Did HL make a Panther before the current G model?

Enquiring minds need to know

hi their,

yes they did, it was a completely innacurate model nd so earn'ed the name the 'pantiger' (it was a panther look alike hull on a tiger hull)

the new panther G is much better, actually a very accurate model i beleive ?

cheers,

Matt

Hi If you are going to buy one make sure it is I.R. version this will make sure it is the new type ,be carefull on ebay there are some dealers selling old ones,recommened you use a dealer you can trust,Dave forgebear wont sell you an old one this is a certainty.

Welcome to the intricate world of RC Tanks.Their are few models that have been as inaccurate as the first Panther/PanTiger.But as suggested if you are in the UK Dave would be a reliabal source for new tank purchases.Their is also a vendor named Steve,Welshdradon models although Steve is more focused on upgraade parts.Also you might consider a post in the Introduce yourself forum,a simple way for members to be aware you have joined.

Hi yes I got my Panther G from Dave . I also have a Pantiger which Ive converted to a Panther A . There is a lot of work involved . You have to compleatly cut the tank up . I had the advantage over others who have braved this conversion because I bourght one of Daves Panther G tops and used the recoiling barrel turret on my A build , I just had to remove the chin and some of the other G features.
