hi all i have had a heng long panther for a while now it has metal tracks and sprockets and asiatam
idlers and tensioner however i cant seem to get the suspension right i clocked the springs on the front and rear roadwheels but that didnt work so i clocked them all but it still doesnt want to sit right it doesnt rise back up if you push it down does anyone know a cheap fix?
will the stronger springs work? :S

I am running full metal lower gear and have no issues with clocking the front and rear springs only..

I got some stronger springs for my tiger1 but ended up getting the Asiatam hull so I never used them there still in the packet! Even got the metal suspension arms I wonder if the springs are the same as the the panthers?? :wtf:

springs are different. The tiger is bent outward and is a wider ring with the tab part in a different spot. The Panther is a small diameter flat and the tab is more in line with the extension part of the spring.
The heavier springs are way better than stock, clocked or not
