Hey rampa.

><span style=''font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 14px; background-color: rgb(251, 252, 255); ''>Thanks for the tip about the hex heads suspension arm screws in the plastic tank. Do you know if the thread is the same as in the metal tank?</span>

I didn't check, but I really hope they are. Thanks for the threadlock tip on the road wheels. I'll do that on the painting rebuild.

Yeah, mine was an impulse buy too. Just something cool about an ''all metal tank''. I wish I could afford and aeromate as that's exactly what I'd want, but no way can I justify that much on a single hobby purchase.

I guess we'll keep each other posted.<br type=''_moz'' />

Yes I ended up usiing the hex end shafts form the plastic donor tank as well. Whne I had mine in Danville I also broke a couple of metal swing arms. I had reamed them out where you scre them to the hull as I thtught the seems tight. Would have ben better to emery cloth the screws as it turned out. Reaming thme out weakened them and caused the failure.
