Putting two steerable wheels on opposite sides of the car causes really weird behavior

12 years ago • updated by 9 years ago • 4

I made a vehicle that was a single long beam on the front of his chair, and a single short beam on the back. Put one steerable wheel on the front-right side of the long beam, and one on the back-left side of the small beam. When you hit go the vehicle starts to flip around wildly without any input. (there is no rockets or anything on this vehicle)

Hmm... doesnt seam to have anything to do with the wheels. It seams like the beams are colliding with the chair, even though they are jointed to it. So they are constantly being pushed away while being connected, and it causes the vehicle to flip around

Can you send a screenshot of the design causing issues to support@crashtastic.com?

actually, remove all wheels and it seams to sit fine. So the wheels (both non steerable and steerable) seam to somehow cause what looks like collision between the chair the beams connected to it

It is hard to answer just by reading your question without watching the model. Although problem seems to be occurring due to position of beams. Please check the position of both beam and make sure they are not colliding with car seat. If they are so, address this problem first. If still some problem occurs then upload the snapshot of your car design and position of steering wheel and its beam. It will be helping in understanding the actual problem.
