RE: SUPPORT VEHICLE [TANKS]

Tim,
i was planing on working suspensions on all 8 wheels and maybe a 18 volt 
drill motor for power with a timing belt system to transfer power.  I was 
thinking about using either ratchet universals as cv jionts or flex shafts i 
found at MECI (i love that place) a couple weeks ago.  They had about 10 of 
them or so just laying on the floor so i snatched them up and put them on a 
shelf so i would remember where they were.
