Bearings

Post by IanHill »

Hi. I have a HL v7 Panther.. I recently watched a video where they had fitted a bearing set up on their idler wheel and drive sprocket wheels. This was to reduce the loading on the axles.

Is this a part that I can buy and fit or was this a custom job..

Many thanks

Hi, you can get them at rctank.de

https://www.rctank.de/Jagdpanther-Panth ... ngs-799-mm

Just make sure you get the right diameter. I think these are the right ones however they come in three different sizes. Email then and theyll help you get the right ones. Dominique is very helpful.

They are an excellent addition, will stop wear on your gearboxes, highly recommend them.

Cheers

Dave

The version you have is a Tiger lower hull.
Tigers are fickle for throwing tracks too .
