please advice the chassis turns properly but not the wheels....... i parent the the wheels and the body to my mesh, even at a star, with no mesh, the Craft 4-Wheeler Extended set up will do the same... =(...................
ahh ok i think i figure it out, when i star the craft 4 wheeler it comes really big on maya so i take all, group the elements and scale them down to a feaseble size, there is where something goes wrong and the wheels get messup.... so i will reprhase my question, how do i scale the 4wheeler down properly, or how do i get it no to pop up soo big???

Can you post a list of your scene hierarchy? Either in text or as a screenshot. I would guess you've done some strange parenting.

After you've created a Craft 4-Wheeler Extended, select WheelerExt_01_CarBodyMesh and scale it. Since it's the root object, all its children will also be scaled with it.
