Heng Long Challenger Recoil ideas

[MichaelC]

Got this cheapo plastic siphon from the local general store and will give it a go. The part circled is the piece I am going to use, seems to be the right shape and it is quite loose for the recoiling.

Michael, take a look at the boots that are used for rc boat steering linkage as it passes through the hull. The boots I'm speaking of are used to keep water out of the hull and inclose the steering linkage. Just a thought.

Thanks jtracks.......... I think my $6 version is working out okay and will see how long it last. Here it is.......

BarryC, I might retro fit this to my M48A3. Let me know if you want one and I can pick one up, cut it up and send it to you. I am very happy with the effect.

It looks like it is working well.

That looks very good MichealC , I think I will be getting that siphon part for my Chally cheers for the info!

Thanks guys. I would probably make it a little tighter if I ever take it apart again. Its just a matter of gluing the inner BB barrel at the desire compression and let it dry. Looking at the Heng Long barrel, the ribbed part looks totally compressed and in full recoil.

Hi all

Quick reply to this one ..my local pound shop Inn the UK

[MichaelC]

I paid $6 Cdn for mine which is like 3 pounds..........

Still probably like the best $6 I ever spent on tank parts.
