I'm gonna build something that has never built before

8,437 Testin123  7.2 years ago

A modified class race car. Don't know what it is? Google it. But, I'm having trouble with where to start. Any tips for making a race car? I've never made one before. Not to mention all of my chassis are off-road, so i'm having tons of issues here.

    @DemonSniper8 You're advice is very useful.
    @jamesPLANESii Swiped a chassis from a 9 month old build of mine and edited it. Thanks.

    @Testin123 also, if you want your car to be really low, have a front splitter, and still be able to go up onto the runway again, try putting the axles lower than you want the actual wheel to be so that there's space between the top of the wheel and the fender. Put a hinge rotator, so then you can raise the wheel and lower the front end into "race mode"

    Build the chassis, then put stuff over the top.

    Okay, what I would do normally is design the exterior, and then put a simple suspending with one spring per wheel with a very high strength. The front end should be fairly low to the ground. If you want a high-part, super detailed car, build your suspension first, and attach a roll cage to it that serves as the frame for the sides and top of the car. And one more thing: Use wider wheels in the back, but shorten the axle so that the front wheels line up with the back wheels on the outside edge.
