I am working on the Tammy Pershing and I have a question about the workable suspension. Following the instructions I pressed on the suspension arms. There are holes in the back side of the arms that lock on to pins on the hull, holding them in position. Do I need to shave those pins off the hull to make the suspension "workable" or am I doing something else wrong? The way I have it togther now the road wheel arms not not move...
Thanks in advance,
Shaun

Yeah if you want the suspension to work you have to shave off the pins but I might suggest you only remove the pins you need to get the effect you are after ..I removed them all and the springs in the back keep raising the rear over time so I have to push it down every now and then... Another little hint when you are ready to install your wheels to the suspension ..Glue the wheels on as the polly caps are quite loose and I lost points because the wheels didn't line up perfectly because of the slack .. This is a great kit Shaun ..Have fun with it .

Thanks Richard. You are right, this is great kit. I bought two, one to build OOB and one with the whole after market smack. Building the OOB version now.
Thanks again,
