@wello if it flips just wider the wheels and add more weight to the bottom
Yeah you’re probably right
@wello And that's why you dont add useless blocks. And if you added weight the suspension would need to be re tuned, I'd suggest lessoning the angle the shocks are at before just throwing more suspension on to it.
@wello well sure but that would be the easy out, you see, the point of suspension is to keep the vechile stable and keep all wheeles in contact with the ground to give the vechile more traction, you made it more top heavy and thus it no longer performed as I had originally designed. I'd recommend redesigning it to have more weight lower down and see if you could re build the swaybars to be stiffer. Adding a gyro is basically like cheating, that's why I never EVER use them in cars and push myself to design vechiles that are stable all on thier own. Think about it, adding a gyro, that basically defys physics anyways, (it wouldn't be possible for something that small to do what it does) makes all the swaybars useless, and makes all the balancing I did useless. The fact that it wouldn't work IRL is the reason vechiles have suspension like they do and why I built it the way I did, so no don't add gyro to fix a stabality issue, tinker around and see what you can tune or adjust to fix the problem at hand with in the suspension.
You should also make the springs stronger cuz sometimes it will be too heavy for the springs when you add too many blocks
@Maximum777
@Maximum777 Also it will sometimes flip.I recommend you add a gyro with a activation group other than 8 (nudge it into a block) so when it really flips the “driver” can flip it back upright without restarting
Ya, autocredit, thinking I'm going to remake this soon as well, start from scratch and design some nuts swaybar independent and then go from there.
