Modern HL tanks?

I got the all metal tracked version, with the rubber feet in the track links. A positive for this version is the presence of ball bearings in all wheels.

My error, the drive axle support bearings I ordered from eBay, but still coming from China. The seller is "daclover".

This is how my HL Leopard 2A6 Pro version (All metal tracks) Arrived.
And I installed 8 x 12 x 3.5 sealed flanged drive shaft bearings in the original plastic hubs. Two bearings in each plastic hub - one inside & one outside. Each held in place by a light layer of two-part epoxy.

I'm looking at some Challenger II online photos and found this. Do you think LegoDEI makes 1:1 scale versions of his IR receiver?

Looks like they're ready to play some serious full scale IR battlefield games. 👍

Must be a joint US/British exercise as those are US soldiers climbing all over that Challenger.

Looks like the US soldier with the black hat is reading the Challenger tank operation manual in his hands. HaHa!
