I did have mounting issues with the right hand gear box,only two holes lined up,also just saw new lighter spring rods for asiatam tiger hull.Looks like the riding high control arm issue has been discovered by Asiatam and their solution is to sell us a new part.They still have not figured out their axles are the wrong length.SAX

Hey Sax, do you have a link for the spring rods, and did you drill extra holes to mount yours?

I have had no problems with the aisatam lower hull apart from the one mounting hole that was in the wrong place, so I took the plate out mounted the gearbox and re drilled and tapped the new hole refitted the plate and boxes

The spring rods are on TANKZONE.COM ,I have not changed mine and don,t know If that is what needs to be done although it seems that Asiatam saw a need to offer them?As far as the one hole I did the same thing as BREL,problem solved.Fully loaded my tank still rides high,My control arms are tapped with shoulder bolts for axles,stock axles did not work and are to weak,tapping the control arms is much better and much stronger-no flex.Also their is a post by FV432 showing his new asiatam hull with late road wheel with the same hieght issues as mine,so what is the solution?SAX
