Kind of a crude diagram but this is the concept behind the suspension
system on T014. The key to the system functioning properly is making
each individual axle adjustable at the spring lever. You will find that
your front and rear most bogey's will have the most pressure on them
being that they are closest to the drive sprockets. I used a
heavier spring at these two points.

When running over a 2x6 board the hull only moves 1/8"
