hi, i'm trying to setup a heavy duty crane that i've built,but i've stopped now, cos i'm wondering how am i supposed to setup the belted wheel,(those similiar to tanks), where should i put the pivot?or what type of constraints?
or by using the hierachy?
i tried parenting and putting th child's pivot same position of the parent's,but the child's shape(one of themany pieces that form a belt)deforms!

anyway, hope u can help solve my problem!
