    Hello
    Currently I have a WA900 Front End Loader. The chassis is split, front and rear and the front wheels do not steer, the front chassis steers. I searched for chassis steering, hinged joint steering all over the web. Nothing covers getting the model to steer via front chassis while all wheels are stationary (no scrub radius).

    Is the solution to use wheel colliders for front as Parent, but rotated 90degrees tied to the front chassis? Or is this a hinged joint setup? If anyone could point me in the right direction would be helpful, or even some examples of using chassis steering verse wheels.

    Thanks!

    I suppose I might answer my own question. Would the best approach be to animate the WA900 the same as a 3d character and then tie animation to keys?
