    I'm building a Hill Climb Racing type game and I'm trying to achieve a burnout effect when accelerating with the car. So far, even if my acceleration is very high, the car will start moving fast and the wheels just rotate fast, instead of doing a small burnout before actually doing a grip.

    Anyone able to assist with this? If it's possible to achieve it with 2D stuff.

    Use hinge joint instead of wheel joint :)

    thanks, I tried using HingeJoint2D it but I still get the same behavior :(
    Using HingeJoints, I also loose the ability to use JointSuspentions.
    Any ideas of what settings could give that effect?

    Use material in wheel. which will give bouncy effect.

    btw I'm also using CircleCollider2D and not Wheel Collider, since I'm trying to keep it 2D

    I think rigidbody2D attached with those wheel sprite.
    use physics material in that rigidbody2D.

    the bounciness isn't really my problem. it's about trying to achieve that burnout effect on the wheels when starting from stationary position, or when climbing some hills.
    But I'm afraid I can't achieve that without using WheelColliders. But for that I would have to convert everything to 3D rigidbodies and colliders :(
