Hi after finally getting my bridge layer to work, I have used the absolute minnimum weight material to build with but the hull sits to low at the front does anyone know of an upgraded spring that will fit this suspencion setup? I have had 1 suggestion to start again with a metal hull but would rather come up with another alternative than junk 18 months work.
Any idea's would be very grateful.

Hi Denzil

It is possible to add more tension to the springs. The spring is a cool with a pin which then goes into the chassis. By drilling another small hole 180degrees from the original hole you then put the pin in new hole and in doing so added an extra half turn on tension to the spring.

Bit difficult to explain but if Blimp has a topic on his kv1 build where he did it with some pictures. Which probably better than my explanation.

Thanks Ian.
I have read the link and your right! a picture paints a thousand words I going to try this mod first by going a quarter turn on all the axles springs and then if needed a further quarter on the front 2 axle springs. Forgebear also has some shock absorbers/Springs for the panzer that I might try also on the front 2 axles as additional springing.
