Tracks on!!!

Post by Derek Attree »

Hi Guys
Over the weekend I managed to get the tracks on the Panther and I am supprised that I only needed 85 links per side which is 9 less than stated in the manual and 3 less than Vince mentioned in his original estimate.
After talking to Lee he said he ended up with 84 links.

It runs real sweet on blocks I can't wait to get it on the ground running.

I still have some paint work to do and electronics to fit But it's getting there :lol:

Well done Derek :D :D

For me, fitting the tracks is the point at which these machines really start to look the business :!: :!:

Excellent Derek! Have fun with it's first run.

I agree with Adrian....they really do start looking mean when the tracks are on. So cool!

Kind regards

Tim

ps Mine has 84 per side as well.

Hi Kent
Welcome back :) I have photos of some of my detail parts in the gallery and I have taken some pictures of the base coat paint job but I have not had time to post as yet I will take some pictures with the tracks on and post in the next couple of weeks as I will be traveling again tomorrow.

I have to say it looks like a tank should do now. :D
