that is a bit of a headache, i'm surprised no one does metal suspension arms for the bulldog. looking at your pic's rob, the panzer3 metal shocks do look like they will fit with a bit of a rework, have you got a good pic' of a suspension arm?, i have something in mind

i know what your gonna say i think ::) PZ3 arms
the main problem is getting the dogs wheels off as they are glued on but ive got a method off removal good old WD40 and a lot of patience :o :o

got the adjustable idlers finished and tested and they seem to do the job loads of driving  ;D ;D ;D

well the pz3 route is 1 idea, but the main idea i had was to make some in metal, i wanted to see the 'dogs suspension arms so i could see how difficult it would be to make a mold from them, i can make molds, but nothing to complicated

well i got a spare chassis so i could pull one off and let you see
if i had a tig welder could of made some that way or even silver soldering

your mold idea sounds do-able but as you say might be difficult

i think its worth a go rob, especially as no one seems to make them, we could make a few pence off of it if it works
