       You've got the idea, Not to mention you won't be using as much travel 
either. I am thinking of adding shocks to every second road wheel later on 
as my tank bounces pretty good when I slam it around.
        If I had it to do over the suspension would probably be left off my 
tank. The build time could have been halved and the headaches obsolete. It 
is nice to have an RC vehicle with 16 independantly suspended axles though.
