Yup, I got my Panther on Friday. It is pretty quick, although I didnt get much time to play with it. I tried the Panther motor in my Zip and it was pretty slow. I think a Zip would need a dual battery or a PCB workover to get the Panther motor running. However, the yellow NOS motor works quite well in the Panther.
You are right, the steering is kind funky, but its not bad, and I think it could be made better with a little work. the bodys are really nice. I got a grey Mercedes CL-something and it came with a bunch of little stickers already on the body! Very nice looking! I also got the 27 MHZ version, and it has ok range, not too bad, but not too good. My 49MHZ Zip can probably go twice as far as the Panther before it starts to stutter.
Overall, the Panther is a nice car, it seems fairly well built, and its pretty quick. It wont be outhandling a Zip in the twisties any time soon, however.
Looks: A+
Speed: B
Handling: B-C
