| I lost one. I have no idea how and suspect that it was never assembled with it in place. Anyway, I need it before I can use the tank. Anyone have one that I could buy from them? It's 4mm Dia, 40.5mm OAL, 28mm shank with 9.2mm threaded end. Any assistance would be appreciated. -Art |

| Are you sure that is from a Taigen Tiger I (or perhaps a Tiger II, sometimes called a King Tiger) The reason is that the description doesn't match anything on the Taigen Tiger I that I just completed. This is what you sent; The Taigen Tiger I has metal road wheel axles, secured to a metal swing arm with a 3mm set screw; The screw in the picture looks like a Heng Long Tiger road wheel screw, or possibly one from a Taigen King Tiger. If we can figure this out, someone here should be able to help. _____________________________________________ "Luck favours the prepared!."

| The sticker next to the battery cover says Taigen. It could very well be a King. Sorry, I'm new at rc tanks. Any other identifiers that I could look for? The manual says German Tiger I, Taigen 3818-1. |

| Are the swing arms plastic or metal? Is the upper hull attached with screws, or this system in the pictures; _____________________________________________ "Luck favours the prepared!."

| Just for clarification sake, under the rear mud flaps there are #2 Philips screws. What the heck have I got? How do I reference my tank model the next time I encounter a problem? It seems there are many generations/variations and manufacturers trading under different names. Yikes! |

| I suspect that you have what is basically a Heng Long Tiger I marked by Taigen.
This isn't a bad thing, since there are lots of parts, replacement and upgrade, for Heng Longs.
The threaded road wheel screw should be easy to get and I assume that is what Stinger is offering (he has an impressive collection of bits & pieces).
THe Taigen Tigers like mine are what they call HC version, some of the differences are the quick release upper hull and the way the turret goes together, your turret looks like the Heng Long turret.
I think the Heng Long parts should fit your tank. _____________________________________________ "Luck favours the prepared!."

| Correct you are Glen, it is a standard HL screw that I just went down to my parts bin and stripped out one of my Tiger parts tanks.
