Two items:
First, a 1 meg file to the list is irritating, please don’t do that.
Second, the amount of slack caused by your road wheels rising is not the same as the amount of slack taken up by the upper carrier wheels rising an equal amount. Perhaps the theory would work with the middle sets of wheels, but the ones directly adjacent to the track when it runs the 45 degree slope will not give you the result you want.
Without illustrations, a description would be difficult, but if you compress your suspension on either end, the change in the angle of approach on your track will be by (for example) 10 or 15 degrees, whereas the change of angle on the upper side will be by only 4 or 5 degrees. If you throw some actual trig at this, I think you’ll find the track going slack when either end compresses.
I could be wrong, but that’s what I see when I look at it.

This is a possibility but who ever uses it will have to adapt my system to fit their tank. I have not tested this system its just a thought that I might be lucky to have written down. If the picture does'nt work I'll try my best to get it to you. Do you Yahoo!? |
