Just curious- why are some tanks designed with sag in the tracks, while others are designed to be tight? Is there some particular advantage to one or the other, or is it merely just a design characteristic?
I know that “saggy” tracks are on tanks with “dead” running gear and the tight ones are “live” tracks. But what the design characteristics of each are, I don’t know. Someone will be on here to enlighten us, I’m sure.
A good question, and one that I did not know the answer to.
I used Google , and eventually found an article on the Christie suspension that touches on some of the issues. I think it’s worth a read.
The article is in the Wikipedia online encyclopedia:
