• Power from a motor/engine

I was wondering how I can harness the power of an engine or a motor, and transfer them to lets say, a wheel. I was thinking it had something to do with ball-sockets, but I'm not sure entirely on what I should be doing.
[QUOTE=OzJackal;19142971]Adv Ballsocket the crankshaft of an engine to a wheel. The wheel should turn with the motion of the crankshaft.[/QUOTE] Alright, what settings do I need to put the adv ballsocket? Default?
[QUOTE=Tekhsheen;19143057]Alright, what settings do I need to put the adv ballsocket? Default?[/QUOTE] Use Advanced BallSocket. Make all the values 0 And check the two checkboxes at the bottom ^^ Then you should be able to connect wheels to an crankshaft :D But there is a catch. The crankshaft or whatever must be spinning the same direction as the wheels. You cant for example have the shaft like this: ( | ) While the wheels are like this: ( - ) It must be like ( - - - ) not ( - | - ) It will fuck up then. You understand? ^^ And the wheels work much better if you just use wheel props constrained with axis :D
