hi

Yes, thay are aviable seperatly, but at the moment the shafts of the panther suspension dont fits well becaus eof the molding prozes. the hole inside is now alidel bit to big so mounting the shafts exatly becomes a lidel triky :-(.
Best way at the moment to get it running well, put the into a drill machin and put some balbearings in.
so at teh moment i only able to over it as a selfmade roadweel kit.

Good Morning,
Chris, I just noticed that the suspension arm were blades. Any benefit to that instead of using round arms? It really is turning out nicely!

Good Afternoon,
Oh no, just the arm vs the blade benefits, if any?

Chris,
Sorry to be so obtuse. Which is better in your opinion, an arm or blade suspension, taking into consideration, weight, flexibility and how long it will retain spring tension?

hi

now i get you :-)

you mean that maybe a corlais suspension would be better than the blade suspension.

mmh, thats a special question. technickaly its surly works better, but i think its hard to see a diverence if you look at a runing tank. but thats everyone would see diverent.
