ST, You are bringing a VERY good point. Your club has evolved into a group of very efficient "tank engineers"... (-; The performance of this Cromwell is stunning!
Now, let's be realistic: Our FOA Panther will never compete with those "donuts" on grass, speed, and turns. The issue will most likely be the tracks, because they are too realistic and will "grab" on the ground/grass. So this tank will be more "close to reality" with a speed of 4-5km/hr (24-30km/hr scale speed, not quite the 32km/hr of the real tank), and close to other performance of the "real tank". I still think there is a market of people who want the "firing capability" mixed with the "semi-accuracy" of the tank. There are not a LOT of club like yours in the world for this scale. It would be "healthy" to provide "on the shelf" products for people all over the world to explore YOUR hobby. I'm contemplating a NEW product right now using our experience with the Panther hull, but more oriented toward the "gamers". The difficult question is always: THE TRACKS? I'm attending the "Weekend of Heroes" in Pennsylvania with a few of our new products in early June 8/9, and if you have a "combat" around those dates, I'm very tempted to bring a Panther and Jagdpanther to "the test"! I would love to learn your rules. Cheers from Utah, Loic On Saturday, April 13, 2013 7:08:18 AM UTC-6, TyngTech wrote: > > Glad to see your making progress with your new product line.
