Hi, I have had my Taigen Panther G for 12 months near, and although i have done some on the surface work, and when I say work, i mean using a tamiya mud stick and weathering set, to a newbie level ahah Anyway, I want some under the hood upgrades now, gearboxes etc etc Any of you guys have any suggestions as to what gearboxes to go for and other upgrades worth doing? Also does anyone know of where I can buy scale antenna for the tank?

thanks in advance gang!

I've put an IBU2 in mine for the better control and sounds. Aber makes a nice tapered metal antenna for German armor.

Hi, The best advise I can offer is that you go to -
www.axels-modellbau-shop.de
You will find an aerial and an awful lot more. a top dealer with a speedy turn round in your order.

Agree put some nice 4:1 gearboxes in with the upgraded motors there. I have Promax 480 motors but not necessary. I like TBS/BARC for sound and tank control plus ability to make and load sound files but lots of good systems out there!

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:

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.

If yours Is not a 2.4 MHz I have that and set,of HENGLONG pro metal Gearboxs for sale for a panther G

One bit of advice..............purchase the hull spare track holders, trust me

Have you got a link for those? I've been looking for quite some time, both for the G and the Jagdpanther.

Hi Gary, AXELs are selling rear spare track holders for the Panther "G" and the Jagd Panther.
