Taigen Panther tracks

[Davarama]

Hi, can't find what I want on search, can anyone recommend how many track links to use on the Panther G? Fitted mine last night minus the spares and although they work fine they look far too loose.

Real deal looks like they should do that lovely curve from drive sprocket to about the fifth road wheel but a heads up on how many links may save some grief!

cheers, Dava.

If it looks wrong take a link out, try again. Much much quicker counting links. Even better get yourself a track tensioner.

Presuming you are not yet using a Taigen metal lower hull?

I'm in the middle of chopping up my HL Panther hull. I'm quickly realising that the track tensioner + quick release + hull rigidity you get is cheaper than separate mods to a plastic hull. But that seemed the easy way out...

[Davarama]

Yes, metal hull with stock tensioner, not really familiar with Taigen tensioner but if its anything like the Tamiya ones I'll be getting a Hentec!

The taigen panther tensioners like the tamiya tiger (not king tiger which is aweful). Your mileage may vary but I quite like this system on my tanks with it.

Good to know, cheers.
