New leopard 2 a6 with all the extra's
SycoCowboy

It was a special ' buy it now' Ebay package deal from Stella's around Christmas. It was the only one I've seen since. If you're interested Stella's would gladly put one together for you. This was my second tank From them. Excellent company to buy from. Right now it's 3rd on my next to build list.

In order to remove the spur gear, you need to install a new adjustable center diff. The new metal main gear will drive directly off the clutch bell. This will make the truck run in reverse. So the front and rear diffs must be rotated 180 deg. The fix is an absolute must for this truck. You can still get the parts for under $100 total from towerhobbies. There's a full parts list on their webpage http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXT802&P=7 Let me know if you need any help.

The car transporter behind the Knight hauler is nice. I wish Husky would make a 1:14 or 1:16 scale trailer. The 1:18 does not look as well behind a 1:14 rig. The red & white Wedico Tow truck looks outstanding. Thanks for the pics. :-)

MAVERICK

Much too large to be a Tamiya Globetrotter! Very nicely detailed though. Is it gas powered?

Chrome edition aeromax

The Visor came on the truck, but it's just a simple strip of polished aluminum with a right angle bent on each end.

The steel gear upgrade was an option on the Inferno as well. Check Ebay for the parts. If I can offer any other help just Email me.

I found the following link on google. It's exactly what I used.

http://www.southeastrc.com/Items/StdItemView.aspx?lookup=KYO3241&tc=REPI


in order to install the optional steel main gear (KYOBSW019), the
customer will have to purchase KYOBSW034 adjustable center diff
and KYOBS041 diff housing. The counter gear will have to be
removed and the front and rear diff units will have to be
filpped over.
