Omg I already started modeling tracks for Pigeon and told Sam about it. #claimec Sent through the stars by my Galaxy with a Note for you!
This looks awesome :3 I can't wait for more slidenode stuff. Also, if you made a rollback towtruck I'd play this game for hours.. lol
Just got it working, here's the first actual test. EDIT: Here's a good laugh... Covet is quite fat, it's balanced perfectly like this..
Little more weight and tweaking added, now it can lift the D15 (Just, literally, it's on the point of tipping.)
Can the mast be angled back on that? Doesn't look like its angled back as far as many real ones can anyway, really helps load stability. Usually those trucks are designed with the entire drivetrain over the rear axle as a counterbalance against the mass of the load (centre of mass itself approaching the rear axle is good, obvious reasons you never want it past the rear axle), with real heavy loads on some trucks they even add additional masses to the rear. The trucks themselves apparently weigh less than a ton.
Sure can, here's a comparison from normal to pulled back. The weight distribution on this thing is completely off, it was more just a test to practise slidenodes(Never used em', nor in RoR). So basically I made it overweight to account for it. Seems to be working alright.
