Reg, Rigid does make a set that attaches the springs to the axles. It is the set with the red Links, Izzy has it on his daycab. I have owned this set along with ScaleArt and Oswald sets, none of mine have hooked the spring packs to the axles. I agree, they should be but I think that limits the axle travel. I also think all of these kits should have a brace or cross member running under the suspension tying the two bolsters together, haven't seen that done either.
My ScaleArt sets on my Wedico articulate very well. ![]() ![]() Last edited by Claus; 05-15-2016 at 09:41 PM. |

Looking very good great job I love what you did with your wedico, how did you get to lower the rear oswald/scale art suspension on the wedico?mine is just face down but in the air looks weird
Thanks |

Thanks for the compliments! The Wedico gave me many fits trying to get things right. Originally I had Oswald suspension front and rear. The Oswald front really made the front low and made the rake even worse. When I sent my chassis parts out for powder coating the heat ruined the Oswald rear bolsters. Then I decided to go 8X8 with the truck and ordered ScaleArt diffs and suspension kits. Then I don't remember exactly why but I didn't like the ScaleArt front suspension kit either. In the end I ran stock Wedico springs up front and ScaleArt out back. The truck sits a little high but it's modeled after a heavy spec truck so I can live with it. The problem with a Wedico is when you change one thing that leads into 10 other things needing to be changed and in the US that means custom made parts for the most part as there just isn't much Wedico over here. Lots of trial and error.
