onboard VC look like you're driving it through the epicenter of an earth
quake : )  I'm thinking of redesigning it with large wheels and a suspension
system.

The shaking is caused by the rib on the track going over the wheel. When the
ribs dead centre the vehicle will be at it's highest point as the vehicle
lifts itself onto the rib. As the rib moves away the vehicle 'falls' back
onto the non-ribbed portion.

The solution is to extend the axle's and put a thin wheel on each corner
that has a radius larger than the radius of the hub and rib height combined.
You should then get a smooth ride, although climbing performance will be
affected.
