Heng long CANT be beaten on these 1:16 scale tanks. My panther g pro hasn't thrown a single track or gave me a bit of bother. Nice wide solid metal tracks. Paintjob and it's glorious. Additional 1:16 scale resin soldiers finishes it off. We just need the Heng long yagtiger again

I added plastic running antennas to make my Panther look much more realistic, overall. NOW it does- Oh Yeah!! I did a few personal little changes on my tank. The Panther looks really COOL now! My only complaint is this: The left tack is too loose. I tried to properly adjust the track w/o breaking the entire tank- that was a tough task. The front sprockets are NOT in the proper slots in the track. presently.. GRRRRR!! I still am working on getting the left track properly adjusted, The rear adjustment screw is ultra tough to even turn. Trying to NOT break my brand-new, Panther Tank.. Once this is dealt with properly - ALL is DONE on my Panther... 100%!!! Overall I am very pleased with the Panther G Tank I purchased from MotionRC... HengLong is an excellent product. The batteries last a good time before recharging. My hassle: The loose left track.. It will be solved!!! The price: I was OK with paying $219.00 for the Professional Version of this Panther Tank. Not too expensive overall. I am sticking with the HengLong products, because the prices are quite reasonable. I have been a modeler for many a year. My last projects- G Scale Trains (indoor/outdoor) trains. That was a lot of fun! Now I am working RC Tanks. The Panther Tank is worth it. But watch out for the loose tracks..... It can be frustrating....

Loose Tracks
Tracks too loose out of the box. Makes some motions sluggish and turns rather "jumpy". Over all, the tank is quite fine.
