Don't use real ones in Roblox, I know from making my own that they are freaking laggy.

there not laggy you likely just welded them in a way that was not efficient an put too much load on your computer's gpu, either that or your computer is really slow, becuase i've joined games showcasing the capability of using tank tracks on a vehicle

Oh, you mean fake tank tracks?
Real tank tracks, the ones that loop around and actually spin, are glitchy as crap in an actual game. Granted, they've made a few physics improvements since I made them, but I doubt it's enough.

Oh, constraints. Of course. That will do it!
I could still pull it off no doubt, but I might need to do it differently.

The tank in the game you linked is nearly impossible to drive in a straight line and insanely buggy, it took me 3 tries just to get the treads to spawn properly, and then one of the wheels popped out of the tread when driving.

As others have stated, if you're considering making actual tank treads that interact with the physics system, the only correct way to do it is: Just don't.

you have a really slow computer becuase the tank tracks worked perfectly fine for me they were not laggy and the suspension made it easy to drive above bumpy terrain

I'm running an i5 with a GTX 970, and I managed to remain at a consistent 60 FPS throughout the entire game. Pretty sure my computer isn't the problem.

if you had a constant 60fps the entire game that isn't a problem of lag, that a problem of a poor constraint build, and yeah, the first time i spawned a tank vehicle one of the wheels popped out, but thats not a big deal, i just respawned the the tank again and it worked fine again

No, that's a problem of Roblox physics always sucked and their streaming system uses 15x the network of any other game.

Here's the old way. You can figure it out from here I'm sure, if you even need this for constraints. Constraints should make it easier.

A tutorial doesn't exist for everything. Teach yourself, don't expect it on a silver platter.

Your whole system right now seams really cruddy. The vehicles spaz out when they spawn and so does the character. I tried spawning the tank and all the times I tried the tracks were outside the rollers.


What I would suggest is anchoring everything, positioning it, welding/constrainting it, than unanchoring the parts.

The suspension of all the vehicles seams really slow and really loose.
