twisted suspension arms

[LongGoneJohn]

Hi, I was just wondering if there's a way to correct what looks like the suspension arms twisting under pressure on a stock plastic hl tiger? It's causing the roadwheels on one side to sit so far out they drag the tracks off of the sprocket, and I can't tighten the track anymore. Cheers

Are they the "old" suspension fittings i.e. the arms are screwed into plastic lugs on the moulded body or the newer version where they screw into a metal strip running along the inside of the body, if the former the lugs can split allowing the suspension to drop which sounds like your problem.
The solution in that case is to fit reinforced suspension arm mountings, a metal bar with metal lugs fitted.
Asiatam make a set which Welsh Dragon can supply and I have used them successfully on one of my tigers.
Hope that helps.

No, should've said its the newer version with the metal strip inside. Thanks for the suggestion though jonger mate

In that case it must be the plastic suspension arms - Asiatam also make replacements in metal to go with their strengtheners, not sure if they fit the standard metal strip set up as they use their own fixings, and need new wheel bolts (comes as a kit) but they do go a treat with their strengtheners as that's what I used on mine.
A lot cheaper than a whole new Asiatam hull.
