Hey dude just one question,I assume the sprockets are drilled to work with the taigen 8.06mm drive shafts and not the henglong 7.99mm ones? Or do they require abit of dremmeling!

No they are standard H/L size 7.99mm, but easy enough to make them fit. As you say a little bit of dremel work. Mine are on Taigen 3-1 gearboxes.
ah well that's a shame! Dremmel time it will be!

Hi Scalawag,

I'm in the process of building up my Challenger 2, I've purchased the running gear set from DKLM and wondered what your thoughts are on gluing the metal shock absorber (I think that's what it is) to the tank chassis. Bolting it all in place looks secure enough but I always like a second opinion... Great build by the way- it's inspired me to detail up my tank!

Thanks

Iron Duke
