    - USE SHIFT + E!
    Using this nifty little combo will not only straighten the prop your holding to a 45 degree angle, but it will improve the overall look of your contraption.

    - Not too many welds.
    Welding everything to everything generally won't improve the strength, but it will increase the lag. Instead weld everything to the props that are very heavy and in the centre. Then attach thrusters, hoverballs, wheels etc, to that heavy prop.

    - Use no-collide.
    Yes this somewhat contradicts my weld statement... but it beats a tornado of props that used to be that nice contraption you were testing out.

    -When using wheel tool.
    With Wheel tool gun, the wheels it spawns are entities and not props. This makes them more prone to sinking; as when they are at 10000 torque, they will defiantly sink. By using the axis tool to prop-wheels, and thrusters.. your wheels won't sink as much.
