[Without springs to push up the vehicle, the axles will always be "at the top of the slot".]

Agreed, but only when on level ground. On uneven ground the wheels move around to compensate. ie: if the centre wheels are over a dip, they will drop into it. I've used this quite effectively for posing 4x4 vehicles on uneven ground, and just thought it might work well on a 6x6 as well. I do tend to work at much smaller scales where authentic accuracy isn't a problem though.

I don't have any pics to hand, but I'm sure there's a Volker Land Rover kicking around somewhere with wobbly axles. I'll try to find one and take a pic.
