metal hull for panther g

[jeff]

hater,jeffello once again everyone.problem, my wife wants to buy me a metal hull for x-mas,and i would like the one by mato cause i allready have their metal suspension upgrades and dont want to have to buy new roadwheels for asiatam hull,or thats what it looks like to me. where can she purchase one? it's great to have a wife that supports my hobbies. looked at that site in germany but was way expensive, so once again can i pick your brains? gonna get some tri-flo for shooting unit tommaro, havent had timeto fix it yet, gonna do it soon as it is the start of rainy season here in oreeegon. thanx fellas, yak at you-all later,jeff.

Hey jeff, don't think Mato makes a metal hull for the G. The Taigen metal hull comes with mounts that will fit the HL roadwheels so there is no extra pieces needed there.

[tomhugill]

The mato wheels wont fit I don't think, they're also just metal copies of the HL wheels so they have the same inaccurate ridges on them.

[jeff]

okay i thought tiagen hull was mato. so anyone know of any sources in the usa? tiagen website has been down for months.the one in germany seems way expensive, though i saw one for $74.00 plus shipping, now can't find it.ps., still trying to get warranty info from waltersons, but they seem to be ignoring me. bye for now,jeff.

[jeff]

thank you painless, they don't stock it.

Jeff,
Send an email to Gene at Artistic or give him a ring. If it is Taigen, he should be able to get his hands on it. Or so he has told me many times.

Painless

The only people stock it are rctank.de, dklm and forge bear

[jeff]

thanks, am contacting forgebear as i speak. would rather do bussiness with member anyhow.still fencing with hong kong co. about walterson gearboxes, starting to sound like they might play ball. i know they don't want bad reviews, yeah, big deal, but i'am hoping they will replace it like they are saying. all for now, have a good one,jeff

A little bird told me that Taigen only sells the Panther metal hulls to certain vendors and not everyone that carries Taigen stuff apparently as a kind of exclusive. For what it is worth I think Dom at rctank.de has it the lowest you can get (150 euro with metal boggies). For us across the pond there is the exchange but the VAT pretty well takes out the shipping so it is not too bad.
