I came up with this trying to create an ultimate off-road vehicle.
The 4-section 16-wheel body allows it to go almost anywhere and explore places your normal off-road car simply won't reach. Controllable joints improve the performance even more by allowing you to rise and rotate sections. Not only this helps in overcoming obstacles, it also allows the vehicle to recover from being completely upside down (takes practice though).
Controls:
Pitch for forward and reverse
Roll and Yaw to steer
Activation Groups 1-3 to engage joint controls; VTOL to rise sections, Trim to rotate them.
AG4 to turn on the lights
No modding was used except for cockpit block and steering wheel

Yep ur welcome@iwannabeelected
@Diloph haha, yeah, it can do this :) Thank you for upvote!
BRO when u spawn at WRIGHT AIRPORT go straight towards the mountain, ITS SO GOOD cus I CLIMBED OVER IT , jumped it, and landed upside down
Yay, 5000! Thank you @TheRealTDawg
@landspeedcreator well not as long as most of my builds, but testing and adjusting was a little nightmare. Thanks
Bet this took a while to build. Just for that reason I'll upvote
@Smasher thanks!
@iwannabeelected its in the successor
@iwannabeelected just uploaded the upgraded version thats sorta mobile friendly
@Smasher sure, leaf springs are a good idea
@iwannabeelected what would you think about leaf springs i think they'd good for replica's
@Smasher oh I perfectly get it. It's the only thing I really hope they will implement in the next update.
@iwannabeelected i wish you could adjust the engines torque and top speed aswell as the hp if you get what i mean
@Smasher interesting information, thanks
@iwannabeelected one thing ive noted is now its a rigid frame you could make a tatra 815 the suspension is really similar to yours
@iwannabeelected dont worry I sorted it its now a rigid frame
@Smasher I can also remove any parts you find unnecessary for your build
@Smasher if you can wait an hour or so I could make a version without rescaled parts for you
@iwannabeelected no its not that is any rescaling modification alway make my game a little more unstable its because of extra code it just means ive got to remove more parts and its a pain to swap cockpits so i just remove more parts instead so swaping cockpits is more or less a last resort as its such a pain and theres no steering wheel so imagin a rc vehicle sorta
@Smasher the only things that was rescaled are cockpit and steering wheel. Replace the cockpit with your own and remove the steering wheel and it should be ok. The problem also may be in large amount of wheels.
@iwannabeelected ill say this did you use the rescaling mod ? Because my game became extremely unstable that means im gonna have to remove more part than i normally do and it only just crashed about 50 seconds ago
@Smasher sure, feel free to make any cool thing you want
@iwannabeelected also make it mobile friendly
@iwannabeelected mind if i make a 8×8 trials truck like this ------>https://m.youtube.com/?hl=en-GB&gl=GB#/watch?v=GRwkZ7MCepI
