Hey Mark....if you run into trouble with the suspension...if you want to keep your costs low...just remember that trick I told you about...your hull will be stronger than any aftermarket out there...for several reasons I won't speak of...because you know that is top secret stuff right .............

I will see if I have some metal JagdPantehr suspension arms lying around for you. Just in case if you want an all singing all dancing one I have one for you when you are ready......

JP with the Taigen metal lower and also metal boggies with rubber rims. The Taigen hull will also take the standard HL plastic wheels as well if you are on a budget but the metal boggies are really nice.

So I found a solution to the Panther suspension arm slop issue. I can't take credit for it, the person who though of it is CaptainNemo12 on another forum. The search on Rcuniverse site is "Nates Panther Build". I already pm'ed him for more details on how he did it, if he replies and doesn't like I nicked his photo's I'll take them down and replace em with my own. But the idea is simple-the problem with the Panther susp arms is too much space between the suspension arm pivot holes (either metal or plastic arms) and the pivot bolt. Because of that the arms, and the road wheels, will have a tendency to bow outwards instead of being straight like they should be. I am going to make a short post with the pics, in the how-to section so in case someone else wants to fix the issue, and will find this useful they won't have to dig so much.
