RE: suspension [TANKS]

["Todd Hutchins" <sthutch-at-charter.net>]

I decided on a suspension right from the start.  I certainly extended my
construction time, but I thought the improvement in the "ride" would be
worth it.  I took quite a few trips to the hardware, Lowes, and Home Depot
to find adequate springs.  I will still have to go with beefier springs on
the lead and rear road wheels.

The downside of a suspension is the lengthening of construction time and the
greatly increased number of parts that may fail.  Now that I have the
design, I am glad, but many times I wished I had built it without, and added
it to my second tank.

do I have to put suspension on my road wheels or is it just for looks?
