Anybody have Taigen Metal Panther F or G?

[MichaelC]

I will once I put in new electronics.......... I powered it up just to test it and don't want to shoot a video with stock electronics. Should be a straight swap.

How long did it take to arrive from Germany?

Thank you, Michael. She looks just great. How well do you think she'll do as an IR battle tank? Will she hold up to the pounding or do you think it's too heavy for a good battle tank? I was thinking about using this as a platform for a tank made for Danville, but I keep hearing the best tanks there have plastic tracks and are rather light weight. I was thinking about an Asp or an IBU3 for the electronics. I doubt I'll make it to Danville before '17. Any thoughts?

3 weeks but over the holidays, so I think it would have only be two weeks normally. It left rctank.de on the 12th of December and I just got it today. It sat in Germany over Christmas, and then sat in Canada over the New Year.

Thanks Michael. My Panther G from rctank.de took six weeks to the US.

Wow....... I bought lots from them and it never takes more than 3 weeks. This would be the longest I would say. Was the delay in Germany or in the US ? Maybe it is not air from the east coast to the west coast ?

Toronto is a major hub in the east for Canada so I am lucky that way.

I guess that Christmas could have delayed things a bit too.

Yeah, parts from him take about 2-21/2 weeks. I've purchased two tanks from him and they were both at six weeks. The delay seemed to be in Germany. When they cleared customs in New York, I had them in three days.

Here in the states the longest delay is usually customs. New York is actually pretty quick compared to Chicago. I've had stuff sit in Chicago for as long as three weeks. Once they release it I'll have it in three days.

Michael,

What do you like about the Taigen recoil as opposed to others?
