I am starting construction on a Stridsvagn 103C next week.  It should be ready for 
the next Maryland battle later in the summer.

The suspension will use torsion springs, with the inside ends attached to arms 
swinging around the axles.  The swinging arms of the front and rear road wheels on 
each side will be attached to a bar that is driven by a matching arm on a very slow, 
high torque gearmotor.

Because there is almost no room above the barrel, I'm planning to use the Q-Loader 
previously discussed.

Lot of discussion on it a few months back.  I believe there is someone
working on it.  The only problem I see is the suspension elevation that
the original has.  And maybe fitting everything inside.
