just bought a panther chariot...
i dunno. i kinda like my wal mart clone better. theyre about the same price. panthers have better torque but the run times are lousy... i get only 2 minutes while on the wal mart clone i get at least 5.
good thing about it is i can actually change parts in it. so im definately doing a battery upgrade and maybe engine and gears.
also for some of you people out there looking for weird clones i saw some sort of mitsubishi montero clone. i know JTM was selling a body of one but i saw the whole package. 16 bucks at the mall here.
oh well im off to tinker with my panther!

The run time is lousy cos of the poo battery!
Get a ni-mh and give it a couple of charges,then it'll last far longer!
I have a few panthers too.

I've never had a problem with my Panthers. Can't beat the price and all the mods out there work on them.

sure...
ne ways its ok i got my bit finaly. it kicks ass over any clones ive seen. quiet, smooth, last long even longer than my wal mart clone.
i think i might stick with micro sizers and bits. but i'll try an lxx clone just for fun.
