Default RE: 1/16 HL RC M41 Walker Bulldog (more to scale)

The correct Bulldog doesn't have struts on the 3d and 4th road wheels. I think HL saved some money by just copying the suspension they made for the Pershing. If you take the struts off the HL Bulldog, then the road wheels will just bounce around and you won't get traction or raise the body over bumps in that part of the tank. I'd love to know a way to install compression springs in that spot instead so that you could get rid of the struts.

Alan123, I read somewhere on rctankwarfare that someone mentioned being able to use Tamiya Pershing road wheels as a replacement on the HL Bulldog or Pershing. But, it wasn't clear if this was a direct replacement or if it required some mods to the HL swing arms.
