I've had three KV-1s over the last year or so and with each one the left side is lower than the right. Looking t it from behind, the track is lower and the tank is on an angle.I'll post a picture so you get a better idea. Just wondering if anyone knows a fix for this problem.

Hi Kiplin1995, :~
I had a problem with my Tiger 1 so I altered the springs. Unfortunately I did not document it ............BUT.....Here is a KV1 Thread that shows exactly what to do... :D
http://www.rctankwarfare.co.uk/forums/v ... kv1#p71684" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Its the 12th post down on Page 2.
Bascically it involves figuring out which way the spring is 'Wound up' and then drilling another hole 90 degrees further round and then moving the stationary anchor part of the spring to this hole and then refitting the suspension arms, this adds more tension to the spring and so it pushes down harder and will raise the tank.
I hope that this helps

A quick note fellas - you don't need to drill any extra holes in the KV , they're there already :D
