I've been trying to make a vehicle with motorized wheels but when I place a motor bolt on a wheel or makeshift wheel it doesn't work so I've been trying to figure out the problem. Does anyone know how to work the motor bolt so when I connect it to the controllinator it moves properly? Thanks.

Might be easier to find the problem if you post a picture

if its not moving make sure its not glued. For controlinator set but to back and fourth

HI Sheer Wolf. First. place your controllinator on a piece of dark matter (or wherever it is for testing purposes). Next place a piece of light matter 5x5 squares and make it thin on the back layer. Place this beside the controllinator. (again, all this is just for testing) now make a piece of wood, 5x5, and 1 layer thick. Place the motorbolt in the centre of this wooden block (or anywhere close). next place lhis wooden piece in front of the light matter, directly on the layer in front (you should hear a riviting sound). THE PIECE WITH THE MOTORBOLT MUST BE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE LAYER YOUR BOLTING IT TOO. (IT EFFECTIVLY BOLTS ONE LAYER TO ANOTHER). Now take a wire from the left/right analoge sticks output and connect it to the input on the motorbolt (centre). Lastly, open the tweak menu for the motor bolt and on input action set it to forward/backward- (this means when you push right it will rotate clockwise-forward, push left it will rotate anti-clockwise-backward). I hope this helps

I think the problem might just be the input method as XxHAMADEHxX and Sean88 have written. If that isn't the case it's likely whatever suspension you've developed so far is causing the issue. The torque that a motor bolt can apply is partly tied to the materials it's bolted to. If your vehicle has thin cardboard suspension but rubber or metal wheels the bolt won't be able to turn as effectively. Changing the materials or beefing up the suspension might solve this. If the vehicle's suspension is made up of connectors like springs and pistons this can also negatively affect how the motor bolt performs. Either some kind of direct linkage with a regular bolt or extra connectors along the horizontal axis of the vehicle might help if that's the problem.

I make wheeled vehicles all the time. Shoot me a friend request and I'll show you what I do to get them moving. As for spring/piston suspension vs physical suspension, I've always had better luck with the former. One way to keep a wheeled vehicle light yet strong is to make your chassis out of cardboard, but your wheel mount out of wood. I like to make my vehicles switch layers and not interfere between layers, so I can also show you how I use the glitched sub- layers to keep my wheels down to one thick layer.
