Suspension has been an idea since the beginning, but I've never heard of it ever being an advantage the same with front steering. Back in the 60's Dynamic made independent suspended cars, at least as independent as a solid axles can be. It didn't take long for guys to remove the springs under the axle holders and run the screws in tight so the frame was rigid.
While I am stuck in the early 60's simple inline slot car design, I think today the best builders like wheels, motor and guide to completely rigid with no flex. The body can move, the outriggers can move, but the wheels and guide remain completely rigid. Guys build ISO style frames and other designs, but that is not their fastest race cars, just a diversion, I guess.
I may be wrong!!
