I saw the Tamiya Challenger 2 (Desertised Version) at the IPMS Nats in the UK and new I had to build a bigger RC version, that was two weeks ago, this is were I am today. Wheels wont be a problem after the skirts are on and I have a set of leopard block pattern tracks to go on when its finished.


Non scratched parts are tracks, wheels (apart from making them bigger), suspension and drive train. At the moment it runs like a dream. Lets see what its like when the Multifunction gear goes in.

Suspension system is from a Tamiya leopard A4, I used the swing arms, torsion bars and wheels. The drive engines and gearboxes are from a DMD Sherman. The Chassis is made from 6mm plastic sheet. I've been off today so I made up the front reactive armour part. I will post some more pictures later on tonight.
