. If it is not , I'll go down to 81.

With regards,

Just add some photos :

: Hull top deck. Some minor details added.; Leopard 2A4-47.png (852.02 KiB) Viewed 62 times

: Again , hull top deck. Turret ring shell guard updated.; Leopard 2A4-48.png (809.54 KiB) Viewed 62 times

: Preliminary front interior concept layout. Sorry about the mess.

: Preliminary rear interior concept layout. Cover net added on two speakers.

So far meet a small issue about the recoil gun barrel adaptor XRE028-Leo and Kian will help to sort it out.
