Steves Panther A

I must agree Steve those tracks look very good and just like the real thing, so what's the cost of a set compared to the Armortek, are we going to have lots of Armortek Panther track sets coming up for sale to help offset the cost?

Regards Phil.

Hi Phil
I can't say how much as the tracks were a gift from Vincent for building the Elefants for him.
One thing I can say is that they would not be cheap so don't expect a flood of Armortek tracks.

The tracks look awesome! Looks like they skin the paint off the wheels easily as well! These fit on the Sprocket with no modifications (sorry if that is a rehashed question).

Hi Bob
I have had to add a 1.5mm shim to the sprockets, not to difficult to do and makes the fit much better.

It's been a while since my last post but I have not been idle on the panther. All the hull Zimmerit has now been added and base coated with TS3. Tool racks completed and mounted plus the cleaning rod stowage tube has been made and mounted.

Suburb work Steve, one of the best out there!
There is somthing about the A that really hits the spot, far more interesting than a G me thinks.

I agree with Phil - Super job. Those tools and tracks are awesome looking! This is going to be an excellent build.

I have got to the point of installing the option packs and all is going well with the exception of the lights. I have Steve Winstones head light and tail light and need to power these from one of the option pack modules (latest versions). Can someone tell me where to take the power supply from ?

Hello Steve,

I have the same question about the lights and
where to connect the MG guns.

best regards Yves

Hi Yves
I have had a reply from Kian and he suggested 2 options.
1. The lights run on 12volts, so take a supply from 1 battery only via a rc switch then wire the lights in parallel, or
2, wire the lights in series and use the spare switched supply on the motion pack, this can be controlled via you tx.
I am going to use the spare switched supply which seems to work fine.
Hope this is of help
Regards
Steve

Thanks steve,

Is this also working for the MG guns ?
Because i need a extra connection for my MG, or can you put both lights and mg on the extra suply?
Best regards Yves

[Steve Norris]

Yves,
Use LED output no4 on the audio module for the MG, Then when you play the MG firing sound the MG will flash.
