RE: 1/10 soviet steel
Bit of an update after the easter break. Worked hard on the suspension system for the KV.
Not easy...drilling 1 mm holes straight enough for threading in 6 mm silver steel with a battery powered screwdriver would test anyone...
Took ages to source the springs. Not an easy job as buying springs is a hassle given how they are described. So Igot a bunch of ATV exhaust springs which do the job nicely.
Then Ihad to learn how to braze steel to make the arms.........then had to wait until my learning burns healed before I could continue.
The suspension is adjustable in the spring can fasten at any position along the arms or the eye bolt can be lengthened to soften it out.
AS it is its fairly robust but thats what I was after.
1/10 scale, despite the lack of aftermerket bits, is a joy as its much easier to work with. Although saying that....the weight is ballooning.
