Physics Toolbox problems or is it?

Project requires very fast fans in tunnel. I have been working with the physics toolbox to rotate the fans (large exhaust fans) in the tunnel. I can't get the speed up beyond a turtle creep. I did the advanced thing with speed and multiplier and still the max speed is 30.

Maybe this is a bug, maybe that is top speed. I don't know, but it won't work as is.
Yes, I can do this with the timeline I am sure, but it is annoying to think after almost two years I finally have a use for the toolbox and what I need doesn't cut it.

I looked for some video tutors, I even looked at some content items that use the motor A and they don't work any faster either.

Anyway, if you know the secret...I would appreciate, if you would share it. :w00t:

Once the physics simulation has generated it's animation file. You could go to the timeline and adjust the speed of the animation by "shorting/squeezing" the animation clip. Then be sure to turn off the physics simulation.

Right..

I was thinking it was going to be my timeline problem.

Think I'll just blow of the physics and rotate the fans with keyframes.

Not that really matters, but thirds will work as well as fourths.:)

For a better "Looping" rotation... Try 0, 179, 358, 0 Then copy and paste
