Wheels spinning on my tank

Ok so I have a new tank model I am working on but the wheels slip, the ride is very jerky and it stops after a while.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Edit 1: Made video work

Maybe utilize a VehicleSeat’s throttle and steer properties to tell when the tank is moving? This way you can detect when it stops moving and force stop the wheels so they dont spin like that, detecting when the W key is also released would work aswell.

I never stopped the tank, for that whole video I held w down, the wheel just slip endlessly after 5 seconds

oh I see now, have you tried modifying properties on the tank like Massless to make the whole assembly lighter or Friction on the wheels to make them grip more? You could also just go around the wheels and make a movement system utilizing BodyMovers but that would be more work

I want the wheel to actually drive the vehicles as I find body movers just flip the tank at any increase in terrain.

Then I would suggest changing some properties on the wheels, making them bigger would give them more torque and upping their friction would make them more grippy, I feel that messing around with such properties would fix your problem if you havent tried that already

I will try that now, let me see if it works
