 Subject:  Panther suspension arm debate continuedList thread.

Hi Ken and all,

I like the indy links. They're probably easier to manufacture too. Once the
master is cut it's a matter of supplying three or four identical track
sprues in the box. That's probably a lot easier than having to have a vinyl
production line. Even small scale kits are featuring styrene tracksets.
Maybe an enterprising aftermarket company will offer rubber band tracks for
the popular kits.

As far as the suspension is concerned on the new Panthers, DML has lots of
kits with suspensions that don't articulate. Just look into some of the
boxes.

I'm not sure why I got so upset about the comments about the famous Panther
suspension arms. Missing Links has an excellent thread that gets into what
makes people open the box and look for the first thing they can complain
publicly about.
