Another thing that had me sceptic, was that the only suspension arms they have, are the metal ones, like the Taigen arms... but upon closer inspection, they dont look entirely the same, so it might be a HL version...

Stay true to your gut feelings on their metal parts...they all carry the "label" of the Mato company...but yes you are correct...a lot of it is Taigen...the parts that are generally listed in the HL parts are true HL ...so not much risk there

They have been a good Company to look at for certain parts....but for tanks...I've heard there are sometimes problems in sending those overseas ...there was one poster here that ordered one...it got stopped and sent back twice at customs because of the battery

Another Option would be to contact Forgebear....Dave helped sort that customs Debacle as he is the Mato Rep in the UK...so it could be he can source those springs for you

Have already tried asking him for them, and they are a no-go for his part. Guess I'll try theese or continue to test alternatives

Mato Mart didn't list them before...I checked when you first asked ....it's just recent that I noticed...so I assume it's something new ...I would say those are your best bet...as I really haven't seen others list those separately

Found them here as well http://tankarmy.com/heng-long-tank/prod ... 72u6o86th1

But had the same sceptism about them...

I cant vouch for the springs as I've never used them as yet. But the supplier.............no problem.
Ive got 5 out of 6 tanks from these guys, along with 85% of my parts, all without trouble or regret.
I will be in the market for these after the T-34 build which is next, so I will be keen to see how they work for you

They look the same.....Sorry about the link I provided...it took you to the home page for some reason....but the springs are listed on page 4 of the P IV in the accessories section....Right now the price at Mato is a tad better as theirs is a set of 8...at regular price they are about the same...so it would come down to shipping....I can't really make the decision for you....but what I know for sure is those Taigen springs are terrible

May the Force be with you on this one Arnie
