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.
