You DON'T want to put engines directly on the drive shaft, because they will be dead weight when your car goes above their max speed! Always put them behind the transmittion, so they can work all the way through. Also, your top speed does not matter, if you can't even reach it because of weight and air resistance! If your engines are too weak, they won't be able to accelerate past the air resistance, even if your theoretical top speed might be lightspeed. For example, your new car had a top speed of 500, but you never went above 200 because you didn't have enough acceleration.

@ryushoyosei5711 Месяц назад

I was wondering if he would notice this, because that's why he isn't geetting much improvement int he end gears, because they don't start at the -actual main shaft- but int he middle of the drive >.

@InjusticeG Месяц назад

Also during the monarch race, he was in first gear almost the entire time without actually shifting. So all the gearing was basically dead weight except a short amount of time on one straight

@freehunter2500 Месяц назад

☝🤓

@Kinertia Месяц назад

Yup. it is very important to remember air resistance, weight, downforce, and the unimportance of max speed. The best vehicle that i have designed (2nd place S class for the windmill race, 69th place Secret Queen) only has a single electric motor & engine mounted with a 3:1 gearing directly to the driveshaft (no gear-shift at all). The max speed may only be around 190, but it can quickly accelerate to that speed, and the downforce on the vehicle allows it to maintain incredible traction while traveling corners at high speed

@sjoervanderploeg4340 Месяц назад

No, you don't reach a higher top speed because you lack power (torque) in high gear... So you need different gearing and/or more power. I generally like to use just one engine...

My personal Fastest car has gotten to 440kmh and the fastest I've seen (if I remember this right) is 680 or 690kmh, but it also has a ridiculous 8-gear transmission. Going nearly twice as fast as this will definitely break some records... and the game physics.

@thesunnynationg Месяц назад

that is actually really hard on this game.

@maxdenor1459 Месяц назад

because of the realistic aerodynamics it's much harder do do this than other games. the way you have to build if you want to accelerate that fast makes you big and complex, and the complexity ends up ruining aerodynamics i have 4 vehicles that in the stats say they can go up to 900+ km/h but non can do it in practice because the stats don't take into account the drag with the air

@ollierinko9387 Месяц назад

99% of the time in the Secret Queen race, you were only using first gear. At points, you dipped into gear 2 before instantly going on the breaks. Less top speed, shorter gearing and more acceleration is the way to go.

@FoXy-gr2hb Месяц назад

Those first gears coming out of the engines should be 1:1. Big to small gear there was a mistake

@Grunk-ik9os Месяц назад

Planetary gears are just a compact form of gear reduction. This is what power drills use. An average cheap electric motor has high speed and low torque, a planetary gearbox converts the excess speed into torque.

@markpullman785 Месяц назад

@@sethcushman5454 the gear that the axle goes through go spinny. The wheels around it go spinny at same speed. That make the big gear go fast spinny because the contact points on a gear must go the same speed, and if a small gear spins a large wheel the large wheel goes fast. That is the best explanation I can give, many RU-vid videos explain it better.

@Grunk-ik9os Месяц назад

@@sethcushman5454 Basically, the planetary gears (the ones between the sun and ring gear) are getting spun around the ring gear by the sun gear. Because the ring gear is much larger than the planetary gears are, it takes many rotations to make 1 revolution. That is how it reduces the speed. Imagine a car driving around a loop: the engine is propelling the wheels, which is driving the car around the loop. However, the engine has to rotate several times before the wheels rotate once, and the wheels have to rotate several times before the car revolves around the loop one time.

@Mettorm Месяц назад

If you ever want to shift your power curve from either high acceleration to high top speed or vice versa, try changing the wheel size. Big tires are better for high top speeds and small give better acceleration. This can be easier than changing the whole gear system.

@Gollet95 Месяц назад

Have found out that just ignoring the gearbox works too, doing a medium gear to a small gear and into planetery gear gives around 200-250 km/h area of speed while being between 23 and 31 in the acceleration with a nice smooth curve because there are no gears, add on a ton of downforce and its a pretty good vehicle, have only made it 4wd so far, never tried a rwd one yet

You issue with the gearbox was using a big gear paired with a medium gear, the gears fit nicer if you use the either "big- small, med-med, small-big" or "small-medium, 90°-90°, medium-small"

@samuelcornett1307 Месяц назад

The gearbox was over-complicated, which is understandable given how little hand holding this game does. The most "space efficient" shaft off of a three shifter without a planetary gear is shifter, small gear, large gear, medium gear. The receiving shaft is medium gear, space, small gear, space, large gear. The gear shifter shifts in power order, not gear order.

Take the front axle off! Unless you're powering it, you do not want your two front wheels to be mechanically linked because during a corner the outside wheel will naturally spin faster than the inside. If you link them, you lock them together and create understeer.

@fantoman6564 Месяц назад

30:54 It's not that you're too heavy, but you're only turning the rear wheels. If you axle towards the front wheels, you'll get better stats and spin less when you brake.

@Altysta_gaming Месяц назад

You could try to go from big to small (as you have now) and after that connect two shaft directly (cut the planetary gearbox). That should give you more acceleration at the cost of top speed (but this is good exchange as on current map such speed is practically undoable). Also If you have weight too much on back and you would prefer to have it more on the front you could rotate whole vehicle and just correct the spoilers/steering wheels. Love to see longer video! Great series!

@MrMattkid Месяц назад

Gotta say this again scrap, when you use gears to increase speed you lose power, less power means slower acceleration but higher max speed. You need to start with a 1:1 gear ratio into your transmission, even a big gear into a small gear wouldn't be bad, that would increase your initial torque.

@dragade101 Месяц назад

@18:25, usually with gearing, you are choosing high torque or high RPM. Not both (unless physics can be suspended for a day lol). We see this in milling machines. There are high RPM machines which are great for drilling smaller holes, using small cutting bits and a similar kind of motor that CNC machines uses. Where if you want a massive cutting head, O.D. is ~10 cm, then you want torque and a modest RPM for removing quite a bit of material in one cut. Say if you were to put a 10cm cutting head on a high RPM hobby mill; that mill would not be able to really remove any material (compared to a high torque machine). Engines are no different. However if you only have a high RPM engine, you can gear that down to make the desired torque. Maybe your car is heavy and you need the high initial torque before you switch from a high torque to low torque and high RPM (a high top speed).

I got a little over half way through the video before I got inspired to build something myself. 3 engines in the front (1 of them electric) going backwards into a static shaft. 3-gearshift on the side that transfer power from the driveshaft through 3 sets of gears and then back to a central axle, as well as a huge axle going on top of the entire car to the front wheels for 4WD. Street suspension with small dirt tires. And of course a few aerodynamic thingies. Super nice curve, 37 m/s2 acceleration, and a top speed of 245km/h. Almost impossible to spin out, and as long as you don't over do it, the car is basically glued to the road. Managed to get gold on every single track except the final long jump and the carry items one. Definitely my best car yet. Not the fastest, but the overall best to race with.

I’m gonna make a recommendation. The original car you started the episode with, use that. Make sure to replace all engines with the best engine you can. Also, like you said in last episode, you planned on using a 3 gear on the unused side to help smooth out the transition from high acceleration to high top speed. Then go and get gold, and also check the supersonic map because that has some races. Then you can try dumb stuff, like supersonic vehicle, flying vehicle, etc. 5:55 you can still put turbines on these smaller engines Also, you should have checked the map, as the gas600 one unlocks a gas1000 one on the map that is just straight up better Edit: 16:04 NOOOO PLEASE GO CHECK THE MAP FIRST. Always check the map before a monarch, after a monarch, and before you start building anything. Also, 20:07 I have no clue what you mean here. Wait never mind I’m dumb Also also, at 21:10, just make them be 2 separate axles, problem silved Edit number ? This comment is getting long, and 27:35 PUT CAPACITORS. Also, how has he not thought to just remove the planet gears. That might work well. 34:23 the other one, because you didn’t put a 3 gear to improve it like you said you would last time, and also you didn’t get to its top speed and it has better acceleration.

Can you try to do some really crazy stuff, like Koenigsegg level? Like, try to build a vehicle with the following requirements: - Each wheel should have a direct independent electric motor, or two if you want. They can be placed via 1:1 gears. - Then, the main powertrain should have 6 or 8 gas engines placed in the middle going into 2 shift gearbox: small to small and medium to small. - At the end of the gearbox, have a planetary gear going to the end of the powertrain to the wheels. Should be fun to drive :)

@Pystro Месяц назад

The 1-to-2.3 of the planetary gears is incredibly useful. Without them, you have trivial access to the gear ratios: 1:1.00 [y^0.00] A 1:1.67 [y^1.90] B = 3:5 1:3.00 [y^4.10] C 1:5.00 [y^6.00] D 1:9.00 [y^8.19] E=C² = 1:3² 1:1.80 [y^2.19] E=C/B = 5:3² (within 8% of B) 1:1.08 [y^0.29] F=E/B=C/B² = 5²:3³ (within 8% of A) 1:3.24 [y^4.38] G=F*C=C²/B² = 5²:3^4 (within 8% of C) ... Yes, you can _theoretically_ make many in-between gear ratios, but it will require chaining a lot of 25:27 ratios. But now with: 1:2.30 [y^3.11] H You can access ratios that nicely sit in between them: 1:1.30 [y^0.99] J=H/B = 2.3:3 (this is an especially nice ratio) 1:3.91 [y^5.08] K=E/H = 2.3:3² 1:6.90 [y^7.20] L=C*H = 1:3*2.3 1:11.5 [y^9.11] M=D*H = 1:5*2.3 I would build my gearbox with a first stage choosing between 1:1.00 and 1:1.30, then a second stage choosing between 1:1.00 and 1:1.67 (built as a stage choosing between 3:3 and 3:5), and a third stage choosing between 1:1.00 and 1:3.00 and 3.00:1 (or their inverses as needed to get the shift points into a good range of speeds). This would give a speed/advantage difference of 20-fold between highest and lowest gear, which should cover every condition. The numbers in square brackets are my attempt at putting the ratios on a logarithmic scale with close-to-integer values. y=5^(1/6)

@steeljawX Месяц назад

I'm not sure if having the shifters going parallel or opposed is better. You have them parallel, meaning at most you can shift the gears on one shifter and then just revert all of that with minor changes with the second one. If you have them opposed, you should be able to configure something where you get differing results when each shifts. It's just it takes a lot of balancing of where neutral zones (I don't know the technical term but the places on the shifting axle where power is supposed to run through them but not engage with a ratio change they're supposed to impart) still work. You do know that the electric engines have a max acceleration and that your geared shaft is exceeding that acceleration, meaning you're losing acceleration potential because you put those engines on proceeding shafts. Also, it kind of makes the geared shaft moot because after the top speed the geared shaft can carry the vehicle, it's basically like one of your first builds where you had straight geared axles to your wheels....but then you even went further than that and maimed it further with axles straight on the rear axles. That's basically like giving a starter car a bit of a boost. Yeah, the numbers say it's a lot better, but the numbers in the game also says that your gearing doesn't matter and your wheels will always spin forward.

i think the planetary gears had three potential speed options, because the exterior of the "orbital" ring which kept the three smaller gears in place has teeth on the outside, which i noticed when you got the secret queens chassis, which means, you can put an orbital on a gear shift 2, and it can connect to a straight output for 2.3, or shift back to another gear on a side axle which can connect forward to the inline axle it just disconnected from. this would give you two immediate gears to shift between, and if you put another gear shift to connect to the input shaft of the orbital, you then mulitply how many potential gears you can shift through, which may help smooth out your speed graph.

@davidsiatatgaming Месяц назад

If you look up images of the insides of a gearbox you can see that there's different sized gears galore on 2 axles all unaligned and the rods moved by the shifter that align them in pairs, at least that's how i make my drivetrains in this game, slap gears on an axles until different ratios each line up in every position of the shifter block

@gilbertlabonte5095 Месяц назад

also on a side note, 4wd vs rear or front wheel drive makes a HUGE difference on stability. the same car with massive torque with RWD will wheelie and kill ya, FWD will spin out and you cant steer, 4wd will keep it grounded but be somewhat halfway between not accelerating and not steering. Again, this makes sense since there are not REAL differentials in this game so it's like driving with locked differentials, which doesn't provide the best conditions for anything unless you either drifting or going in a straight line. That's why i've starting building "niche" vehicles for specific purposes at this point.

I saw a guy make a 600mph car in this game with like 1150ish hp with a really amazig gearbox thingy first he built like an engine then a car around it altho he had like 6 gearshift or 7

@gilbertlabonte5095 Месяц назад

I quit the game just a bit before the secret queen so i still have some things to do, but i've tested all the rest so far. The planetary gearbox are quite aggressive and can give alot of torque or top speed depending what side you put what on. I tried 4 planetaries for overdrive and lost massive acceleration but had an estimated top speed over 2000 km/h with just the blue electric motors. From testing, mixing gas and electric can be helpful or detrimentary and often depending on how you set up your gearing you're better off using just electric or gas and not doing a hybrid. Also for the same orignal gearing, adding engines in certain places makes better stats on the graph, but translate to worse times and speed when actually driving because it holds back the gearshifts, which does kind of make sense. IRL when an electric motor overspeeds, it becomes restrictive and goes into a "regeneration" mode of sorts, which robs power on whatever engine is trying to make it spin faster than it should. So my advice is to not go off of just the chart numbers when in build mode, as quite often it screws it up for you when you actually drive it. For example, i've had a car go around 260 on the big straight with just electric engines, but adding some gas engines made the graph better and torque curves better on the graph but actually made me lose around 45 km/h on the speed trap at the end of the straight. You have to test and actually not look at that graph too much, as it seems to just be theoretical on not follow the actual game physics, which often leads to overcomplication for worse results. So far the best bet has been to adhere to the KISS principle. Keep It Simple, Stupid. XD

@Pystro Месяц назад

In the last race (at 31:20) you stayed in the speed range from 28 to 230 km/h. (With the exception of the start, the hairpin and the few times you spun out.) It seems like you should get the best results if you entirely focused on that part of the power graph. [edit: that means get the acceleration as high as possible in that range.] I mean, having gears that give you good performance outside of that range won't really hurt a lot, but they're a little bit of extra dead weight.

@-private8214 Месяц назад

one biig thing to watch out for, don'T put rotating axles thru the static holes on gearshifts, theres a bug that makes the game think theyre connected to the rotating part of the gearshift thats what caused you to jump so wierdly

@whatchamac4llit464 Месяц назад

The most simple gear box I’ve made is on a single axle, running next to the drive shaft. All gears are medium sized gears. It goes “engines

Dont worry Scrap A - B was weird for me too. The Final Boss Race is my favorite. I hold somewhere in 170s currently. Its now down to just small adjustments which is insane. You know instantly when you messed up and need to restart the whole thing haha.

@user-vy2yz6ei3u Месяц назад

suggestion on how to fix the planetary gears dilemma, you can just hook one with a direct connection to it, but make it so once a curtaint gear is reached it disconnects, and on the other side you have a planetary gear that connects via a gear shifter

@notavailable2676 Месяц назад

In my limited knowledge and gameplay, i have managed to build a veichle that consistently gets gold on every race. The tips I could give, try to keep your veichle as small as possible, air resistance is a big thing. Anything under 100 is decent. Smaller veichles are also easier to control, and don’t need that much downforce. Changing wheels has a huge effect on it as well. My best result from the uphill acceleration is with the small race wheels. As far as engines, I had 2 top electric ones and 4 top gas ones, with the gas being direct and the electric on an increase, meaning one rotation of the drive shaft would be less than one rotation on the electric. Also, look at the map when you flip upside down in the air, your cursor is 3D ☝️🤓

gears are magical in this game, it doesnt matter what direction are they spinning, they will just spin

@dragade101 Месяц назад

Planetary gears are a compact way of arranging gears. In a simple planetary gear set: since your ‘sun’ gear is centralised, the orbiting planet gears do not need axles as the outer gear keeps the planets engaged to the sun. (if you want the most simplified anatomy of a gear set, thinking only about one cross section of a planetary gear set). Wikipedia dives into the weeds here as well.

The speed trap isn't part of the race course itself, but a part of the environment instead. The road that you would approach it from was blocked by the stands.

What about a "Transport Vehicle Evolution Race" Rules: 1. You start of with 26 power core but you gain 8 with each evolution 2. Winner becomes the prime vehicle to modify and enhance 3. You are allowed to destroy parts and modify but not allowed to destroy the whole transport vehicle 4. Winner is determined by who can bring two metal containers from point A to point B the quickest 5. Contestants must go one at a time as per safety reasons (Crashing basically)

@coryman125 Месяц назад

I actually beat the monarch by going really simple. One of those blue electric engines, two gears- one to about 120, one to 300- and the big street suspensions nearly touching in the middle. It was tiny, had like 150ish newton metres of torque, and barely ever even went into second gear. But it was SO stable and nimble easy to drive, especially with all the down force. As fun as it is building monstrosities with 2000nm and three or four gears, I actually think I prefer making little ones like that. That said, I only won with about a second and a half to spare. Should either have changed the gears around or removed them entirely.

Gears don't conflict in this game, so you didn't need to worry about that when you were building your car.

To improve acceleration you can remove the weights and remove the spoilers in the back

If you decide to make vehicles in creative here is a challenge: Make a car that can break the sound barrier. spoiler: I somehow broke the game and instead of going forward my car is just flipping in place and when I bugged under the terrain on the supersonic test map I constantly gained speed just by freefalling and heard the sonic boom twice.

@justinpatterson5291 Месяц назад

Hi @Scrapman. If the gears let you mount and transmit power diagonally- you could build a gear driven CVT. Two stacks of gears facing each other, small to large- (a)synchronously pushed together to change gear ratios.

@justinpatterson5291 Месяц назад

Comment edit works weird. Replied to own post instead... Use gear shifters to space the two apart for going up and down gears. Alongside the two that push the sets together so they mesh nicely, rather than- what would otherwise tear the teeth off. Also @ScrapMan
