Default 6x6 Dodge Power Wagon on capra axles

Hello everybody!
My first post on this forum)
First, i want to say, english isn't my native language. I will make many mistakes, please understand .
So
My first big Project- 6x6 Dodge Power Wagon on Axial Capra axles.
Specs:
- 3 Axial capra axles
- Axial frame
- Moddify TRX-4 2-speed gearbox
- HobbyWing AXE FoC 2300kv
- ''Rocker-balancing'' custom made rear suspension
- custon 1.9 wheels (based on TGH wheels)
- Proline Flat Iron XL tires with custom foams
Rear suspension i designed a few years ago, but ''in metall'' was created in this project. The main idea: suspension should works great to provide as much as possible of traction. Oh, yes, i has only 4 shock for 3 axles
*a lot of more info a wanna write here. But it's a little be difficult for me*
If you want to knows more, about tech- i'm try to explain
Some pictures&testdrive:

Thanks everybody!
Rear suspension works interesting.
For example: if we use links instead of shoks. When 2-nd axle goes up - the 3-rd axle goes down. When 2-nd axle articulate clockwise - 3-rd articulate counterclockwise. This princip provides maximum of tracktion + big suspension travel.
But, when i added a shocks - suspension operation becomes more complex and even more efficient.
Looks like there:
