Tip for Long Jumps: The downforce from the spoilers might be the reason you are not improving your distance, Try making smaller and lighter cars with electric engines as they give a lot of acceleration.

A fun little bit of engineering. At 18:00 the green car's "airbrake" isn't an airbrake really. It's the rear spoiler that lifts up when they stop accelerating. Downforce towards the back of a vehicle helps keep the car straight for efficient acceleration and plenty of grip, whereas downforce towards the front causes more sensitive turning. By lifting the back spoiler out of the way like that they're shifting their downforce forward at-will for the best of both worlds.

@omerbilir3784 12 күн бұрын

formula 1 does the opposite: when they are accelerating they reduce downforce and when they are cornering they increase the downforce why is that?

@yayeetmeoffacliff4708 12 күн бұрын

@@omerbilir3784 DRS, as the name suggests, reduces drag ON THE STRAIGHTS. This is because the downforce created by an F1 car creates drag, thus limiting the top speed of the car. DRS reduces that drag by turning the rear wing into a straight aerofoil (basically), which reduces drag and increases top speed. DRS is off when cornering because F1 cars need the downforce to turn well. Additionally, F1 cars have the acceleration to basically mitigate the drag from the downforce at lower speeds.

One huge tip I can give you for many gear ratios in a car: Have a neutral axis in between two axles that are on gear shifters, like your first car, but make it so that the neutral axis isn't the driveshaft/output. What you want to do is make it so that one gear shifter can give input to the neutral axle at two different ratios, and have that output to another axle on a shifter, that can then take the neutral's output at a high or low ratio as well, so the shifters can compound their ability to adjust between torque and speed. Once you do this, and have a shifter adjusting its input to a neutral, and a shifter adjusting what ratio it accepts the neutral's power from, you get 4 gears at different torque/speed ratios. Then, all you have to do is give the first shifter some engines and make the second one output to wheels, and the 4 speed transmission will eliminate having to know where electric vs combustion does best in the drivetrain.

@donalddickerson206 10 күн бұрын

I was also thinking about the neutral gearing while watching. I'm just a lay person--don't know the engineering. But i commented on a previous video with a transmission video from 1936 that lays out the very basics (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gLV8p7Zlu7vHpoU.html).

I've completed the tech tree without any gas engines (electric only). All is possible when you do them exact opposite of the gearing at the start of the video. You need more speed out of the electric engines in the game as opposed to real life, in this game, electric motors cap out rpm wise way sooner than the gas engines. Once you get the planetary gearing, with big enough motors, you won't even need to shift. I was able to hit 370 kmph on the long straightaway using just electric motors and planetary gearboxes. Also for gearing, the game automagically figures out how to set the order, so don't worry about that. The same is true for engine direction. Lastly, down force is a balance, and you really want to brake just before making turns as braking during turns is harder to control due to weight shift.

Heres something I've learned playing racing games at a mid-level: You should tune your car so that you just barely reach your top speed at the fastest part of the course. Because if you cap out, your wasting time you could be accelerating, and if you barely reach top speed, some of that wasted energy can go into acceleration. Of course this means changing your cars for the course, which isn't something too viable at the moment, but if you want to optimize one time, or one race is really hard, you can try it out. Of course, this is in a vacuum, so it's not perfect, but yknow. (If anyone more advanced has any ideas to contest this, I'm interested)

The graph displays torque at the wheels. Depending on the size of the wheel, the force put into the ground will vary At a torque of 200 Nm a wheel with a radius of 0.5 meters will put a force of 400N into the ground. With perfect grip and a given mass you can calculate the acceleration a = F / m. Say the vehicle ways 500kg, the acceleration would be 400N / 500kg = 0.8 m/s^2

unless you're doing shenanigans I recommend having your gear shift be short and having the gap on the non moving shaft, it often makes stuff less annoying. also something that's good to know is that having 2 of the gears that can go right angle next to eachother is the same size as a small + medium, it's really useful if you're doing a 6 speed gear shift.

@elderith3244 11 күн бұрын

Build suggestions. For 4wd: the shaft can be off to one side, instead of center. That way it makes it easier to have motors centered and give more room for gear boxes. For large gears I will but them horizontal above the center typically on a shifter.

Another tip, you can put an axle right behind the shifting part of the gear shift. This section will not shift. You can put engines back here. You can even attach it to a gear shift on the other end of that axle for all wheel drive with shifting gears. Either symmetrical shifting or asymmetrical.

I think it might be worth making a very simple experiment vehicle, just to see what the different gear ratios do with different engines. so a single engine above the central drive shaft and do 1:1, S:M, S:L, M:L and vice versus for both types of engines to get a feel of what the ratios do to the graphs, could also try adding more engines and mixing and matching to get more feeling. could even try adding a shifter in the mix in different positions to see what it does more. I thought I saw in one of KAN's videos that there is a 3 stage gear shifter so that might be something to look for to help simplify things?

For gear shifting layout, I do recommend actually building vertically (a higher shaft parallel to the main drive shaft. It will not ruin the look because cars in real life have a bit of height to them. I recommend building two extra shafts with one unit of space between them and the drive shaft. In the middle shaft add all your engines. then gear shift upwards to the top shaft and then gear shift again downwards to the drive shaft. This way you have a transmission with a higher number of speeds.

You need a 1 to 1 gear shift in the middle of your high torque to high speed shift. So your first shift should be high torque, that's the small gear on the engine to a large gear on the shifter, and that should switch to a double medium gear. On the end of the second axel, you want another shifter that switches from a double medium gear to a large gear into a small gear. That's your high-speed gear. That will be your gear box. All your engines need to be behind the gearbox, and your drive axel should connect to the gearboxes' output. Hope that helps, Scrapman. I'm not sure if that was the best description, but it's the best I got for ya without some kind of diagram.

First off. I never thought I should put a gear shift for each motor type to allow for better power management. I am going to need to try that now. Thanks for that. A building tip: if you put the biggest gear you plan to use closest to the gear shifter, you can make them a little smaller. It isn't much smaller, but it helps. It also helps make sense of the gear shifter 3x2 hitbox. When making gearboxes, remember that the bigger the difference in the sizes (like large to small) the sharper the cliff in that power graph. Also unlocking the 3 gear shifter makes more complicated gearing easier.

@rexracer4380 12 күн бұрын

To clarify: the 2 gear shifters can have the gears next to each other if the big gear is close to the base and the small one is on the outside. Put the gear gap on the non-shifting axles to make them smaller. It should be how the game demonstrates it in the part tutorial.

@PleasurePeeks 12 күн бұрын

a few tips scrappy. 1. you can use the ---- gears in any direction. they are 1 block narrower than the medium gear. instead of doing 1medium gear 1 small gear you can do 2 .----------- gears. then it wont change the gear ratios as the medium and small gear combo would. 2. One of the best, if not the best, gearbox you can make in is also pretty simple. Here's how to do it: Step 1: Start with a set of planetary gears. These gears are the core of your gearbox. Step 2: Place medium gears between some of the planetary gears. These medium gears will help transfer motion from the planetary gears to the shaft. Step 3: Position a shaft as close as possible to the planetary gears. This shaft will be connected to the medium gears and will serve as the main output. Step 4: Attach the shaft to a shifter. The shifter will allow you to change gears and control which gears are engaged. Step 5: Use small gears to connect the shaft with the medium gears. The small gears should be placed on the shaft in such a way that each shift engages only one medium gear at a time. This setup ensures smooth transitions between gears and efficient power transfer. 3. Using a shaft yo connect your parts instead of blocks is way less weight. there is a part that is designet for mounting blocks on engines. you can use that part in reverse making it possible to connect shaft to blocks and other parts. 4. i dont think it would make the game better if you can see how long the parts is by hovering your mouse over them. it will become very intuitive how long they are when youve used alot of hours in the game building. Thats how it should be. i like games where you have to learn a skill and not be babysitted all the time. Thats one of the reasons that i really like screw drivers. the dev should make it possible to bind asdw to the stepper motors. it really limits the building potiential alot.

I think the acceleration stat is just the peak acceleration on your power curve, which in your case was at very slow speeds. That is why adding the electric motor outside of your shifter slightly increased the acceleration stat because it only applied at low speeds where your best power already was. Putting the engine in the shifter didn't help quite as much at low speeds because of your gear ratio, but would make it actually do something at higher speeds after the gear shift where the one outside of the shifter did nothing. That is why your car flew up to ~80kph but was really slow to accelerate to top speed after that. I find it best to mostly look at the power curve rather than the stats they give you because it better resembles the true power output as your car gains speed.

@blackness4255 11 күн бұрын

What you need for transmission: Big to small to big gear on gearbox, shaft to the side with small to medium to big and then a final gear which connects the driveshaft to the layshaft.

Use the down force but putt it upside down so it gives you lift

The workshop is your friend, you can get a lot of inspiration on how to do certain setups. You sometimes get locked into doing something a certain way because it works unti you see it different that opens up a whole new line of thought.

Don't pay too much attention to your acceleration stat, it's just a theoretical value that you get when your power system reaches maximum torque. Focus on raising the power curve as high as possible, and as broadly as possible, because this is what determines how hard the engine can push you at any given speed (roughly speaking).

@Slownick 12 күн бұрын

For now you can freely attach engines to axles, without the need to connect them all to the frame of the car. 1 engine connected in that assembly is enough. This is also true for shock absorbers, 1 peg connected is enough, and it will work!

I'm not completely sure, but this idea of an electric motor directly on the main shaft is a great idea, helping with acceleration, and trying to place electric motors on the gear change shaft will help with with a good topspeed, and regarding the long jumps, its aerodynamics with the wings and downforce, hinder you, throwing you straight to the ground

@rjgraylight 12 күн бұрын

Scrapman, Gears don't collide with the ground, so you don't actually need to fear the big gears and call the medium gears big gears. I believe that the ideal layout for the smoothest curve is a 5 gear shift system. Small to large small to medium medium to medium Large to medium Large to small I could be wrong, but that's my theory at any rate.

@connernixon9281 12 күн бұрын

kAN built and designed gearing before getting the gear shift. He had a single digit acceleration, and a very very high top speed. He didn't have enough space or acceleration to get to his max speed. It's honestly really cool to see the differences between ScrapMan and kAN.

@pularis1629 11 күн бұрын

14:40 tip for basically all long jumps, there is no time limit, and if there is a wall behind you, it is still aways away, so you can back up at the start, to get more total speed. Also, you can build a helicopter with downforce, but that’s kinda cheesy. Oh, and don’t have downforce, or have upside down downforce. Also, 26:32 the combustion does help, just at acceleration at higher top speeds, so you 0-60 will be faster, but your 120-180 will be slower

I love how this (Scrap)man sits there n works out mechanical/physics problems and comes to solutions. both cars were on the right track for sure, if u could make them wider, like in the trailmakers editor it would have been so much easier to 'fix' the first car to do what u wanted. Thats the power of hindsight tho. My first from scratch build was compared to either of these... pretty poo lol. Also ur editor is like first class, his lil additions to the vids make it so much more understandable/digestible, i bet would help the builds no end if he was doing that real time lol

@gokselaras9002 12 күн бұрын

Gear ratios are also important. You should have much more variety between gears and to do that you can try making like big to mid, mid to small and big to small gears and put extra axles and small gears on to that extra axle to connect them together or you'll only get 2 speed gearboxes

@rjgraylight 12 күн бұрын

Try connecting a shift to a shift to create that multi-stage shift system you were looking for? You'll be shifting a shifter to give yourself more options.

@Muchhunk 12 күн бұрын

tip for gear ratio, gradually change it to use bigger gear on each shifting. If you go big gear only, you're going to have gaps, and those are a big no no. at least thats what my way of thinking...didnt tested it actually 😅 Going small/small > medium/small > big/small should be way smoother than just big/small gear. Following this logic, you can use the small/small on electric engine, then medium/small being a mix of electric engine and combustion, and third gear big/small and above, just for combustion. Second tip, down force pieces don't help at all on long jumps.

@conductorfishy 10 күн бұрын

the fact that you never checked how the acceleration curve changes based off of the starting position of the gear shift is killing me, the lack of experimenting is so painful.

@mareksoucek4514 10 күн бұрын

You should do Independent gears. Meaning, the gears can be engaged/disengaged so they're not always connected, as it may interfere with the shifting and performance. Best would be 4 shifters 2 low gears, 2 high gears. 1 low and 1 high for each set of engines.

@reshurc 12 күн бұрын

You could add a midsize gear on a long axle, starting from your output final gear, going on top of your powercenter, to the front of your car, back down to a midsize gear to get 4wd again. It adds no significant weight up top, since it's just an axle with two gears on it.

@ShadowSleeper33 11 күн бұрын

For long jumps it becomes quite easy if you make a car as light as possible with slim rubber tires and then add a ton of combustion engine with a gear up. No gear shifting because the car becomes heavy with all the extra gears and shafts.

@MadocComadrin 11 күн бұрын

The front part of the car only being attached by the single axle and being free to rotate reminds me of the Tantrum RC car where you could purposefully spin the front part like that!

@cabbageplays6710 8 күн бұрын

So i had a little idea, if you have 1 electric motor attached to each wheel, directly, so it would be something like wheel, shaft length 4, attatchment point next to the wheel for stability, electric engine, and then one of those bits that lets you change the shaft 90 degrees, mimic it on the other side and have the main shaft lead into the centre of them with the 90 degree thing again so they work, would mean you have independant power for each wheel and might bring that acceleration up a bit.

@blueflame_sm 11 күн бұрын

For long jumps, if you flip the car midair (if you have spoilers) you get a ton of lift. Air controlls are a bit janky tho, so you need to make sure ur flat before doing the flip or youll go backwards. For suspension, it seems that regardless of the type of race, offroad suspension just work better, because the race suspension is just really stiff.
