    This is just the wheels, I’m unable to show the entire product.

    The goal is to get them both to rotate at the same time (no issue here)

    Have directional control of the front (so they turn together)-still working on that, I currently have independent control (two sliders)

    The issue is the rotational point to move forward/backward is different than the rotational point for turning.

    I’ve been unable to solve this.

    I’d appreciate any help and I can upload the wheels file if it helps.

    So, you will have to do some expresso rigging to get this to work.

    So for the font (Castors) Not the wheels use the look at controller. It might save you some work.

    For the all of the wheels you’ll have to use expresso. So Math (PI), Negate and rotation on each wheel.

    I hope this makes sense.

    Thank you Allan. I’m unfortunately not well versed other than some basics. If you’re interested I’m willing to reimburse you for your time if this is something you have time or are interested in.
