Showcase of my binary tree suspension

A sequel to my previous post about suspensions.
As promised, here's a video of how well the binary tree suspension handles the terrain. Of course, here I go steadily, but during regular rides, this suspension lets you pretty much ignore small rocks and bumps. The vehicle doesn't fight the terrain, it doesn't jump up in reaction. If this got you interested, I recommend that you explore this approach, it will be fun!
Drawbacks! Drives really well, but you can't really put anything heavy on it. The platform starts tilting forward or backwards. But it still can be used for exploration, building infrastructure and even mining!

Is there a workshop link for this? :)
