Default RE: Mato Panther Metal Roadwheel Accuracy

Hi Nate, You may want to consider this set of HL Panther G replacement wheels from rctank.de.

http://www.rctank.de/product_info.ph...roducts_id=733

This set has the replacement metal swing arms, bearings, and the rubber has the "Continental" embossed on it.
This set is correct in compared to the real thing. I have attached photos, from RC Tank Wars site, so you see what I mean.

I used a set for the Tamiya Panther G. Not this HL set, but they are the same wheels.

A little more expensive, but a better upgrade then just adding the metal MATO wheels to the plastic swing arms.

Here is a good resource of photos for the real Panther G at Bovington that may help you as well.
