This is the prototype, so I used less expensive materials and roughed it together to see if it will work. The shock is made from ½” copper pipe with a 5/8” slip pipe. Inside are a compression spring and two dowels cut to the right size. The HVS is fake, using wood blocks to look like the spring and a film canister for the casing. After testing, I will have to put compression springs in the HVS to support the tank. I feel comfortable with the design and am getting ready to make my first “nice” one. After that, I will make six more (I need a spare). The wheels were cut out of laminated plywood using hole saws. The rubber is 2 ¾” automotive hose. You can buy the stuff in about any diameter up to 5 or 6 inches and it is a straight tube. I just cut it on the bandsaw and it gives a great fit (like a rubber band). I have the lower hull cut out (will send more pics) and have ordered 4 drive sprockets to arrive this week. I hope to make the tank expo this weekend, but have no information on it.
