Beautiful clean eines. Has everything it needs and nothing too much! As always.

Thanks!
It has a little too many APS units, but i guess you can never have to much APS

Very interesting looking suspension design, is it based on any real-world mechanism? I'd certainly love to see it in motion.
Also, are the rear drive motors the only track drive system? If so, they seem a bit small to be driving a ~50 (give or take) ton vehicle.

The suspension is just your run of the mill hydropnuematic suspension, the copper bars are there to conserve waste energy through induction.
Though the copper cylinders are supposed to be curved since the wheels rotate instead of going directly up and down.

Interesting regenerative system, it does seem like you could build up a good bit of energy through suspension movement, as long as the bar assembly is properly separated from the elements.

I remember trying to build tracks in Sketchup. Mine never turned out this well. My hat's off to you. Well done.
