hi clive
have used them before, but wasnt that great
![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
i like servos with a servo speed controller on it, been trying to find one for antonys panther, but like looking for gold
![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
wish i could find the same one i have on my tiger, just plugs inline on the servo leads, and cost me £4 on ebay
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
bargain.
the more i work on this panther, the more i want one

Lo Richie
That controller sounds interesting, any more info on it?, been working on my own Panther for the past week, doing a lot of mods to the deck etc and just been appyling texture to the plates, looks good so far. another couple of weeks and i,ll be fitting the suspension and wheels i hope. It certainly is a very nice piece of kit i was lucky getting this one, got a really cool paint scheme in mind have'nt seen another anyways it,s going to take some doing,

hi Clive
No luck on the speed controllers yet. Still hunting.
The panther, its a very nice model. I'm falling in love with Antony's tank.
Moving stuff around inside of it, so its easy access from the back hatch. Also moved the smoker so its easy maintenence. I'll show you on Sunday.

Hi Richie,
I know where I'll be meeting on Sunday
Good question about where were going to run the tanks without Paul M there as I don't think any of us have seen either of the new locations. Any ideas Richie, Clive, Steve or Paul W
Thanks Antony

Antony, Clive Paul and Richie.
I have mailed Leighton hall for you and told them that you "might" go to the new area they have suggested this Sunday to be honest i would not bother with it, but its up to you, if 4 of you go by the time you have parked up most of the space is gone and the piles of soil are really just spoil and waste left over from jobs at the hall its really just a dumping ground
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
.
But if you want to try it go up the same way you would if you had gone from my house along past the stables and just befor the sharp right hand turn you will see a gate on your left go through this and thats it, you are parked in the area... the lane that leads away through the woods is not part of the plan its a public footpath, the area in the woods that we can use is the bit directly behind the piles of waste
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
.
If you want to go to Hest bank thats real easy just go to the level crossings at Hest bank onto the beach road to your right past the cafe and along as far as the road goes until your path is blocked by boulders the concil put there but there is limited parking for you.
Hope this helps you out, can't really do any more.
Cheers Paul

Thanks Antony

Hi Antony.
Not a problem mate. Don't worry about your 250 its chewing no grass here just all ready to go when your parts land.

Thanks Paul for the directions, i knew it was around there somwhere, how you coming on the the shermans controllers, i have one that needs repairing but was told by Electronize they've had to put the charge up tp £25 so not really worth it, better of buying new i think.
