I have a problem with the 1x1 wheels on the front because, whenever I turn left or right they collide with the front 3x3 wheels eventually making the rover unstable. (I have a mod that modify the wheels' friction, idk if it's that). P.S. I always love your creations

wow thank you very much. hats a realy huge compliment :) glad you like the handling it was one of the most focused feature of the Gaius.

Reporting back after try it for a good ride. What can I say, loved how it handles, size and practicality are superb and top notch convenience. Also looks great. We have another cast winner : D

hello Darth Mord, your correct you cant adjust the wheel height using the slider when there are no wheels or wire frame on the susspension. but you can still ajust them using button and Timerblock commands. by pressing 3 on hotbar 1 in the gaius or manual triggering the Timerblock Timer Block Switch Racing/Offroad [Gaius] you can set the suspension wheel height to mayx on all 6 wheels. after that you can add the wheels if not alredy placed. hope that helps let me know if you tried it and if i can help you with anything else.

You cannot adjust the wheel stats without at least a wire frame wheel on the suspension. If you don't have the wire frame or the wheel itself, the sliders are greyed out.

Hello Darth mord. ajusr rhe wheel heigth to max with button 3 on hotbar 1 and add wheels. make sure there is space from the fround. Hope that helps
Darth Mord 21 Dec, 2020 @ 8:52am 
I tried to build this via blueprint in Survival and I could print everything EXCEPT the wheels.

According to a couple of faction members who have tried this in the past, it's due to the placement of the blocks near the top of the wheels themselves.
