Outer Bogie Wheels no turning

[Ramon Mendoza]

I have one of the early production mid tiger 1 and my outer bogie wheels do not have enough weight/contact with the tracks to rotate consistently. I realize the wheel arms are not completely parallel with the ground so am working on this. Any suggestions on this problem would be welcome. Thanks.

Hello Ramon,

Did you check your suspension arms? Maybe they are comming loose?
I secure my suspension arms with loctite ( green= very strong ) and drill
on both sides of the arms a hole and put a pen in.

If you have the original cast suspension arms, which I believe were machined in India, they could be out of true at both ends, compounding the problem.

A set of Mark's in-house machined arms should line things up a treat.
