Hey Fellas,

I have an HL Jagdpanther that was entirely plastic when I got it but I'm slowly makin' a decent TD out of it. This mod could be used for just about any HL tank, though. I won't say it was easy, but it wasn't that hard, either. I took some video at different stages, and even though it's six videos it's only about 10 minutes of footage. The plate is what comes in a taigen T1 and I modified it as needed, but it was pretty simple, really. The important thing to remember is test fit, test fit, test fit. Patience is required. And when I say I have three screws holding the plate down, that's three screws on each side. Before I started I did the mod with the brass tubing around the posts for the mounting screws.



This what it looked like when I got it.



This what it looked like yesterday morning.



This is the mod, but I actually did the videos because I put brass gearboxes in this one. That was the only way to get anywhere close to a 4:1 gearbox with 58mm shafts in a mid/low motor configuration. Lot of work, but she drives like a dream.



These are the rest of the stills, and here's the videos

GREAT job! Glad I could help with the motor plate. That JP I bet drives a ton better huh? Especially since you can swap between the 3:1 and 5:1 ratios now it has to have some monster torque for outside. Have you used the lowest ratio yet outside?

Keep up the good work. Always looking for ways to improve my tanks.
