Tamiya 1/35 M2 Bradley Corrected Replacement Suspension

Description: SM35008 SAAMMODELS: Replacement Suspension for Tamiya Bradley kits: M2, M3, M2A2, and M2A2 ODS. These parts were created based on measurements and photos from a M2A2 ODS at Camp Ripley, MN. In this set you will receive 12 inner roadwheels, 12 outer roadwheels (these are hollow to allow the poly caps to be fit), 4 left/4 right suspension arm additions, 1 left/1 right final drive with corrected orientation/covers/detail/motorization hole fillers, 1 left/1 right idler mounts with offset orientation for the torsion suspension, 4 single wheel/2 double wheel return rollers with accurate details, 2 detailed idlers, and 2 CORRECTLY SHAPED sprockets. These are the first correctly shaped roadwheels and do NOT have a rim (the rubber is vulcanized over the inner lip) and with the correct shape of the outside wheel lip. These are meant to be direct replacements for the Tamiya kit parts and they have the hollow openings for the polycaps inside.Suspension arms are included to give the illusion of the arms that should be there on the first, second, third, and sixth roadwheel arm.The Final Drive is completely redone with correct orientation, shape, thickness, details, and motorization hole plugs.Idler mounts are MUCH IMPROVED over any other kit details and designed for the Tamiya kit. They include much better detail and are set up so the left side idler mount is further back than the right side (offset) just as on the real vehicle.The return rollers include accurate mounts and much improved detail.2 new idlers are included with improved detail. They are printed in one piece but are correctly offset.AND 2 NEW SPROCKETS. These are printed in 1-piece, correctly detailed, and shaped based on a lot of research, with non-mirrored inner and outer ring shapes. These are the first sprockets to correctly capture this. The sprockets have been tested for fit to the Tamiya rubber band tracks, MENG M2A3 kit tracks, Orochi/Kinetic M3A3 kit tracks, and AFV Club workable "Big Foot" track. Photos show MENG tracks (black) and AFV Club tracks (Brown) but they are NOT INCLUDED. The Tamiya rubber band tracks will work but the left side is a bit tight as they were not designed for the correct offset idler mount, so be aware some work may need to be done to the track to ease the tension. These parts should also be compatible with any Tamiya clone kit from Academy, Hobby Craft, etc... These parts MAY work with the MENG and Orochi/Kinetic kits, but were not designed for them. See photos for details. Photos show parts mounted on a Tamiya M2A2 ODS kit (not included) with other model work done. See my youtube channel for details on how these parts fit and how to build the kit. These parts will be taken off of the printing supports for complete curing, but will require some sanding to remove the attachment nubs. These have been designed by me under my brand SAAMMODELS (I own the CAD files and STL files) and I print them on Elegoo Mars or Saturn printers. They are printed to order, so please allow 1-2 extra days after the order has been placed. These were designed to help me build my Tamiya M2 Bradley kits more accurately without a lot of extra work.
