That is 2wd mate. The original link to Ross Mods is a 4wd Leo.

i don't know much about leo's but know a fair bit about the rest of the FG range. am i correct in saying that leo's are all alloy? there's no sportline version?

 

[whizzy]

the first released leopard race was a sportsline version

King Cobra Distribution are selling the 4WD for £2260 or the 2WD is £1600
I would've post a link, but The KCD sites server is down.
@ sperera, correct .The new comp models 4WD & 2WD are all alloy except for the front upper arms,Longer & wider than previous Leos . Older Sports-line kits were plastic.

I'd rather have this over an MCD. friend payed £2500 on his RR Evo III Comp, and sold the rolling chassis @ £300 , 2 months later .The LSDs kept melting due to bulk heads /diff cases falling apart.(Never bashed ,just raced)
I've built a few 4X4 FG kits & think belt drive is more reliable @ 1/5 scale size.
@ whizzy . You'll be one of the first in the country.way to go.

thanks for the info fellas. ive never owned a MCD so cant say anthing good or bad about them. I have and do own FG and happily say best large scale ive every had, running a 4WD fg baja at the moment and belt system has never let me down plus so easy to work on.

might have to look at a 4WD leo sportline in the future

 

[sperera]

i made contact with the australian importer. no plans to do a sportline and CFR here in Oz has stock. 4WD comp Leo is $3,450

 

[whizzy]

the first Leopard 2WD in the uk. This will be the FG factory Team Car to be driven by Richard Stiles in the UK next season. the car comes with tuned pipe,airfilter and filter bag and zen 26cc.

Only 2WD , but DAMB! That is a seriously nice car . Like the fact Fg decided to turn the whole steering mech on it's head... won't work on the 4x4 though?
