    Unknown part - Taigen Tiger 1 Mid

    Hi guys, picked up a Tiger 1 Mid and I am scratching my head on this piece of wire in the parts bag, approx 3" long. Any of you know what this is for?

    Looks like a torsion bar.

      I went through my Tiger parts box and found one too. It was quite thin. I peaked through the hole and checked the base of the tank. I noticed that the torsion bar of the tank was thicker and stronger than the piece we have here. So maybe we should email Imex and ask :rolling_eyes:

        Rubicon99, thanks. It certainly does look like one, but I have never received any spare torsion bar with my other Taigens/Torros. Oh well, once I put it away, I will probably never find it again, especially when I need it.

          It looks like the Airsoft barrel recoil linkage from the barrel to servo.
