  1. This is really cool men!!! Just maybe would be necessary to create a controller to tip sideaway and tip front the car. But this video is awesome, also because the way that you do it is so simple and nice! Thank you! 😀

  2. Really good job on this. I also followed these steps to rig another car, but the problem is, for example I created a curve and attached the car to it and made it follow that curve, when the curve makes a bend towards either left or right, since the wheels roll with respect to "translateZ" of the main controller, they will no longer roll because the orientation would be changed due  to the bend. Do you have a fix for it? How to keep rolling those wheels no matter what direction it is going? Thanks.

  3. Thank you! But I think that is too fast just when I'm doing the box of the controllers. Before and after that is still fast, but not too much. Sorry, I tried to make a way that wasn't boring to watch. Maybe I had exagerated on speed. But I hope you could understand.

  5. Thank you! The expression is: wheel_left_front_GRP.rotateX = (master_CTRL.translateZ / (3.14)) * 450;

    You have to check the number to multiplicate(450). It depend of the size of the wheel.

    The expression still have a little problem. When we rotate Y 180°, the wheel is not rolling correctly. I'm trying to fix that with my teacher.

  6. Major flaw in the rig: The expression you used for the wheels makes them rotate when the car is moved on the original axis, but when the car is rotated the wheels do not roll at the right speed. Any thoughts or fixes?
