Hi, I have the plastic lower hull, yes, but I have tried the extra link on each side shortly after I got the tank, but, for me at least, it seemed too baggy, but maybe once I have a better set of gearboxes I will give it another goMax-U52 wrote:Definitely the 4 shaft ball bearing steel gearboxes. I put those in my Panther G and my King Tiger (and all my Tigers, and the PzIV, and everywhere else I can fit them) and it made a noticeable difference in both. As for electronics, I have an IBU2 in my Jagdpanther, but i have an Asp on the way that's slated for the new Panther F that I don't have yet, so I'm thinking about putting the Asp in the Panther G until the F comes out.
Do you still have the Taigen lower hull or the metal lower like they sell at rctank.de? My G is the plastic hull, but it's one of my best running tanks. Here's a video from when i first put four shaft GBs in it. I have an extra track link on each side, but it just seems to run better that way. I know I need to eventually get a hentec for it so I can properly adjust the tracks, but til then it seems to run just great the way it is.
Painless, what colour paint did you use for those track hangers?PainlessWolf wrote:Good afternoon,
Axels is a great idea as is RCtanks.DE for accessories for your Taigen Panther G. Upgraded tow cable mounts and spare track mounts, mantlet kits and decals for the extinguisher are just the start. Good luck and following along:

Sorry for the triple post, I was having trouble posting and this way it worked aha Anyway, Ive seen a few gearboxes on ForgeBear's eBay site, Walterson 5:1 and Mato 4:1, I really don't know which would be best, I'm really after that slow tank movement, and a good amount of torque at low speed to get up inclines, my stock 3:1's struggle on small incline on the lawnmagman wrote:For Panther Upgrades in the UK use Forgebear Tanks: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/forgebear?_trk ... 7675.l2563
The best in the UK.
Painless, I've just come across your thread of your Panther build, it is excellent, and some good ideas I might incorporate! But, if you do excuse my laziness, I'm certain our stock paint job is very similar in colour, was wondering what other paints you had handy to paint all the parts you added?PainlessWolf wrote:FHS,
Good afternoon. I used Model Masters enamel paint #2095 : Panzer Dunkelgelb 1943.
