Wheeled Collada car problem

Hello,
I have problem with creating wheeled car from 3DS MAX Studio. I have car without wheels and following dummy objects:
- cam
- eye
- hud0
- hud1
- hud2
- hud3
I exported model with OpenCollada exported to DAE and replace in DefaultCar datablock:
shapeFile = "art/test/APC_TREX1_BASE.dae";
But datablock are not loaded now and in console log is not any error. In shape editor I see my nodes cam, eye, hud# ...
Is there some detailed example how to make wheeled car?
Thank you
Jiri

I made node structure matched with default car (base01, start01) but it does not resolve my problem.
I don not have any animations for car. Is it OK? Maybe default car script cannot be used for my car. Default car uses some 'spring#' animations.

If I'm replace shapeFile in WheeledVehicleData datablock (shapeFile = "art/shapes/TestCar/TestCar.dae";) it does not work.

take a look at the example buggy that comes with the engine that should help

WheeledVehicles must have at least one collision mesh (must be convex!) defined. For testing, just create a box that encloses the car and call it "Col-1".
