Jaws

Panther F

They were just shipped out yesterday so I won't have mine until Friday.

If I'm home that day I'll snap a few shots of it.

Thanks
Jimmy

Panther F

Nice pictures, but the one thing that will have to change is that those are not rubber rimmed road wheels.

I'll have to double check on the return wheels and the exhaust fumes came out on top of the back deck through those two exhaust pipes.

nice, any chance anybody can get a shot of it up against another 1/16 tank ? to get an idea of the size

cheers,

Matt

has thing tank been changed over before shipping or are those stock motors ???

Hi Darksheer
Stock motors.
Those are the same the last HL Jagdpanther mount, specification RS-380 SH, metallic brushplate.

HI

How do these motors compare with the white caps on the Tiger for speed and torque?

cheers

bubbajoexx

it was right in front of my eyes...

Have Heng Long included a Russian T.C figure?

Panzerfaust77

HL have improved SOOOO much. It's amazing to see, especially when you consider that they would still be printing money even if the quality was poor (hasn't stopped many other products from China!).

This thing looks huge - what's the size comparison with the Tiger and are the dimensions accurate?

Also is that an airsoft gun or have they abandoned airsoft for IR now?

Hi Gorehound

These motors are faster than the white-capped Suntechs, no load rpm is 18,000 against around 8,000 for the Suntechs

but they run smooth, and with the new RX-18/14s the feeling is that you have more control than with the older RX-13s.

Thank Uhu

MY Jagdpanther was always too fast for my liking and I have a couple of spare white cap motors so may just swap them over to cut the speed down a bit.

cheers

No work today [] so as soon as mine gets dropped off into my grubby little hands I'll snap a few pictures, and then some. Should be in about 7 hours!!

I'd like to hook-up the real exhaust tips on the back deck to the smoker. I wonder if it can still work after I gut the HL electronics?

I know nothing about Russian tanks. From the pics it is obvious that a paint job is in order.. What is the correct color just olive drab?

bubbajoexx

flat forest green
