Incredible timing, I just got two Tamiya Panzer 2's myself. My plan on adding a working suspension set is to 1) remove existing torsion bars with a precise saw 2) sanding/grinding the surface 3) 3D printing the same torsion bars I removed with an elastic filament (that's the key part). In the real Panzer 2, the metal sheets would bend upon rotating the bar (caused the wheel hitting an obstacle), and so will the 3D printed parts. Very decent RC conversion for such a small kit, thank you for your videos.
I'm working on a serial of tutorials, will upload once I'm done. You will need to add suspensions, make wheels/track links workable, add motor and RC control board, etc
What an awesome a Panzer II F RC conversion and video.

(Needless to say, 3D printing the hull part instead of so heavily modifying the original one might be even better)
I will suggest you to use dental wire with hot glue gun as elastic parts. Good luck.
How were you able to convert models into rc? Is there an instruction i can follow?
