Topcad replacement front axles

That's very interesting Bo, thank you.

As you have one of these, do you find the suspension very stiff? For example, if one front wheel runs over something about 7mm or so, the rear wheel on the same side lifts up. These are very light models in relation to the strength of the leaf spring, so I was thinking of taking out a leaf to soften them a bit. Have you tried this?

I don't plan on hauling or carrying heavy loads, so I don't need such strong springs.
