    @mattmck The flipping is actually why I added it, I figured it had good enough clearance otherwise.

    sway bars are nice for turning and not worrying about flipping but most people in real life take them off for more clearance when off roading, good job otherwise

    @SUPERSAMROCK I did that in another, previous vehicle that I haven't uploaded, and I thought about doing that with this one but I wanted to try making a more, I guess realistic suspension, which seems to be an issue with simpleplanes.

    I found that if you only have one pivot point to stabilize, and a fixed point to attach the shocks, you get a nice suspension. Like this
