    We went for something crazy haha. Suspension on ours is going to be adapted from other cars on the forum. I took the rule of "no editing a bolide" and "original" to meen that it had to not be a bog standard H series cargo box uplift with 10 thrusters that weighed 1kg and had no drag.

    This is our chassis as it stands (its a retro entry, we thought the 70's land speed cars looked much cooler), you can see its nothing like the pick-up its based of.

    Technically you don't need suspension. Mine is locked solid.

    Wheels? Node and beam wheels are generated... you mean tire and rim beam values?

    Pics of the vehicle?

    Also, why is the RPM so low? Did you just glitch really badly?

    the car was the rocket bolide with upgraded thrusters, it tore apart at 800 mph and froze physics at this time.

    It has to be your own vehicle, and I hope now that your post (the I win one) was sarcastic. :) Also if this quotes someone named Alastair, I have no idea why it does. If not, then my phone is on something.

    Dafuq it quoted a thread from back in 2012. It is definitely my phone doing some dergs. XD

    Why is the RPM so low, the gears in neutral, and no HP/torque?

    you have to custom make your OWN vehicle, so it's own jbeam, own model, and so on, NOT, modded vehicles that are already in-game

    It was just a joke, with sarcasm. to be clear, it was some kind of glitch and I didn't actually win.
    I thought the winky face was enough.
