Shaun thank you for that information once I get my confidence up I may well try what you are telling me perhaps with this very one
i'm the sort of person if you drew a line on some wood and said saw that it would not be straight But ask me to pick you up at 0400Hrs to go some where and I'll be there at 0345Hrs it's just a lack of my faith in what I can do that looks good to others if you know what I am getting at
yes and I do agree with you ref the finish on the shop bought Tanks
Shaun
do you recognize this tank I just bought for my £30 is it one of no sound jobs, I think and what do the 3 buttons do on the TXunit
I'm not to bothered about sound you can't get a 1/16 Tank for £30 and expect it to be top notch.
I wish that there were not loads of screws under the hull
I am not to sure how to get the tracks of etc perhaps your not ment to strip this one and and up grade it.
I don't know how long the lad had it but they did say it was gathering dust Shaun.
I have given it a week fairy liquid wash and there was some muck
ps when we painted our Trucks in B A O R in the 70tys all we had was mat black and mat olive green

thank's for helping
Stewart I'm a bit of a Night Hawk I talk to a friend in Charleston on Skype some nights but at present I have shingles and there not funny

I do believe you have bought the worst of both worlds, you now appear to be the owner of a "Pantiger" and to compound that it is a very old 27 MHz crystal Transmitter which was some years ago superseded by the 2.4 GhZ Transmitter.
The Pantiger was a Tank designed by Heng Long as a quick follow up to the Tiger 1 which had surprised the Heng Long sales department with its instant popularity,
So to save the expence of new moulds for a new authentic model of Tank they invented their own Tank by stretching the body and planted it on top of the Tiger I Hull and fobbed it off to the unknowing as a Panther.
Only it isn't and with all the work in the world it never will be,
If you can I suggest you demand your money back because you appear to have been ripped off.
The thing to remember with HENG LONG is that unlike all the other makers of R/C Tanks they advertise and sell their products as "TOYS" so as toymakers poetic licence is acceptable. Have a look at a photograph of a Panther and compare it with your Bastardization you will soon see the difference

Matt Black & Olive Green !!.............and I bet you were not even able to be funky with that eh !!
Mr Stewart, what you have is called a Pan(Panther) tiger(Tiger 1 chassis) Pantiger. No such vehicle existed.
What can be said though, is that you do have the bottom half of a good H/L tank, and the top half of a good option for alternative parts for a Panther modification.

The buttons below are (in order left to right)
engine start
machine gun fire sound
main gun fire sound

These are as good a runner as any other, they are just historically inaccurate & cannot be made to be close to such without major engineering intervention.
But, at 30 quid, run it hard and learn stuff along the way
