How can i make an AngularVelocity constraint only affect 1 axis

Title is self explanatory. When I use an AngularVelocity constraint to rotate my chassis, the X axis works fine, but the problem is that the other axes are affected as well, which is what i don’t want while driving. i’ve also tried to rotate them using a BodyAngularVelocity instance with no success.

AngularVelocity properties:
props

the lines that change the angularvelocity:

....
if property == "Steer" then
			car_seat.Parent.Base.Steerer.AngularVelocity = Vector3.new(turn_speed*car_seat.Steer,0,0)
....

It appears there is no way to change only 1 axis of the angular velocity without affecting the other ones. Best solution right now is to calculate an equation in which the other axis are not affected.

Use the legacy body movers, since those allow single axis manipulation.

Did you ever find a solution? Currently having this issue.

Yeah how come we can have separated axis on linear velocity but not this?

This works by setting the BodyAngularVelocity.MaxTorque on the unwanted axes to zero, but there are a lot of caveats, for example you can’t limit the angular velocity to rotate around a non axis-aligned axis.
