Joel - sorry for taking so long to reply! I moved shortly after posting the
link and this is the first I've had a chance to visit Lugnet since then.
I did a lot of of experimenting with floating suspension and ran into all kinds
of problems with the gears locking up (or the boogies flipping over!). The main

desired scale. I admit that I gave up for the sake of design simplicity,
although I won't say it can't be done!
