yeah, I got that.
But like you see, a wheel can only "drop" into a dip.
It would rely on a three dimensional base.

Like I said, I only installed dowels to provide more strength and rigidity to the chassis
and to provide a point at which to build on (re: suspension components).
I learned from the Centurion, that the attachment locations are the weak points for the Road Wheels, Drive gears, return rollers, etc
if the Tank didn't have so many of these, it would have collapsed under its own weight.

I just want to provide a stronger attachment for each suspension point.
A small dowel, maybe only a few millimeters, sticking out, is just a strong attachment point.
Because that dowel goes all the way through the hull, it is even stronger.
