I got nowhere with this concept of attaching the yellow / blue connectors to the objects to be connected then just using the pink 'hub' centred to the middle of a wheel. Just could not get it to work how I wanted.
In the end I did the following.
1) Created a box (with an actual centre point locked to a grid dot)
2) Created a cylinder the same size as the box (again with the centre of the cylinder locked to the same grid dot line)
3) Lined up the bolt connector like a shaft (yellow on the square, blue on the 'wheel' with pink lined up directly in between).
I then had a wheel attached to a box, which I just cloned 4 times for each wheel on the car. Attached a controller chip to the back of the car, wired up buttons for forward and reverse, and then grouped the lot. This worked fine so I now have a car chassis that goes back and forth.
The thing i'm trying to solve now is to make the front wheels steer (which I was going to do by having the front wheels pivot vertically around the other centre point of that cube). I think I might end up having to switch to cylinders instead of cubes as these won't hit each other in the front space where the front wheels are.
God this is so hard though, I can see why most Dreams early levels with vehicles in them really suck and why people mostly don't even do proper 'steering' on their vehicles either.
