Vehicle animation question turning off wheel turn

Hi,
i made this sort of tri cycle suture bike. it looks amazing.
is stears by deforming the frame, instead of turning the wheels.
when i add it into toque, the wheels however still turn. can i turn off the wheels from turning on the hubs, but atill allow the vehicle to turn and play the steering animation?
i still bneed the wheels, for power, and so they turn when i drive. but how can i make them stationary and steer using the steer animation?
wow, two different ways of sayintg the same problem....
any help/ideas?

If not, you could possibly make your own version of wheeled vehicle wheels where it uses the wheels to power the vehicle and the handle bar pivot point to steer?
I'm still learning to code, so can't really help much eccept for a possible idea.

Tom, if you own the sdk, you can change it in the engine itself.If not, you could possibly make your own version of wheeled vehicle wheels where it uses the wheels to power the vehicle and the handle bar pivot point to steer?
