Few RC driving experiences deliver the power, precision, and performance of a 1/8 scale brushless buggy. Primus, the exclusive vehicle brand of Motion RC, is delighted to introduce the Panther, a model equally at home on the track or at your favorite bash spot. Fully assembled with a factory-decorated body, this beast arrives ready for action after adding your preferred 3S or 4S LiPo pack!
The lengthy list of features on this surprisingly affordable model include a rigid 3mm aluminum chassis plate with molded dirt guards, robust 3mm aluminum shock towers, three planetary sealed fluid-filled differentials with metal bevel and crown gears, steel spur gear, oversized aluminum shocks with threaded adjusters, and lower molded spring perch protectors to keep away dirt and debris. A ZTW Beast 160A ESC provides multiple tuning options, with additional options available via Bluetooth module and ZTW app, or an LCD programming box. The sealed, sensorless 4-pole 2150kV brushless motor delivers massive torque and impressive top speeds, while the injection-molded rear wing provides the necessary aero downforce to keep the Panther planted on the track. A metal-geared 30Kg servo is responsible for the Panther’s razor-sharp steering response, and the reliable 2.4GHz radio system yields interference-free control. In addition, when you’re ready to go Pro, Primus offers a complete assortment of upgrade parts that enhance durability and handling. Click the Upgrades tab above for the complete assortment.

Fully Assembled The 1/8 scale Panther is delivered factory-assembled and ready for transmitter batteries and your choice of 3S or 4S LiPo battery pack. |

Supreme 4WD Performance The Panther features a traditional layout preferred by leading designers, favored for its durability, handling, and ease of tuning and maintenance. The center diff features a protective composite dust cover to keep the spur and pinion gears free from dirt and debris. |
 |
Proven C-Hub Front Suspension Chosen for reliability and durability with minimal sacrifice to the adjustability of pivot-ball style front suspensions, the Panthers front suspension was proven over months of testing. Precision aluminum drive hexes and wheel nuts deliver reliability and precision while headed and threaded lower hinge pins to eliminate the inconvenience of tiny e-clips and deliver the ultimate in security and the confidence to go full send. |
 |
Adjustable Composite Rear Hubs The composite rear hubs offer three different upper arm length settings for a wide range of camber gain and roll center adjustments, while the wheelbase is fully adjustable via lower hinge pin spacers. Aluminum drive hexes and wheel nuts provide precision and are often an expensive option on other models in this price class. |
 |
Oversized Aluminum Shocks The premium handling of the Panther is primarily due to its oversized threaded aluminum shocks. Utilizing an aluminum body, upper and lower caps, and threaded adjuster nuts, the dampers perfectly combine the durability demanded by bashers and the precision required by racers. The composite lower spring perch dirt guards keep the spring aligned and the lower perch free from stones and roost when trailing other vehicles. |
 |
Outstanding Electronics The ZTW-made 160A ESC has forward and reverse, with an included selectable forward-only program for competitive racing. The cooling fan and on/off switch feature a protective guard to eliminate threats from dirt and debris. |
 |
Power to the Panther The sealed, 4-pole sensorless brushless motor delivers impressive power on a wide range of track or bash surfaces, while the adjustable metal motor mount allows for easy gear mesh adjustments. |
 |
Numerous Pro-Level Features The sealed radio box protects and insulates the receiver, while the aluminum servo arm with an adjustable turnbuckle steering bellcrank link offers convenience and improved reliability. A ball bearing-equipped servo saver provides adjustable tension, helpful when transitioning from bashing to racing. Features like these are almost never found in affordable models like the Primus Panther. |
