Breaking the LAND SPEED RECORD in Poly Bridge 2! 50k Subscriber Special!

It's my 50,000 subscriber special and this time I thought I'd move away from building bridges for a change and try and become a record breaker! I attempt the break the land speed record in Poly Bridge 2, building the fastest vehicle in the game ever created!
This video marks 50,000 subscribers, which I still cannot quite believe is true. I didn't really say it in the video but I am insanely grateful for your support and for pushing me to create better content. I am absolutely loving this new hobby, and your comments and likes really lift me up and make me want to go bigger and better in every video. If you are reading this, THANK YOU so much for watching my videos, liking them, leaving a comment. It all makes a massive difference so thank you. To my Patreons and KZbin members, THANK YOU. You are allowing me to create more videos which everyone else is able to enjoy, I really appreciate you supporting the channel in this way. To my subscribers, THANK YOU so much for the support so far, I feel truly blessed. If you could give this video a like to keep momentum going that would be incredible, and if you could share this video then even better. It's a long long way to the next milestone, so if you haven't subscribed already, please do!!
Remember, my original video idea for this milestone will be coming out soon once it has been given the polish it deserves! Can't wait to share that one with you all!

50 thousand subscribers... Wow... I am truly blessed! Thank you all so much... I go into a bit more detail in the video description but I did just want to mention here how grateful I am that we have achieved this truly incredible milestone, so here's to engineering the sheet out of KZbin in the future!! Also, I actually super enjoyed making something that wasn't a bridge in here, so if you have any suggestions of what I could try next please leave a comment with a suggestion- I read every single one! (ps I am writing this well in advance as I won't be around when this video goes live!)

1: I think lowering the horsepower may actually make the limo better, considering it only affects climbing from what I know, and it should help the wheeling a bit 2: Why didn't you mess with gearing? Have the monster trucks inside, connected to a larger wheel, should help with increasing speed (100->100*ratio), and help with the breaking (which I know will be fixed later, but who got time for that?)

[@pabloruiz-tagle5399]

I agree, the trucks inside the wheel would be better, but he is already using gearing, that's why he kept making the wheels bigger

[@50miler]

@@pabloruiz-tagle5399 I think they meant another ratio to avoid the road near the truck from moving to fast and breaking ie: Truck->road speed < break speed --> ratio to road->ground >> breaking speed (and won't break since there is no vehicle nearby).

[@pabloruiz-tagle5399]

@@50miler ye ur probably right

[@flatfingertuning727]

I'd also suggest using three connecting rods rather than two. With only two rods that are at left dead center and right dead center, the rods will provide essentially no useful coupling. My inclination would be a vehicle with two large vehicles on the ground, and a small wheel between them with a vehicle on it, all connected via connecting rods at the same radii.

[@gabrielarts5658]

20:30 Make a larger wheel around that wheel and connect them. Then the speed of the road in contact with the vehicle can stay lower than the speed of the road in contact with the ground, allowing a higher top speed before it breaks due to that limitation. (unless if the speed is absolute, not relative).

[@thegeneralscall]

As a bit of a thought, could you do a reduction gear system for the wheels? Have the trucks push a big wheel that itself turns a smaller wheel that pushes the car along? Might help keep the trucks from breaking through the road.

[@SgtAbramovich]

Suggestions: 1- Use two wheels, placed further apart 2- Reduce the weight of the monster trucks to the minimum 3- Move the monster trucks to the side of the wheel, clamping them down with springs 4- Shrink the driving wheels and connect a larger wheel to them for leverage, leading to better speed (this can also allow you to make the trucks slower to avoid breaking the bridge) 5- Put springs at the end of the wheel to act as a tire, increasing grip without compromising integrity If I had the game I'd try it myself
