Worthy of the Trax! Posts: 84 Group: Member Member #95 Joined: July 1, 2006	I keep my tanks u on balsa blocks, to keep pressure off the suspension, when not in use, do you need to do this? As I heard the front suspension brace can bend over time if left to support the weight of the tank constantly.

LOL with tracks i say it almost more inportant to rotate them every now and then over keeping them off the tracks.
