Heng long suspension springs

Post by Will01Capri »

Who knows where to buy the HENGLONG torsion springs they use in the tanks such as tiger etc?
I need to buy alot in bulk, say 200. I need these for a kit build I am working on.
Many thanks for anywhere these can be purchased

Hi Dave. I knew you had stiffer springs, but what I need is really the standard springs as this is for a lightweight unit.
You don't happen to have a load of used or spare standard springs by any chance?
I could really do with 20 to start with and then eventually get a couple hundred of them!

Thanks

Is this what you are looking for?

They are based in Australia so shipping might be a bit expensive, and at $0.91 AU for a pair that would be 91 bucks for the 200 springs you want. I'm not sure if they have that many in stock though. They also have sets of the 'upgraded springs. Hope that helps :wave:

Remember mate, they have proper currency up there, so thats 41 "quid" .
Still exxy for springs, but im certain that from all the members here, 200 H/L springs is not out of the question.

If you know the spec (size & stiffness) then Aliexpress or a more general supplier will be a better bet for 200.

thanks guys i will measure some up to see, but yeah if there are a spare 200 springs in the RC tank community it means some of my 3d printed artillery pieces can get full working independant suspension ;)

If you have any Herman let me know please as i am desperate to get hold of as many as possible. The number of them will dictate how many i can put to use in my artillery pieces

Are the springs Torsion or Expansion?
www.prime-miniatures.co.uk/
has expansion springs from 0.94 x 4.4mm to 2.2 x 5.0mm in packs of ten @£1.75 to £2 a pack.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:
