Metal hull (Heng Long) softer suspension

Post by Nic.H »

Hi, i have not been on for a bit...anyhoo, i bought the new suspension arms for my tank, as i found that the one's that are with the metal hull are riding a bit high, and guess what, after stripping the tank down, fitting these new softer arms, the tank sits down like its had complete suspension failure!...aaarrgh!..has anyone else found this, or is it just me?


Regards, Nic

Yep..but its a lot of work...i do think that when you buy a heng long, its not a quick fix...............its a looooong time before its up and running, as i have said before, i think the modells are now taking longer than actually building the real bloody thing!.

Right....i have had enough......i have spent two days now, and that does not include the weekend when i bought the "softer" or "smoother"  suspension arms, fitting, trying to move the tension up one, then it sits like a souped up tiger!.aaargh!, i am going back to the supplied ones, so...........if anyone wants to have these, pm me...but be warned, do not put any weight in the tank.

Ps.....they are going for nought........but i would appreciate a donation to "e goat", or "not forgotten"..
