Asiatam lower hull

[Saxondog]

Well I'm at 12lb.with my latest barrel/recoil set-up and my hull sets about right to me.Also I was thinking the more we drive the lower they are likely to sit.SAX

Here you go with metal wheels , metal idlers , metal drive sprockets .

Thank-you Jimmy,it seems like everybody has about the same wheel hieght.And i'm still thinking that as we drive and things lossen up that the wheels will settle some what.I think I will take a height measurement,and after say 5hours run time re-check and see if the control arms have settled some.But since I will not be running for at least a week perhaps someone else could report on this.SAX

I forgot to mention that My tiger has metal tracks, idlers and road wheels as well

OK,So it seems that the wheel height issue is the same for all,and in time if we run the wheels off so to speak I believe the rods will loosen up and the tanks will settle.Next week I should be up and running and will check height over a period of 3-5 hours of run time.SAX

here is a pretty good site with lot pf pictures and information on the Tiger 1
http://www.alanhamby.com/tiger.html
which is where I got the picture of the side shot of the Tiger showing the road wheels

Great site,have been over every aspect of that site.Many great pictures even the assembly line pic are great.But if we look the idler wheel are in line with the road wheel or really close.So the Asiatam hulls idler wheels are just to high.I will run the wheels off my tank next week and see how much it settles.SAX

same problem tank  is too high with asiatam hull...what is the best solution?

[Saxondog]

Has anyone tried lossening the coupling screw and rotating the arms?SAX

Looks like it could be that they made the arms to short or they drilled the mounting hole to high has anyone put this idler on the HL lower hull and is it to high now if you have show picks so we can see if there is a difference .
