    Hello all

    I am looking for the 'proper' way to create a car with realistic wheels that rotate, and get propel by spinning.

    Do I do a wheel collider and then in script make the wheels turn?

    Do I use joints?

    What is the proper way, and if anybody has links to some tutorials that would be great. I am trying to create a simple car that has realistic wheels that can move across terrain.

    This looks great!
    I will be doing these today.

    frankrs: Yes, I got it working without linking them to the wheels! I just need to figure out now how to make them physically turn when I press the A/D keys. I am sure I can figure it out through script.

    If you follow how it is made by the user in the videos, you can see scripting the player, car setUp, AI car scripts, paths scripts etc... just take your time.
