I put a 4300 Vapex pack in my Panzer III and that lasts >>120 minutes in rough terrain non-stop :-)

The stock 1700 is a lie. They only accept @900mAh when cycled on a proper R/C charger :-(

Yes they are Willy"s gear boxes. This thing can darn near climb a tree now. . with the 105: gearing it would be a little too slow. more like a TigerI . with the 88's it has a more correct ground speed for the Panther with metal tracks.

I've been looking at those. Seems like the right ratios for a PzIII, too!

Actually you may want to consider the 86;1 ratio. The P III was much smaller than the Panther so it was faster. It will still pull stumps but be correct speed scale. you should email Willy and ask him. Tell him Gregg from NJ sent you. LOL . I'll PM you with some info.

Hey

Just wondering how you guys do the dual battery setup?

do you just custom make a connector that is a Y kind of cable with the standard battery plugs on it or do you have to do soemthing "special" to avoid melting things?
Here's my setup:

It worked out well.
