Auto Credit Based on weebabyseamus's Monster Truck Suspension

I used @WeeBabySeamus monster truck suspension and extended it to an 8x8 design and removed landing gear from tires (the landing gear caused wheels to bounce on flat terrain and eventually break). VTOL up for forward and roll for steering. I will be adding a body to this shortly

@weeBabbyseamus I havent actually run into any explosions save for a exploding wheel but ill try and keep the weight down just to be safe.

@Puredeath weight is a big issue with this suspension, the heavier it gets the easier it is to explode. Would love to see some replica vehicles slapped on this chassis.

@WeeBabySeamus Now the question is do i make a body on top based on a real vehicle or make something like a rocket/ missile launcher... hmm
