The Panther was equipped with The vehicle was equipped with 16 rubber-tired road wheels. These were designed as eight nested double road wheels, mounted on swing arms and connected to a damped double torsion bar suspension.

Each road wheel assembly consisted of an inner and an outer road wheel with identical, mirror-image wheel discs. The rubber tires were clamped between the wheel discs and removable rim rings, allowing for easy replacement.

The rim rings of the inner road wheels had a protective collar to shield them from the track guide teeth. The wheel discs were secured to the hubs using retaining rings. Two hub types were used, one for standard and one for reinforced swing arms.

This kit contains all the components for one side of the vehicle and is designed to depict realistic maintenance and repair scenes.
