Panther Chariot Review
Alright, so you heard about these new panther Chariots, there excellent performance, but are these better than the ZZSE?
When I first looked at the box I said, WTF? Not another crappy clone. The body was not the best, neat but had those stupid stickers on it, like most clones. However, Suntzu said they really kicked ass, so I took out the controller and et her charge. The controller itself is the best 1/64th rc controller I have yet to see. It comfortably fit into my hand and was pretty easy to run the car and charge it. Now for the performance part.
Taking the car off the stand I took a better look at the chassis. Very simialr to the zz, almost exactly. The hubs however were nice alloys, but the front were bit size. I took the car for a run on my track. GEEZE! This car went right over one of my barriers! These things are a heck of alot faster than my zzse or any of my zz's. I haven't clocked it yet but from comparison I would say top speed STOCK is 8-10mph. Obviously this car was too fast for my 1/64th track. SO I took it into my garage. Overall in a larger space you really get to see this car work. In comparism to the se, the se is nothing. The turns were nice, much better than the zz but still not propo. Nice proportional throttle control which helps with the turns. NO FLIPPING! None whatsoever. With my duel celled zz's and se they flip all the time without flipping bars. With the chariot, none. The speed was excellent, the handling was great, and the body isn't have bad. However, a larger track is what really brings out the best in this car. On the little ones, the se would definitly dominate. This car is an excellent buy. I would give the Panther an 8.5 out of 10.
Videos comming soon!

Yup, these things are great. Speedy with great range. First thing I did was put Zip bodies on them.

I don't know if you could hold it down on the ground with fets. It would fly!
