Steve,

Your first tank had no suspension system and seemed to perform very well.
Is having the suspension system really necessary for paint ball battling?  I
know it will be easier on the internals, but do you really need it?  Let me
know if you plan to sell any more T-34s in the future.  :-)

The only issues so far are the springs getting compressed and on a few,
distorted.  Before the last battle I stretched them back to length, and
on the few that needed it, bent them back into shape.  I'll be getting a
supply of springs over the winter and just consider them a consumable
item, replacing them as needed.  Dirt and paint haven't been much of an
issue.

Tip of the Day: Store your suspended vehicle on blocks with the
suspension hanging.  This helps to conserves your springs for the battle
day.
