Post by BarryC »

If anyone by chance would have a metal road wheel suspension/swing arm for the Heng Long M1A2 I'm in need of one.

Long story! 8O

TIA

:haha: I was modifying it to accept a Tamiya road wheel axle but alias no go! I gave it a quality try but it would have been too weak at the axle to suspension arm attach point. Bummer! :thumbdown:

I was attempting it so I could use the much. much better detailed Tamiya Road Wheels. Now I will be converting the Tamiya chassis and Heng Long lower hull to mate as well as installing HL Gearboxes. :crazy:

I've looked high and low, I can't even find a set of arms for sale. Only a complete wheel set with them.

Unless Dave at forgebear or Andrew at Haya can help, even for a set of arms. It may be worth giving them a try.

Well, it looks like Andrew is away and not trading at the moment :(

Hey Mick,

I've found a "set" at RC Tank.de but with shipping the set cost is nearly $80 US, way too much for the one I need. Taigen Tanks USA had them in pairs but they are Sold Out. :(

I'll just keep hoping. :D

That's a real shame Barry.
After my little quip about making one, I took a closer look at one, not just a simple filing job sadly.
Did you contact Taigen tanks by email, you never know, they may have an odd one collecting dust.

Good luck, I hope you have some success.

That's awesome Barry :thumbup:
But I don't deserve the thanks, I failed.
However, I am more than a little annoyed with Google for not offering me up that Ali Express set >:<
I tried to help because you seemed to be getting desperate with all your bumping :haha:

So, hat's off to Mr MichaelC, the hero of the hour :thumbup: :clap:
