IndyCar- 2015 Chevy AeroKit

Auto Credit Based on aircraftarsenal123's Chevy AeroKit

My project for the past week or so. After many failed attempts of replicating an actual IndyCar's suspension, and many hours of blood, work and tears, It's finally done. This car was made to showcase the pushrod suspension (and IndyCars are cool). Take it for a lap or two around gold prix, shouldn't take to long ;). This was a very interesting build for me, and it did take quite a while, so enjoy it. I know I say this with all of my cars, but for right now this is my favorite (until my next build)

Controls-
Throttle: [Pitch]
Steering: [Yaw]
VTOL: Raises and lowers the pushrod suspension. VTOL down to the first notch for best results

Some specs:
0-60: 2 fast 4 U m8
Top speed: 240 mph
Handling: 2.9 Lateral Gs
Overall: My best track car yet

    @aircraftarsenal123 thanks, i turned this car into a 2019 spec Dallara chasis (speedway aero and road aero) and was wondering if it was OK with you to post them. i had been searching for more modern indycars for a while but i didnt think there was anyone willing or interested enough to build one so i did it myself. want to post them for anyone else looking for them as well.

    Mmmmm, not really. What I would do is isolate the moving parts of the rear suspension by nudging them all 2 blocks up from the car, and reconnect the static pieces you want to add to the body. From there if the suspension pieces still fall apart, can isolate each three individual pieces of the suspension at a time and reconnect them separately. When you're done test and nudge everything back. Hope it works out! @Khanskaya

    is there some trick to get the rear suspension pieces to connect? i somehow broke the suspension while adding my own personal touches to the rear and now no matter how hard i try the pieces will not connect, it says they're connected but they just fall apart when i spawn the car in.
