You'll have to pump the page through Babelfish, but just the idea of adding suspension to the wheels/tread is COOOOL!!!

WOW! Very cool but more than I'd be willing to try. Do you think a tank that small would really need that kind of mod? Guess I'll have to wait til my tanks get here before I'll know.

You'll see in more detail, when you get yours, that though they have a great amount of torque and can climb pretty steep inclines...They have a tendency to flip-over (front to back)

Having a suspension would effectively stop that. Instead of the Tank 'tracking' staight up, the suspension would absorb some of the incline and keep the Tank going straight ahead instead of straight up (and over).

This is by no means a casual mod, it involves some tricky business and I personally won't be likely to try it (I just LOVE my little Tanks too much to risk harming them)...But if someone else with a bit more sense of risk were interested, this is definitely HIGH on the cool mods list!
