use this tutorial for making the tracks
http://poe1.pointofexistence.com/dfast/ ... ax_tut.htm
and this explains how to do the wheels, the pics dont work though

http://poe1.pointofexistence.com/dfast/bf2wheeltut.htm
i was able to get the pics working. He just linked them wrong.
1.right click on an image and say copy image location
2.paste the location in a new window: http://204.11.239.71/dfast/info1.jpg
3.replace http://204.11.239.71/ with http://poe1.pointofexistence.com/

The front is F'ked up. You got some issues there, you can tell by the lighting on it. You might have got some vertexes that "sunk" into the model.

Exactly

Notice how it extends quite a bit over the ground? Yours barely goes over the edge of the front. Just constructive criticism though.

ok np any 1 can help me whit the tracks?

Well, the best bit of advice I can give you now is to not give up. Get LOTS of reference photos, as I know that having many pictures from many angles helps greatly.

As you get better you might want to try revisiting this, it will be a lot better if you stick with it and learn. I just bought this book : http://www.amazon.com/3ds-Max-Bible-Kel ... 23-6335271

See the dedication?

Good luck.

it looks like it is subdividing the tracks or, the original rectangle was subdivide or something like that. try doing it as a simple shape, then work up to the tracks. play around with the different settings when you make them
