Re: suspension [TANKS]

[Polanik <polanik-at-sasktel.net>]

I am planning on using shock absorbers off of an rc truck that way you could 
have dampening as well. I plan on mounting them on the outside of my leopard 
just like the real suspention and with 7 per side it should work. If not all 
I would need to do is put heaver springs on the shocks
