Looks pretty darn awesome! Can't play it well on my laptop, lags a bit, but once i get home i'll re-download and take a look.
Just from what i saw, the suspension looks a little bit weak, perhaps you should fix it?

Actually the suspension is surprisingly strong. I thought i was going to have to add some extra struts originally. Are you playing it in phun? If so that could have a problem with the springs but i dont know, i havent tested it in phun and it works excellently in algodoo (for me) :thumbup:

EDIT: And thanks for the compliments :D

Nah, was using Algodoo. It just looks a little bit "Brittle", as in it shakes a lot, and at certain points, completely snap off. Probably just lag, i'll check again when i get home.

I'm looking forward to seeing some more of your scenes.

I'm running i5-750, no lag either, i was on my laptop earlier.

Well, it's pretty good, but it'd be much, much nice if you didn't gear it down so much :)

Yea it is sort of slow but it can climb a 25-27° incline before the tires just lose grip.

Very nice, but if you geared it higher, it'd be able to go a fair bit faster, and have the speed to make it up short, but more steep inclines.

Do you reckon you could make a sliding-rack for the Gears you have on there, so you could change between the super-low geared, to a medium-high one? If you don't feel like doing it, i could give it a shot when i get home if you like?

Yea i know i could've left out the last gear and make a little bit faster but that was the first time ive messed with something that needed to have a good amount of power and i didn't know exactly how powerful that motor was going to be at the time, and i was tired and unwanting to test it and have it fail so i just took the "easy" route :thumbup:

Anyway about a gearbox, i *COULD* attempt to do something like Java's gearbox but i dont know. And if i were to attempt it i would do it after i finish the crane (which i have no clue why you put just ... as i dont know if thats a good thing of a bad thing) and later tonight.
