I got my panther in the mail and was mad to find that it wasn't steering correctly. It would go forward and backward, but the turns were horrible, and it wouldn't do anything for the super spin. It would try, but couldn't move hardly at all. So I tried lubing the gears, running in the motor, soldering out the motor and running it in and got nothing. Then I stumbled on the problem.
One of my three wheels in the center (the removable ones) was way too tight against it's axle. It would barely spin. I tried taking off that wheel and everything was fixed. So I bored out the hole with a teeny tiny flat head screw driver until it spun without catching and all my troubles were fixed.
I'm posting this because I know others have had problems they couldn't fix, and this is easy to over look. I hope it helps someone. Jay
