    Hello,

    I am having a problem with the wheel joint component. I am trying to move a monster truck using the wheel joint motors. No matter what I do, the truck does a wheelie upon accelerating. Initially, I had the speed set to 1200 and max motor force set to 200. The monster truck was flying, which I am assuming has to do with the sudden force from the wheels. To try and alleviate this, I tried having the maximum motor force lerp from 0 to 200. It did help to an extent, but the truck still does a wheelie unless I tilt it by adding torque to it. What else can be done? I have embedded a video which shows the problem (at 0:13).
