Being that neither has been released it's hard to say Merlin...there are photos of the Mato and a video of the Taigen...but no specs on them ;)
Here's the video for the Taigen...looks really good

Here's the thread for the Mato Sherman and the variants that will also enter the market

This is a picture of what Schumo used to have available

Not sure if it is OOP...but they are certainly pretty hard to find... Welsh Dragon used to list them... I think they have since removed them from their product list
Too bad... because with all the Shermans that are now coming out...those things would be in High demand....especially since they are all metal..and far superior to the Tamiya plastic units

You're telling me Merlin.... there are so many chassis out there...those schumos must have gave Tamiya a lot of grief

FYI, it's true, only the springs in that picture are the Schumo part. Also, the bolts holding that suspension together are Schumo parts as well. Additonally the metal oil reservior on the shock are Shumo as well. These are all different kits from Schumo assembled on a Tamiya suspension. The Tamiya has regular philips screws instead of those better looking bolts.

Even more FYI, those springs are VERY EXPENSIVE selling at about 67 Euro or 85 USD not counting the ultra expensive German shipping.

This is a picture of the whole package, that's all you get. The rest is Tamiya.

I have only ever know Schumo to produce the springs.

Axels still have them

The only way I am aware to get a complete HVSS suspension is via the Tamiya route
