Default Tiger axles

I hav had a set of metal arms and axles for my tiger for a wile and just tried to install them well nothing fit. The arms set to deep in the hull and the head or the screw was to big the axles are to short and thin and the inner hubs to deep. The good side it after cutting, turning, filing and adding brass bushings glued in the hubs it works better than the others i have done. The suspension stops are brass tube glued in the existing holes it the hull and it sets about 1/4 inch taller than before. Does any one know what these parts are ment to fit because they dont fit any hl tiger i have had.

I thought they were meant for Asiatam hulls and to be used in conjunction with the metal road wheels. However, really fantastic modification you did. Makes me a bit more confident to purchase these without having to purchase the Asiatam hull in the mean time, although I will.

That explains it i dident know Asiatam used the same coil spring as hl. I will use these next time after the little extra work it works better than the regular hl metal arms. At least now i know what to order now thanks.

I bought the metal arms and hull supports from Welsh Dragon and it included the pins for the wheels....It almost fell together...best one on the market (Yes I used the stock HL wheels)

Aisatam DOES NOT use the same coil spring as HL The Asiatam hull uses a true torsion bar suspention. It is still a poor design with or without the metal arms. Nothing to keep them from twisting.

That could be the case.
