Did HL make a Panther before the current G model?

Enquiring minds need to know ;)

hi their,

yes they did, it was a completely innacurate model nd so earn'ed the name the 'pantiger' (it was a panther look alike hull on a tiger hull)

the new panther G is much better, actually a very accurate model i beleive ?

cheers,

Matt

Welcome to the intricate world of RC Tanks.Their are few models that have been as inaccurate as the first Panther/PanTiger.But as suggested if you are in the UK Dave would be a reliabal source for new tank purchases.Their is also a vendor named Steve,Welshdradon models although Steve is more focused on upgraade parts.Also you might consider a post in the Introduce yourself forum,a simple way for members to be aware you have joined.

Hi yes I got my Panther G from Dave . I also have a Pantiger which Ive converted to a Panther A . There is a lot of work involved . You have to compleatly cut the tank up . I had the advantage over others who have braved this conversion because I bourght one of Daves Panther G tops and used the recoiling barrel turret on my A build , I just had to remove the chin and some of the other G features.
