Would be nice to get more info & additional views.

Additional info

This uses the standard 300rpm 12v motors for the regular hmc chassis, the brain is a raspberry pi 2b, the wheels and wheel axles come from the the offroad articulating model of the hmc chassis, and I will try to get more pictures up.

I am planning on adding some

I am planning on adding some sort of suspension, I was thinking pneumatic but im still trying to research the best method

There’s no guarantee that they’ll work well, nor that the track will be taught (you might need to add idlers on springs)…
