    Look at the bottom of the tank. The holes have screws in them. Use the suppled screwdriver that came with the tank if you still have it.

        I have a 2005 Snow Leopard which is officially the US Army Pershing. You must have a fairly old model because Heng Long changed the package label to Pershing in later release. The Snow Leopard has 7 lower/upper half screws. 4 of the screw holes are hidden at the slope side of the bottom, 2 in the front and one at the rear middle. Use only high quality Philips head screw driver and make sure to secure the screw head before turning.

        I do not recommend 390 motor upgrade without the TK-6.0 or higher motherboard MFU. You can see the motor upgrade I did in Post 26 of thus thread.
        A quick diversion from my other projects. I'd seen Rubicon99's Tamiya Pershing and I liked it's look, specifically the lack of "skirts". Toucan was selling a Heng Long static kit, and fortunately I have a buddy who is upgrading his MFU's so I have a line on HL 6.0's. I don't know this for a fact, but I don't think HL

          Here's a little tip on Philip screws that I learned in the army, dip the tip of the screwdriver in ajax or comet (basically any powdered cleanser), and you won't believe how much better it grips and saves you from stripping out screwheads.

          Anyone who ever worked in army aviation probably already knows that trick.
