I was wondering if I could use the running gear set from Blast for my MLRS ??
Can anyone help ?

Thanks

Yes you can. They use the same running gear. You may not have enough track though if using aftermarket track for a Bradley. The MLRS has a stretched wheelbase and requires more track than a Bradley.

Yes, it should be possible. All components of suspension in the real thing are the same, just attached to the hull in different configuration.

Not that it really matters in the modeling world...but the MLRS has suspesion lockouts to stablize it better during firing.

Are those lockouts visible ? And if so, does anyone have some pictures so I can build those on my model too ?
