Car is a great car, serves you well.
However when reversing the car’s steering system (those wheels in front) go wacky and just wobble like that door stopper you played with when you were younger.
I have tried (on the joint of course) increasing the power, decreasing the power, increasing the max power, decreasing the max power, applying limits, removing limits. What in the world is wrong with this joint? All it is is a stupid hinge joint with a servo actuator type. Are my wheels too heavy? Do they have too much friction? Are the stars misaligned?
Second, I’m experiencing the wobble going both forward and backward, and especially when I hit the wall. This leads me to believe that the wheels are held in place laterally with a spring instead of a rigid joint.
Might be relevant: The hinges on my own car wheels get wobbly, but I noticed that it only gets wobbly when applying a very strong amount of force. It seems that hinge constraints get wobbly if they are stressed…
Addressing this issue, using my chassis I made that had the similar problem, all you need to do is set the ServoMaxTorque to higher values, or else they’ll be wobbly and stuff.
No, it does not relate to attachment placements or weight of the chassis. They are fine as they are.
Simply tweak the ServoMaxTorque to an extreme number.
Are you willing to provide that as a barebones file upload so that OP (or potentially others who’ve seen this post) can reference that assembly for constructing a chassis or resolving issues (like in OP).
Updated the post, check it again, I just remembered that you have to size up the part that connects the servo, or else it’ll be extremely weak and can be easily be affected by the physics.
I’ll test it out, just a minute. I wanna know if it’s the same problem I once ran into while making my still in-progress car chassis…
I think it’s the same problem! Here’s what I did (on the suggestion of @Panwellz, we’re in contact so I ask him questions about chassis as he is the owner of Car Crushers 2) to fix it:
Enable CustomPhysicalProperties on the main part of your Servo. Might as well carry this out on both parts connected to the servo as I don’t remember exactly.
Increase the Density value, I set it to about 15. Play around with this value until you find one you’re comfortable with, it can go up to 100 but set it too high and the car will start bumping.
Enjoy!
Let me know if this solves your problem, mark it as the solution if it does. As a side note, I like the chassis so far!
Thank you to all who replied. The solution to my problem is that I simply needed to increase the size of the steering parts and the density of the steering parts.
