I am building the 1/25 Panther G and noticed it still has the original lower hull where the motor would be mounted and the drive sproket still has internal gears.. I think that if it is motorized, it can probably be converted to R/C also..

I have the Panther A and have just completeed the G.The motorization in the A is for flat out running.TO RC this puppy,you may need 2 motors/drivetrains,to power each track seperately.Also the appropriate servos/and reciever and batteries.
There seems to be plenty of room to do it. (++)

ok i was wondering about the jagdpanther i have seen that both the old panther and it both had options for the single motor or the twin 280 motors...I have also been searching for the panther g, my next question is where did you find it at? and thanks for the info

I've got the dual motorization system that makes this kit wire R/C. It would not be too difficult to get an R/C receiver inside with a two channel servo to make it radio controlled.

I built the Acadmy 1/25 Jagdpanther (pics of it are in my profile page) and there was lots of room to make this one R/C. Although this was the older kit I can't see the new one being much different.

Hi guys.

I had a good look at the Panther G a few days ago, but held off buying it until I could find more info on the kit.
A quick google found very little, so I'd apreciate a quick rundown from anyone who has built it.
How does it build up? Any glaring mistakes or omissions in the kit?
It looked decent for the price but the " It has motor holes, so it's a toy" thing put me off. :-)

Thanks
Tim
