Default RE: t-34 build

Guys...

I've found the T-34 I've got has very little suspension throw... about 2-3mm and the tracks are up rubbing on the sponson blocking plate. This ~is~ supposedly one of the old LED units, not the new IR ones, and I seem to remember my other one having much more suspension throw... like a Tamiya. Even my M41 chassis has more throw in the suspension. Do I have to rip out some of the lower suspension stops to let the springs 'lift' it more? Cut off the sponson plates and fab a vertical guard inside the hull? (like the old KT's needed)

I note that this is being checked with the tank dead empty, no battery, not even the upper body/turret on.

Does anyone make replacement suspension components/chassis, like they do for the HL's?

Or should I give up, and hand it over to Daryl to 'fix'...
