Actually, there is one vehicle with that type of suspension. Check out SV15 in the link below.

Has anyone tried this yet? You basically make an "L" in each end, angled to each other so the ground clearance is right, and one end is secured on the other side of the tank, running across to come out on the other side to connect to the wheel/arm. Seems it might be a bit cheaper to do than springs. Also, any preferences on wood versus metal hulls? Wood seems to be cheaper initially, but they both take a good bit of work to do. Same friend that suggested the piano wire torsion bars kept telling me to do plywood instead of the angle stock frame I was looking at. Thus far I've had metal working work out better than wood working, but then I've not tried much on wood recently. -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
