Hey, so I made a modified "Booster Desert Runner" with VTOL capabilities allowing it to do small jumps, soften landings, and also speed it up for larger leaps. It is pretty well balanced. I also added two parachutes for jumping off cliffs or air drops that can be detached once you land. My issue is that the added weight has overloaded the rear shocks. How do you boost them to 500% like the front? I even tried to copy and paste them from the front shocks, but couldn't get them to "click in". I've also had an issue of the front shocks locking up. Any suggestions? Have to say, great base to work on!
Here is the Boosted Desert Runner, hope you like it and can help: http://www.simpleplanes.com/a/2h3PG3/Boosted-Desert-Runner#

@Nos946
Where can I help?
I need some custom suspension work done on one of my projects @emptybox
Lol. That's cool. Just wasn't sure if you knew or whatever. Cool build @emptybox
@EliteSteel
yes i know but i think its more fun to drive when the vehicle has a tendency to oversteer
One thing I seemed to have noticed in my time building and working on these builds, they spin out less if your rear tires have about 20-30% more sideways traction than the fronts. My normal settings are
Front: 120-130% side, 150% forward
Rear: 150% side, 150% forward
Just a things I've noticed.
Wow. This one outdoes my modified one that I made of your last build by miles. Also, just realized I forgot to make the update one I made public. Dangit.
@emptybox Thanks!
@Blaze388338 @PyrusEnderhunter @Pilotmario
feel free to do with it what you want :).
Reminds me of a German 222 for some reason,but can I take your suspension I've been looking for a good one I'll give credit if I ever upload it
May I mod plz?
Nice build! I may make a reconnaissance vehicle off of this chassis.
Now let the upvotes roll in...
