Weld the base and Strut2 first
The creator description corrects the Sandbox name to Strut2 and says to weld it before the electric motor. Keep the base flat and the drive assembly centered.

01DIRECT ANSWER
Direct answer
Weld Strut2 to the base before the electric motor, place the motor between the left and right brake-disc areas, then add power, controlboard, seat, wiring, and wheels. That order comes from an August 24, 2026 creator tutorial and its written correction. The same source warns that motor orientation can reverse movement, the electric assembly has no suspension in the demonstrated build, and the generator needs refueling.

What supports each answer
No independent gameplay test for How to Make a Custom Car in A desrt: this answer is based on public Roblox records and dated public footage. Video observations are credited to their creators and never presented as this site's own playtest.
How to read the evidence labels on this page
The badges beside each claim use one site-wide five-state method. Read all five definitions and the source hierarchy.
| Field | Current answer | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Correct part label | Strut2 in Sandbox; the creator explicitly corrects Strut in an August 24, 2026 video | Shown in a dated video |
| Build order | Base → Strut2 → electric motor → generator → controlboard → seat → wiring → wheels in the dated demonstration | Shown in a dated video |
| Motor position | Between the left and right brake-disc areas in the August 24, 2026 build | Shown in a dated video |
| Universal compatibility | Other bases, motors, loads, and server builds may behave differently | Not confirmed |
03 / BEFORE YOU START
What you need
- Base
- One stable object large enough for the demonstrated assembly
- Drive
- Strut2, electric motor, brake-disc areas, wheels, and tyres
- Power
- Generator and fuel for the demonstrated path
- Control
- Controlboard, seat, buttons or toggles, and linker tool
03A / VISUAL ROUTE
See the whole route before starting
This original 6-stage map summarizes How to Make a Custom Car in A desrt. Use the detailed steps and timestamped ledger below for scope and verification.
- 01Weld the base and Strut2 first
The creator description corrects the Sandbox name to Strut2 and says to weld it before the electric motor.
- 02Place the electric motor carefully
Around 00:50, the tutorial positions the motor between the left and right brake-disc areas.
- 03Add generator, controlboard, and seat
The tutorial adds the generator behind the drive assembly, then a controlboard and seat near the controls.
- 04Wire start and movement paths
Connect the generator through the demonstrated button or toggle path, then map W/S and A/D through the controlboard.
- 05Install wheels and tyres
Around 03:20, wheels and tyres are placed into the electric engine brake parts.
- 06Test the known limitations
Run a short flat route, reverse, turn, and stop.
04 / PLAYER STEPS
Follow the demonstrated path
Each sourced detail stays within what the linked record actually shows; open questions remain labelled.
- 01
- 02
Place the electric motor carefully
Around 00:50, the tutorial positions the motor between the left and right brake-disc areas. The creator warns that the wrong orientation can reverse the turn direction.
- 03
Add generator, controlboard, and seat
The tutorial adds the generator behind the drive assembly, then a controlboard and seat near the controls. Test that the structure remains stable after each weld.
- 04
Wire start and movement paths
Connect the generator through the demonstrated button or toggle path, then map W/S and A/D through the controlboard. Reuse the one-path-at-a-time method from the Logic guide.
- 05
Install wheels and tyres
Around 03:20, wheels and tyres are placed into the electric engine brake parts. Verify each side before loading the vehicle.
- 06
Test the known limitations
Run a short flat route, reverse, turn, and stop. The creator reports no suspension on this electric build and a generator that consumes fuel, so test bumps and refueling separately.
05 / SUCCESS CRITERIA
What counts as a confirmed result
- Strut2 and motor orientation are recorded before wiring.
- The generator powers one repeatable movement path.
- W/S and A/D produce the intended paired responses.
- The unloaded build completes two short flat-route tests without a new part detaching.
06 / TROUBLESHOOTING
If the expected result does not appear
The car turns the wrong way
Return to the motor orientation and one A/D path. The reviewed tutorial explicitly warns about reversed behavior from placement.
The build stops after working
Inspect generator fuel before rewiring. Power depletion and connection failure are separate causes.
The vehicle breaks over bumps
Remove cargo and slow down. The demonstrated electric assembly is described as having no suspension.

Custom car Strut2 correction and assembly
The August 24, 2026 creator description corrects Strut2 and the footage shows motor placement, generator, controlboard, seat, wiring, and wheel assembly.
Basic Logic movement mapping
A separate August 22, 2026 tutorial shows the same W/S/A/D controlboard approach in a smaller working assembly.
09 / QUICK QUESTIONS
Common questions
Is the part called Strut or Strut2?
The reviewed creator description says the Sandbox name is Strut2 and corrects the earlier Strut wording.
Why does my custom car move backward?
Check motor orientation and the W/S paths separately. The tutorial warns that incorrect placement can reverse movement.
Does the demonstrated electric car have suspension?
The creator describes that build as having no suspension. That does not prove every custom design has the same limitation.
