    Bad stinking news.. Apparently the top speed for the wheels chosen is about 45 to 50 mph, otherwise they start bouncing around, and no fin tool or ballsocket can ensure maximum traction.. it looks like the delorean won't be going 88 mph.. Atleast, not untill it can fly.
    this is why i hate those phx wheels, but people whine and complain when i use the good custom wheels because they can't see them

    Great Scott.

    But anyway, this looks amazing, I hope you finish it.

    it has something to do with the limitations of Source's rotations a second.. Once it gets too high it stops keeping track of all the Collisions it's producing. A larger diameter wheel spins slower to attain the same speed.. So at sources max rotation rate, it'd gain much greater speed.. But i'm not going to make a 115 mph Monstor truck delorean.. o.O ..... Yet.

    Oh ya, been fiddling around with the chassis to optimize the car's performance.. right now i'm working on it's Sound, i think i have the way it handles down.. The thing can make drift circles around Flatgrass 08's platform =D Here's a shot of the final chassis and the cosmetic engine:
