I had a look at my 6mm ones and they look reasonable to me. They consist 
of separate chassis and superstructure. The chassis is a central spine 
with encased axles. Plenty of space for a blast to dissipate, thought 
the underside of the chassis is fairly flat and could be more V-shaped. 
The superstructure has well sloped lower sides.
