hi everyone i need some advice
ive got a 60 size airwolf yea its pretty large 58 inc long but im starting to think its fairly heavy now so by the time its finsihed it will be even more heavy i dont mind but i had an idea.., the wheels at the moment what are on well they are a stiff spring but they are pretty solid with no movement in them so if it lands hard it will take a bang i rekon,so my idea was to fit somethink like shockers onto it ..like a rc car supension type but rc car shocks are still fairly soft so i need some advice on how you might think i can get around doing this does anyone know of a homemade way or does any know of an avrage 60 size helecopter wight and convirt it so i know what type of shockers to get i want it to land so its got some give and wont just be a sold touch down and the quakward bit is to keep them the same size so they can fold up into the fuselarge
the bar at the moment is 3 inch then this bar sticks through the wheel , if i was to messure it from top to bottom <floor> includeing the wheel its 4 inch
it looks a bit taty at the moment but not for long


i was thinking of adding somethink like this but smaller and harder
