There's a little something that I uncovered long ago, but never got around to reporting until now. All the gears have the same mass (Except the rack gear). This makes the 8t gears probably the densest object in the game.
I made a scale to show this concept (the wheel has 50):

I've been thinking that a nice feature would be joints that snap at different angles, like 15ยบ increments, and stay there. I needed angle for a realistic kart steering wheel and I had to use a servo with trim angle and some gears, which ruined the center of mass
Speaking of which, why are gears so dense? Is it for more accuracy, like in Phun/Algodoo?

I think I'll use this page. I've been thinking of 3 or 4 things lately:
-An intermediate wheel size (didn't you make a model? I swear i've seen 3 models on your Twitter perhaps...?)
-Torsion for axles (or a different kind of axle entirely). This'd be for anti-roll bars. Or maybe a spring that can be mounted with 2 axles by the ends?
-Smaller motors, and variables ranging from zero (with that, I mean that I sometimes want a servo with very little torque but I end up using a gearbox to lower torque)
-Worm drives would be too useless, but well, just an idea that popped up on my head

And last but not least, wouldn't it be easier if you had a Spur Gear that you could resize, instead of having to pick the separate sizes? It would be like cycling I think - you pick, for example, a Cone gear, and with shift+A or D you can cycle through the different sizes. then you can copy them with Q if you need many of one type

I'm just voicing my ideas here - you should just keep focused on your main goals for the project and then see if you agree with me on any of these ideas. Wish you good luck.

Very good game you have here. I'm always trying to find games like this one but so far there are just a few (Golems, Algodoo/Phun)
I've got just one question though: Is there any place where we can suggest things/will you accept suggestions in some point? There are a lot of things I find missing, like 32t spur gears and an universal joint for front or back drives, but i'd like to know if you wanna listen to some advice
Keep up the good work! If you sell this once it's done I'll definitely throw you a few bucks
