Taigen/HL Panther A
I've always liked the Panther A and some time ago built one from a Pantiger with heavy modifications (as below). the one thing that always bugged me with this tank was the tank width. It was not really a do-able project to reduce the upper hull in width to get the correct dimensions of the tank. also, the weight of this tank put a lot of stress on the suspension arms and although it worked, it wasn't optimal.
Well, now I have seen the new RCtank.de Lower hull for the panther G which would be ideal with a bit of modification. Also, the Panther G upper hull looks modifyable. I plan to cut the good bits out of my existing Panther A and graft them onto the Panther G upper hull, whilst also utilising the Lower panther g hull from RCtank.de. this should give me a very passable Panther A.
I also plan to add airsoft barrel recoil and a Clark TK22 board.watch this space for progress.
