Brilliant mod Type99! I've just bought my first vstank (T-72) and it's currently stripped down, mid mod.

If you don't mind me adding a few extra additions, I notice that after sawing the parts off, I notice that the tension of the springs would 'pull' the suspension arms, forcing the front and rear wheels to 'move down' when the tank isn't under load.

To rectify this, I wanted to fit a sort of stopper postioned just above wher the part that was sawn off used to be.

So using a 2mm drill in a dremel rotary tool, I drilled at 90deg to the fixing screw into the plastic collars and the suspension arms.

Then I fitted a small 2mm bolt into these holes which sits just proud of the collar (I'm going to post photos to illustrate all of this).

I'm now going to build some layers of plasticard which will be superglued to the inside of the hull just underneath these bolts. When the plasticard is built up to the correct height and the bolt is resting against it under spring tension, all wheels should sit perfectly level whether the tank is under load or not.
