Hmmm odd! We have buyers saying it works properly, the maker saying they do by the uk seller saying they don't. Wonder if Haya has got some early ones before it was sorted

Suspension most certainly compresses both shocks plus pivots. Mine is new production that I picked up Saturday at Hooben's workshop here in Hangzhou.

I test fit a set of IMPACT T26 tracks to mine last night but am waiting to get metal drive wheels since dare not attempt anything except a short test run.

Just curious, are the tires made of rubber?

Xiaoshan,
Good morning,
Any news on when the new production types will be available in the U.S.? Also, kit form or complete RTR? Thank you in advance,
regards,
Painless

No idea when they'll hit the States & doubt they'll be offered as a kit. Didn't ask but its designed for factory assembly as you'd expect with any HL products.

Regarding wheels, they're are all plastic. Perhaps MATO or someone else will noticed & see an opening for parts.
