2025 ARMORTEK KIT SURVEY

Over the last few years we have brought out a whole series of kits as a direct result of your feedback - kits like the Pershing, JagdPanther, Hetzer, Leopard 2A4, and more recently the Sd Kfz 7, 88mm Flak 36 and the upcoming Challenger 2.

So, in keeping with what has become and annual tradition, here is your opportunity to once again influence our future production plans.

We have added in some "guide pricing" next to the names of the models. This is a rough estimate of the price at the current rates.

Thanks in advance for your input and we look forward to the results.

Futaba T8J charger

Post by Chris Hall »

Another question relating to the Panther which I look after but which is not mine ... :wink:

It came with a Futaba T8J transmitter unit (2.4 Ghz, S FHSS, 8 Channel), but without a charger. The internal battery pack says "Turnigy 4.0 4000mAh 2S 7.4v Transmitter pack".

Can anyone tell me the correct charger, and the best place to get one (in the UK) ? I've searched t'interweb without success, and I am a numpty in these matters ..... :oops:

Thanks, in hope,

Chris

Does it say NiCAD, NiMH or LiPo on it anywhere ?

From a quick Google it looks as though it should be a NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) battery, so any charger which will charge NiMH at 7.4V should be fine.

I can't see any mention of the particular type, so I'll try it with my Futaba charger and hope it works !

All the best,
