Certainly all my PZ4s have them,
Easy fit and very effective,
Got mine from Dom @ http://www.rctank.de/
Pretty sure Dave can get them for you if you need them

Before I got banned, I had asked the question about Panzer IV adjusters, and I'm sure you were one of the members that replied stating only available for Panzer III's, however, that would have been back in 2017/18.

Mick you have my absolute promise that I would never have said that Track Tensioners were not available for the Panzer 4,
What I may have said is not to buy a particular adjuster because it is weak and ineffective but get the right one you won't be sorry.
I bought my first Heng Long Panzer 4 in 2012 and fitted track adjusters within weeks and it is a practice I continue to this day and along with gearbox output shaft bearings I would recommend that everyone does the same

Hmmm, unless it was just Taigen that didn't do them, I had purchased a winter Taigen Panzer IV around the time I first joined here, the sales pitch stated it had track adjusters, but it didn't, and they definitely didn't have them on their 4's, only the 3's, which I had also purchased the chassis of.
I probably got confused

Mick I think there is an element of confusion here (Surprise surprise) some Taigen/Torro and Heng Long models do have track tensioners built in but most do not and it is up to you to buy aftermarket adjusters for your particular Tank.

The deed is done.. ordered all the bits for a Taigen Metal Edition Panzer III from Dave at Forgebear. Great advice and help from Dave, over the moon with the service.

I decided on getting all the bits seperate rather than RTR as it's about time I built one. The parts should be here in the next few days, so just deciding on colour scheme but thinking DAK.

Obviously it's for my daughter, but ahem... you know. This hobby is getting addictive...

I was looking at a PzIII on that site, trusted dealer, member here?

Dominik is very much a trusted dealer although he is not a member of this Forum,
Being a German dealer there are certain restraints on buying from him,
A minimum of £160 has to be spent before he will sell to anyone in the UK,
Not his fault, blame the EU or Boris, Take your pick

Um, who's the tank for

It’s for me.. err, I mean my daughter…

Hi Go for the panzer3 or stug3 ,the panzer4 dose not run well on grass it snags on the Heng Long suspension. Loads of upgrades for panzer 3 or stug . If you want an allied tank go for the Sherman.

Decided on a Taigen Metal Edition Panzer III from Dave at Forgebear. Just deciding what colour scheme to do it, thinking about DAK, but this was suggested to me.

“The General “ would be proud of you for that !
