Tamiya Panther Top Ugrades

[TankSim]

Hi,

I'm about to start a Tamiya Panther G build.

can anyone let me know any essential upgrades.

I was thinking of metal tracks, schumo antena and antena base.
Cheers

I have successfully built to perform very well the Tamiya Panther G and the Tamiya Jagdpanther within the last 3 years.

The parts I found most helpful for improving RC operating performance and for correcting kit part issues are as follows:

1. Impact Metal Tracks and Sprockets
2. Impact Metal Glacis Plate Sprocket Guides and Metal Muzzle Brake
3. Daryl Turner Metal Elevation Arm and the Daryl Turner barrel sleeve
4. Daryl Turner gear box mount brace
5. Replaced the Tamiya turret rotation and elevation unit slipping clutch gears with Tamiya blue solid gears
6. I use a Futaba 2.4 radio now days, so I don't need an external rc antenna, which makes model transport easier amongst the other radio benefits.

I got my parts from the following good vendors, and Welsh Dragon Models Company is a terrific UK source, but you probably know that.
