Hello, very nice little car. A friend of mine had one of these back in the 80´s. I had a Turbo Panther. Your´s is driving really slow. It seems like you operate it only at transmitter "low". Did you pull the throttle lever to the max? On the transmitter it says "turbo". You get there, if you pull the lever over a "click" to the max and the car ist getting the real kick forward. Just an idea… good luck :-)

Check my videos with it out, now that you had one back then, it might bring back some good memories. The Panther was my second RC car. My first buggy. Drove it to it’s death back then in 1986 🙂

Use the rest of the functional parts for spare parts or sell it off again without the antenna (somebody else might need an intact front tire or something). That's usually the best approach with these old ones.

Nice! Never tried it myself so I have absolutely no idea! I've heard that all of these toy-grades from back then causes this kind of trouble, but I know that some of the handy (not me) RC enthusiasts got a technique. I hope some of them have or will make a tutorial about it. As soon as I know, I will :-)

I posted it in an RC forum, they thought I was pretty stupid until they realized what they were looking at. I even disassembled the front suspension to try get that off, but didn't see a way that didn't put too much strain on the wheel.

Thanks for watching! I'm not sure what you mean with 'akkus' but it runs on 8 AA batteries yes. It probably was faster back in the days :-)

Radio Controll System It probably would help with other batteries than standard AA, especially if these provide higher voltage (how many mah they provide doesn't really matter for the performance in the beginning) but these cars where designed to run on standard Alkaline and Ni-Cads and I've seen this model (other units) run a lot faster with standard batteries.

I agree 100 % :-) Even for a thirty year old model, it is too slow. Much too slow. It was probably faster in the 1980s when motor etc. was brand new. Thanks for watching!
