That would seem to be the problem,but why would asiatam market different torsion bars?I mean is it there solution to a problem but they don't state what the reason for the softer as they say are for? If you look taking this hull apart is no simple task,I will try running and post any drop,we can always take the hull apart as that's what most of us do anyway.

Well this is my Asiatam hull, the rear idlers are on their 'slackest' setting, and I had to remove track links to get the unwanted slack out of them.

The metal tracks seem to stretch a lot with very little use. The problem was that if I took up the slack with the idler adjuster it pulled the rear idler higher, the only solution was to shorten the tracks and really tighten the adjuster screws down to their minimum setting.

Thx Sax for the positive feedback ;D

Well it is a nice initiative from Asiatam to provide this type of suspension system, but a pity that they didnt do it "all the way"

Regards
