oh yeah now i see them, wow, what are they made of?

 

[CharliesTheMan]

peanut butter... Come on now Lloyd, they're metal lol. How scale would it be if it had carboard suspension.

 

[slowngreen]

well i meant aluminum or steel, ya know, i was just wondering how actual "springy" they are or if they are delicate.

 

[CharliesTheMan]

I know, I was just giving you a hard time. They've got to made of some kind of steel. They hold up good and I think aluminum would be too soft.

 

[Lessen]

I would imagine they would be spung steel.

 

[Webbage]

Spung! Sounds like something from Monty Python :

Yeh, I'd have thought they'd be spring steel too. Alu doesn't tend to spring very much and is, unless you use a specialist grade, very susceptible to hardening due to flexing, so would snap in a matter of hours.

 

[CharliesTheMan]

I'm about 99.9 percent sure it's spring steel as well.

UMMM, the leaf springs from a Tamiya Highlift and there steel. FYI :\
