    We should be able to resolve the suspension issues, however the hinges are the first problem.

    @FlyingNarwhal Ok.. so a fundamental issue is the use of hinges on joints which will incur stress and it appears you have used the extensively... I have tried before many times to try and strengthen hinges but its not so good. Better to change to the use of a small joint rotator. Further, using 2 hinges joined together will make the part flex - good if that's what you want.

    @SpiritusRaptor hey I hate to bother you but I'd like to make this thing work flawlessly and you just seemed to be the expert in flawless so I was wondering if you could help me out with it? Its a transformer that will go from a sports car to a fighter jet which will both be ascetically pleasing and not a car with wings. So anyway here are the issues... first and foremost the front suspension cannot handle the jet's acceleration and speed and they shocks break off. Second I want the car to not roll over like it does so maybe modding the shocks? idk but the shocks don't do well with the weight. Lastly I was just wondering if you could turn collisions off on the engines. Thanks so much for considering and when I finish it Ill gladly give you credit!
