Are you pressing the surface button and then selecting it?

Also, this is the official madcar site:

Very flashy indeed. There's a sample scene there with a pre rigged car and a help file that tells you what everything does.

Just select the madcar object (the little triangle thing) and scroll down to the surface button. Press the surface button and select your ground plane. Then press update surface.

That's the sample scene isn't it? You shouldn't have to do any of that stuff you did at the start of your movie, it's already done for you. Just load up the file, select the little triangle madcar object and scroll down and click update surface. Then you're ready to drive.

youtube compression is rubbish but you can sort of make it out.

No worries, have fun. Let me know if you want a tute on how to set up your own car.

Hey, thanks. If you have the time I'll love a good tut. Since i dint have much luck with the original. Really had problem with the measuring of the axles, dint know on what view to do it to get an exact measurement. It always came out uneven. It will really help if you do a tut. Thanks

Just regarding this tute, I'm having some videocard trouble at the moment so consequently I'm experiencing horrific crashes when I run max in DX mode. To get around this I'm running it in OpenGL which is a lot slower - too slow for a madcar tutorial. I'll whip one up when I've got it all sorted.

yeah, no problem bro . take your time.
and talking about crashes, my 3ds max also been crashing a lot. weird.
