Resting at "the top of the slot" means maximum compression.
The model would always sit as low as possible.
Without springs to push up the vehicle, the axles will always be "at the top of the slot".

The dowels have nothing to do with the suspension,
they are just there for strengthening.
Something to build the suspension parts on top of.

Making the dowels sloppy through the chassis, doesn't allow the suspension
to move, if the suspension is not already movable/flexible.
I don't plan on making working torsion bars and shock absorbers!

The holes are actually already oval...to compensate for the angle sides in the hull!
But they are not elongated.

Elongated holes and moving "axles" causes another problem...
I would have to raise the floor inside to clear the moving "axles".

As I said, fixed suspension, fixed ride height.
Just like a plastic model! LOL
