Default RE: What is missing here. ?

If no one offers up a manual, try this work around solution.

0. You will need a turret mounting ring that sits atop the deck plus:

1. Visit ETO Armor and they can help you determine the turret parts you still need (they do have the rear hatch, co hatch and might have a manual or pdf of a manual):

email Bob at ETO with your questions and use both email addresses:

2. Also try this site and email Willy with build questions and ask for a pdf manual :

3. Once you know the parts numbers for sure for your missing turrret parts go to Tamiya USA. They still stock some of the RC KT Porsche Turret plastic parts.

4. I turned a static Porsche KT into a DMD, sound, battle unit runner with Willy's big motors, Daryl Turner braces and Willy's gear reduction units and I used the HL Pz3 turret elevation motor (2 springs pulling down, not up), the motor plugs right into the DMD with a plug change, but skipped the recoil mod. Used a separate ESC to drive the turret (using the old Tamiya Turret rotation unit, still sold at Tamiya USA) and sync'd it with a Y Cord to the DMD/receiver cables for sound. Tank club members thought those solutions were cheating (fast turret rotation). The tank at 8 hits could still drive away from an engagement. So, I sold the tank along with the manuals and built the Panther G. This time I won't let them look inside any of my tanks.
