i was looking at the tank suspension that niel suggested, but i was 
thinking of a different design that i have seen on the actual tank in 
military use.  this would be where a pair of wheels would pivot on a common 
axle, yet have individual springs for the wheels and another tension type 
device for the twist in the spring arm between the wheels.  not sure if 
this is making any sense.  these tanks generally have a smaller set of load 
bearing wheels along the bottom track, and then another more spaced out set 
along the top to carry the tracks along.  i remember seeing one of these 
tanks on display in london, and again for a german display, different tank, 
but similar set up.
 
has anyone tried making this set up?  it seems as if it would be a 
combination of several exsisting setups, but the overall construction would 
take up less space and enable smaller parts to be used instead of 
industrial strength nuts and bolts from the building supply store.
 
anyway, information would be appreciated, and thanks again niel for the 
references, it saved a lot of time not having to look at 80 tanks one at a 
time.
 
thanks again
dirk
