The current plan is to let them conform to the ramp. If there are a few pounds left over at the end of build season, we may add some sort of simple tension system to put a traction bias on the inner 4 wheels, yet all 8 wheels would still stay on the ground.

The chassis is based off of this concept that was thought of before the C-Base towers and Toughbox Nano's came out. That concept was based off of this concept of a natural terrain-hugging suspension.
