Info road wheels metal tiger1 torro

Post by desmo16 »

Hi everyone, I would like to know how the free wheels of my Taigen Tiger 1 full metal are fixed, now there is one that does not hold up so well. What can I do to solve the problem?

Could you clarity - how the wheels are fixed to the suspension arms or how the suspension arms are fixed to the hull or how the suspension operates?

In practice the roard wheels I speak of those mounted in pairs seem to be kept by a magnet? Today taking a ride with the tank I found a road wheels on the ground, but you can't see any screws that keep them together, it was enough to put it back. I hope I was clearer

I have a Torro Tiger1 with Metal Wheels and they are held in place by stainless steel "HEX" headed screws.
These screw into the lower part of each Suspension arm.
I have never heard of Tank wheels being held in place by Magnets.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Agreed! It sounds as though the retaining bolts were missing. Are they fitted to the other wheel axles? Did you buy this new?

That looks like a bolt has sheared off?

But are they kept under pressure or with a magnet? However for the price of the tank I am very disappointed ... I use it really very little. Taken again on rctank.de

Bolts keep things in place by screwing into a threaded hole. No magnets!

These are late roadwheels. Never seen in life. I guess you should report this to rctank.de.
