Newbie to RC tanks here, recently got a pro version Henglong panther ausf G with metal drive sprockets, tracks and idlers for my birthday.
My goal is to upgrade this tank with as many little neat features and details as I can to make my silly little ponta as accurate as possible to how it would look. I look forward to learning about and discussing how to implement these Upgrades to make my vision come to life.
Thank you, kind strangers for taking the time to read this and have a wonderful day! >w<

England is the country England.
Great Britian is England, Scotland, and Wales.
The United Kingdom is Great Britian + Northern Ireland.
Do I have it right?

Greetings, TechnotheTigard! The question about where you are in the world is actually well-intended. Given a rough idea, we can help you find a dealer or even a chance at someone who might be able to help with the Tiger I. Me? I am from the U.S., Southern Wisconsin---probably too far away to be of any help. Keep us informed, as we hope you can work it out and become addicted like the rest of us. :haha:

Read the forum on things to fix for your panther.

some low hangers:

the antenna needs to be moved. port side behind the turret.

the 4 engine cover hooks face outward.

the "triangle" engine stop needs moving ( but not by much ).

Welcome from Ontario, Canada! Loads of reference books on the panther and check out the builds section for the Panther on here. You'll find some masterbuilders' work and their approaches to the fine details.
