  • Panther G soft suspension

    I have a new upgrade model Heng Long Panther G and the suspension springs are so soft in the front of the tank that there is no travel left when it's sitting still.
    This model has a steel gearbox and metal tracks, sprockets and idler wheels but it needs more spring tension.
    Is there a place to get better springs because clocking the springs doesnt work.

    The springs are adjustable. There are two settings yours sounds like it is set on the soft setting. You will need to remove the wheels and suspension arms to adjust the springs to the heavier setting.

        Add another whole. It’s a fairly common practice.

            On my Jagdpanther I had to go in and use a dremel to make new holes and nstal the springs where they had almost a full turn before tightening the arms down. It seemed like alot of tension on the springs but it stopped the issue of the nose in the weeds. I still think the suspension is too soft but it sits up where it should. The jagdpanther has all steel gears same as my tiger but the tiger seems to have too strong of suspension amd doesnt flow over the ground like it should.
