Default TIGER Missing Screw

Hey Brothers!

Back from a nasty bought with pnemonia. So I decided to take TIGER 304 for a spin. Just my luck two of the screws on my swing arms came out somewhere during the mission.

Might any of you have a couple spares that i could purchase from you?


Thanks


Don

Glad you're back Chief! Thought you were squirreled away writing a book! What kind of screw, the hex head with the new suspension or the m3 with phillips used on the older tanks?

Hey Friend!

It is the old Phillips Head type. It was an awsome breakdown. Turned to the left and the second and forth roadwheels flew off. The trackjammed and sheared two ofthe teeth off my gears.

Thanks

They're M3 screws 3/16" long if memory serves. I bought some replacements from local hardware store. I can send you some if you like. Send me your address via PM.

Just to be sure, did you modify or reinforce the suspension? Stock plastic or metal arms screwing into plastic mounts on hull?

Thanks for the bailout,

I have modified with the aftermarket reinforcement and the metal arms, screwing into brass spigots.

Again thanks for the help!


Best


Don
