I must admit I am nervous, I have never bought anything like this before. It really is a work of art , the build quality is fantastic, at least to my eyes lol. It moves on one stick control now and has no sound card. My goal is a sound card, smoker , 2 stick control. and I will be happy. Not bothered about recoil or shooting as long as it makes a boom noise :)
I have always wanted a 1/6 rc however having a static 1/6 Panzer IV,
I can tell you it’s huge ! The 1/10 is big and I can still lift it in and out of my truck.
So I think it will get lots more use as I can easily shuttle it about to all the local parks Image extra parts and the like will be much harder to find. So any tips or links , throw them my way please Image

I really like it. Had a chance to buy a Maier panther a few years ago and never did. I've regretted that move. Such a solid and wonderful tank. Great size to handle and move.
Tanks alot.... :wave:

Thanks Will. It does indeed sound the part even without a sound card, the chain and track sound cool!

Today I took delivery of my new 1/10 Jagdpanther. It’s quite amazing. I will take some better pictures soon. I will also have many questions for you guys on how to improve its electrics, I am thinking IBU3 ?
And special thanks to my wife who paid for the majority of the beast !

Thanks it is quite an amazing machine. The only thing I think
Would really make it stand out would be metal tracks but that is like $1200 so not any time soon lol !

A few more photos of the inside of the tank. If anyone has any experience with this type of tank i would love to hear your thought and will need advice in the future. Cheers
