Official Torro 1/16 Scale German Leopard 2A6 Battle Tank RTR Thread

Curious if the Torro version comes with 390 motors like the Taigen does? Yes I see the specs but more than once Motions specs have been incorrect in my experience. Taigen has 390 motors with their 4:1 gearset. And often Torro follows suit but I'd like to know for certain. The current Torro offering is IR with barrel recoil/flash and smoke.

I suspect that you are correct. The Torro metal Leopard 2A6 needs the 390 motors to run properly. The MotionRC.com marketing department are likely to be lazy and just copy the listing from other brand for the Torro. And they do not read this forum, nor answer specific questions too technical for them.

The Mabuchi 300 series motors are small. Its torque is directly proportional to the rpm. The metal Torro will need the 25000 rpm 390, not the 15000 rpm 380.

My experience of adapting the Torro metal lower chassis is very positive. I love how the Leopard 2A6 runs outdoor now.

It would be much easier to swap out the turret, these come painted or unpainted.

Thanks for the feedback David.

I don't think so. My understanding is that for Torro, they have two different mechanisms inside the turret.

Just starting out in Tanks with the Torro German Leopard 2A6 1/16 Scale Battle Tank - RTR. Is there a BB upgrade you can get for the IR version?

Thanks

1/16 Scale German Leopard 2A6 Battle Tank from Torro - RTR - TOR1113889001

The Leopard 2 is a main battle tank developed by Krauss-Maffei in the 1970s for the West German Army. The tank first entered service in 1979 and succeeded the earlier Leopard 1 as the main battle tank of the German Army. It is armed with a 120mm smoothbore cannon, and is powered by a V-12 twin-turbo diesel engine. Various versions have served in the armed forces of Germany and 12 other European countries, as well as several non-European nations.

This version is delivered as RTR (Ready to Run), meaning it is fully functional out of the box.

All Metal Track System All of Torro's "Pro-Edition" tanks feature full metal drive systems. Single track links are connected with steel pins, propelled by metal drive sprockets and riding over metal road wheels and idler. Confidently conquer terrain with these durable metal tracks!

Exhaust Effect Enjoy the added scale realism that an exhaust provides.

Heavy Metal Castings Hoist hooks, spare track links and even simulated "welds" are reproduced in cast metal! The iconic "Zimmerit" coating applied by tank crews to repel magnetic mines is also molded into the plastic upper hull for additional period accuracy.

IR Battle Ready Engage in friendly infrared ("IR") combat with other tanks using Torro's proprietary IR Battle System, both inflicting hits upon and receiving hits from opponents! Sounds and action signal each hit, until the 5th hit disables the tank. After 10 seconds, the disabled tank restarts and can rejoin the fight!

Onboard Charging Torro's convenient onboard charging system eliminates the hassle of removing batteries after every driving session. Safely charge the onboard NiMH battery by plugging the included charger's plug into the tank's concealed charge port.

Superb Scale Fidelity Molded details, metal cast parts, brass photo-etched parts, and functional elements such as opening hatches all elevate this RC model to the next level, making it a perfect display piece when it's not powering through the battlefield outside.

360 Degree Turret Fully rotate the metal turret 360 degrees, and move the all-metal barrel up and down to train on your target. Torro's integrated drive electronics gives you complete proportional control to translate your precise inputs to all axe of movement. Drive, turn, traverse, train, and fire!
