Pantiger? All you have to do these days, is to state that it IDENTIFIES as a Tiger, and, well, ...abracadabra it IS a Tiger. No worries. :D Humans, and inanimate objects, can be anything they please these days, apparently. :thumbup:

Yep, Ole 43RR has a "Billy Connolly" fighting to get out !!!
Pantigers are actually very handy for conversion parts donation for Panther G's turning into 'A's, to a degree that is cheaper than buying the specific bits from well known suppliers overseas :/

Well again thank you for replies . I am really wanting to know with the H/L that I am changing to 2.4 MHz or something like that but it's the H/L own brand n headset . I don't know if iam supposed to remove the board with receiver aerial n smoke switch with old crystal. If not what Chanel do I plug into. I am fitting the light up metal tiger gun and fittings. Also the volume wire does that get reconnected ?? I've upgraded speaker which has its own plug . I hate electrics on cars not alone models. :headbang:

Well as you can see this is as far as I am now . I have put in previous message asking help and answers from now on . It has the smoker upgrade and pump the new mic. I have the metal tracks here but just waiting for idler and drive sprocket from china. That's only because I haven't seen anyone else on auction sites here . It's a con you think your paying the price advertised but then they put tax on and finally postage from china. I need to get nitro for my 1/10 car.

You'll need to remove the control board, receiver etc but then work out which wires do what. I think some of the turret wires are different between versions, but don't know which.

Why did you connected motors to elevation and turret rotation ports?

Because I didn't get instructions with it plus I don't know what I am doing and that's why I am on here asking .

You are doing fine. Those were the instructions I was looking for to post. That should go along way to get you started/running. I tend to hook up the basics first, track motors and turret spin and elevation. Then I work on the systems that matter to me. I ommit the airsoft and almost none of my tanks have lights. They all have sound but only a couple have smokers.

As commonly stated, it is your tank build it as you wish.
