Re: [TANKS] Re: New to the hobby, suspension questions
i think 3/4" travel is a good amount of travel (depending on the size of things) Chris, _Odyssey Slipways_ (http://hometown.aol.com/odysseyslipways/index.html) -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

[TANKS] Re: New to the hobby, suspension questions
this question can be answered very easily through the experience of others . although full independent suspension is better than a pivot arm and a pivot arm is better than no suspension , take a look a T001 , the most successful / most battled tank , it has no suspension at all . 3/4 of an inch of travel is not a lot but better than none and none can be very successful , much depends on your skills level.

How much travel should I be looking for with my system. I kinda figured out one way to get about 3/4" of travel by replicating the actual Sherman's HVSS, but will that be enough?

[TANKS] Re: New to the hobby, suspension questions
Remember that although the simple pivot system may help to keep your tracks in contact with the ground it won't cushion the ride in an way. The tank hull will still feel every bump! For what it's worth, I'd recommend incorporating a fully sprung suspension if you have the room and you can make it robust. There are few things more satisfying than watching your new tank's suspension float over rough terrain. . .
