Driven Till Destruction #3 - The Crazy Bathtub - BeamNG Drive

[@demoths]

That model T front suspension has survived the test of time, Alex's lack of faith is disturbing

[@jwalster9412]

I still find it hilarious that the gambler bathtub has a solid single leaf, paired trailing arms in the rear. I've never seen something that drives and handles as bad as it lol.

[@demoths]

​@@jwalster9412 it's an, uh, interesting combination for sure. All the durability with none of the drivability 😂

[@J7Handle]

That Piccolina seems to be the ultimate mascot of building things flexible so they're strong. Which is actually a big thing in engineering, particularly how they build airliner wings and even some buildings, big cargo ships too.

[@jwalster9412]

That's why they use like 200 rubber bushings on anything that can more or twist on common road vehicles. If a suspension arm can move somewhat freely in most directions, but mostly stay at one axis then it's a lot more comfortable and less likely to have massive issues if you hit a pothole.

[@jamesmchenry4708]

I mean I said "Bumps of Coal" for the coal section on a previous video. Play on "Lumps of Coal, and is bumpy. also easy to remember and in line with previous names we've used for DTD.

[@broklond]

Road Deconstruction, or Asphalt Mounds for the "coal chicane", and Waterlogged Beach for the beach part

[@rafalst]

The problem of the model vehicles is that they MIGHT not be balanced the same way as the vanilla. The parts might not have the same strenght, node configuration and soo on

[@novawolf_gaming]

Generally the Lore Friendly cars seem to be balanced

[@tt-nm4yj]

is the ccf2 too strong ?

[@edwardburek1717]

That Gambler 500 Piccolina, though - they say old F1 cars used to be termed as bathtubs with an engine and a fuel tank bolted onto them. That has taken that description to another level.

[@warkus123]

That CCF put on a really good show, but I think is a bit unrealistically strong compared to the base game cars... At least the radiator. There's no way a radiator would survive being pushed up and smashed like that so many times without even starting to leak in a base game car or IRL (I know it's a game, but BeamNG is a simulator after all)

[@Sternendrache11]

Not only the radiator - the whole chassis is incredibly strong compared to many mod and all vanilla cars as well

[@tarasaurus98]

I love that the Gambler Piccolina can make a really good off roading run look so incredibly janky the whole way

[@epiphonefish]

Best series ever, still miss the endurodrome! Know the skin has some missing assets but man it would be nice to see again

[@Duster-bb7qt]

Hell yeah I love these!!

I hope this inspires some consideration

[@demoman9116]

DTD is the best series ever made. Really helps me forget that ill probably never be able to play Beam 🙃

[@1mariomaniac]

It's been optimized better and better with each update imo. Do you have a PC? What kind of specs do you have?

[@nado4668]

Never give up brother, felt the same way as you did until I saved up for a proper rig, that was years ago and now I even have a G29 set-up and it's the best thing

[@aceade]

I'd like to see a multiplayer version of this, just for the chaos that will ensue.

[@vis-glitch]

Yeah the raced till destruction videos are really fun. BeamMP content is probably my favorite on the channel.

[@bhaughbb4239]

That MX5 doing its' best StarFox impression.

[@williamhepworth6360]

In my experience, the bathtub Picccolina does the tripod-ing without damage, if you take more sharp corners. I’m sure that damage would have made it worse, as none of the circuits corners are particularly sharp

[@messiermitchell4901]

The Gambler Piccolina is a surprisingly well made car, for being a drag Piccolina with a bathtub

[@LadyMistborn]

The CCF should be disqualified, you can rip the rad out with the node grabber and not lose cooling Same with it's oil pan This is one of my favorite series of yours I cant wait to see more

[@LadyMistborn]

Also it wouldn't help a whole lot, but adding a skid plate would help the oil pans last a little longer and most vehicles can have one

[@nado4668]

Awesome video as always, i would absolutely love to see a D-Series with a swivel-frame thrown around the island, it'd be pretty entertaining to watch it roll all over the place

[@chaosreality7029]

How soon are we going to see the return of Car Park Wars, Brown Pants, or Straight Line Racing? (King of the Motorway, and Boopy Gun Racing are also quite good, I feel like the latter was done more recently though)

[@thebeastmk2]

The mx5 seemed maybe a bit to strong? Not overly so just seemed like it shoukd of got hurt a bit sooner given how the track treats other cars

[@Wehiremonkeys]

The damage model seemed similar to Automation exports, that's to say a little stronger than scratch made Beam cars.

[@_Zdex007]

@@Wehiremonkeys Because it actually is a modified automation car.

[@Wehiremonkeys]

@@_Zdex007 I did suspect that but I didn't know the mod so didn't want to make a rushed decision.

[@_Zdex007]

​@@Wehiremonkeys It's fine, I got over 100+ exported cars from auto to beam so I got an idea as to where to look. Just the looks gave me big suspicion, but it was the collision detection that gave it away.

[@CrudelyMade]

Would love to see a race on this course or something similar where everybody is driving this car first to complete three laps wins. Shenanigans and broken cars in Sue.

[@calibadgerdude6082]

I love that Mazda Miata mod. They even managed to match that beautiful Pearl red/metallic paint that Mazda has. One of my favorite factory paint colors.

[@_Zdex007]

For a modified automation car, the miata is a pretty good mod. But I think it just survived because the functioning bits are from Automation.

[@SpaceGood.]

It’s not a modified automation car. The CCF was recently remade basically from scratch. The driveshaft is pretty strong and the radiator got really lucky from my experience with the car. The wheels are the main weak point on it.

[@broklond]

​@@SpaceGood. The wheels seemed like they were glued on, on the CCF, definitely didn't seem like a weak point :D

[@SpaceGood.]

​@@broklond Well, it's all up to luck with what happens in Driven till destruction.

[@zenkoz3158]

I see that even remaking a mod from scratch in beam doesn't let it shake its automation version. I guess everyone gets it but only if it's a Ford focus with rockets strapped to it.

[@_Zdex007]

@@zenkoz3158 ? For me if it would have been made from scratch, I'm pretty certain that the collision detected and the spiking on the hood would not be there. And the mechanical bits seems a bit too strong.

[@takigosciu]

i got a name idea for the wooden bridge section towards the end of the lap - Pallets

[@Grort]

Could you include the number of laps each one managed on the end of video highscores? I think you used to in one of the other DTD series.

[@1mariomaniac]

If you're curious, the Piccolina made it to lap 7 and the CCF made it to lap 9

[@Greatsword585]

I'm very much looking forward to this destruction circuit's "The Beast" attempt

[@barrycurran1]

Loved all the previous driven destruction, but I feel this is trying to preserve the cars, and think they should be driving as hard as they can

[@swordmonkey6635]

The first car's suspension was a transverse leaf spring layout. It's strong and simple, but not very responsive for sports use. Ironically, Corvette used an updated transverse leaf spring in the rear of its cars until the C7 generation.

[@wolfgang_h3t]

C2 and 3 are transverse leaf rear, but I think the C4 all the way to the C7 was front and rear, which is crazy. And also incredibly annoying that there was room for improvement that GM just... Never bothered with, instead continuesly boosting power and ultimately turning the Vette into a cheap supercar

@@swordmonkey6635 Don't forget the 2017 ZR1 LT5 DOHC engine. 755 horsepower and 715 lb/ft of torque. I think that beat the early 90's 4 cam ZR1.

Could call the coal piles “Santa’s Naughty Stash”

[@Burger_Gaming778]

Omg both cars in this episode are astonishingly good

[@twistednothing6018]

Do a round with the CJD special stambecco. The cjd mod makes that truck actually fun to drive.

[@sharkk127]

For the next dtd, can you try the gambler 500 bluebuck, its a really well made mod that has kinda weak front suspension

[@kalkinzinsunpraiser1548]

Here we are yet again to count Failrace tumbles! Now, here are all of the gorgeous "stunts" performed by Alex in this video: 12:40 = The bathtub didn't tumble once, but I'l timestamp the spectacular ending to it's run; 16:56 = The first actual tumble of the video, it took so long; 22:18 = It skipped on the concrete like a stone skips on water...whatahell? 23:30 = It was more so a summersault than a tumble, but it did fall on its side, so I'l count it; 23:52 = At this point it's rolling over so much that you might as well call it Hammond; 24:40 = And once again it tumbles and lands on it's wheels; 25:43 = The curse of the commentator strikes yet again! 26:16 = Skating on your side is definetely something that's not good for your health; 27:06 = I think that Alex "leaned" a little bit too much right there; 28:45 = This car really wants to go to the Olympics if it keeps on doing summersaults like that; 29:17 = It somehow managed to not hit the wheels when going over a concrete barrier, this car's a athlete; 30:02 = Introducing "Kitty Mazda"! It always rolls, but it always falls on its wheel! 30:40 = See? The previous advert didn't lie, it always falls on its wheels; 32:54 = The Olympic summersaulter Mazda tried to become a ballerina and broke it's legs, oh well!

[@Tamagoman]

Think the area at the start line over the speed bumps should be called Asda Carpark

[@redmist6131]

Here's a name for the funny jump the sluice box it's kinds what it puts me in mind of

[@lone.faerie]

The jump over the house and into the water should be called "Over the River" as in "Over the river, and through the woods, to Grandmother's house we go"

[@jwalster9412]

Name sugestion: the jump at 12:40 should be called container crunch.

[@Paul-Gleave]

Call the jump that killed the Piccolina, "Axle effed". Lol.

[@DogeDragone]

the jump over the pipe would be hilarious to call "pipe dream"

[@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306]

Love these... and anything GTA 5.

[@DaSpecialZak]

suggestions for track names: coal chicane, garage jump, petrol station straight is the start line area, sewerage accent, the sand jumps with the water (before the start line) will be called sandy shores

[@cyph3r76]

That black tarmac mounds section could call oil pan alley

[@LukeTheJoker]

Those were two very impressive runs for unlikely cars!

[@Nyctophobia4you]

I just had an idea for a video or stream. You and the filming crew race around a destruction circuit for a number of laps then race the same cars around a normal track. The fastest time wins. Oh and you cant repair it. And the time stops between runs. So you can go slow on the first track to have a clean car for the second, or try to make up time.

[@simonelgie]

The uneven section, just before the run to the final section, has to be called, 'Warehouse Waves.'

[@RedWolf50]

Leafspring in the middle? Hello Corvette suspension!

[@_Zdex007]

It's a model-t suspension.

[@BasPlankgas]

Name suggestion: how about "the black gravel pit of minor inconvenience" for the gravel pit before the house jump?

[@yungsagegaming8577]

Personally I don’t think he should run mods against the vanilla vehicles, that Miata probably had an indestructible radiator

[@jordanburley281]

What will be interesting is doing a video with everyone doing this mode in beemng, just not smacking into each other. It would really be interesting

[@Nyctophobia4you]

Another content idea would be everyone in the filing group has to race each other around a street circuit in beam on balasco city.

[@Kalancodragon]

Truly, Miata is always the answer.

[@mr.rogers4038]

I think shale chicane is a good name for that section

[@Atomica1989]

"The Car is second Hand". hahaha, i Imagine the completly destroyed Car at a Car Dealership, the Car Dealer skaps on the Roof and says: "The Car is second Hand, as new" 😂

[@RangerHalt907]

At 10:16 Idea is Suger Coal. That is the best I could come up with.

[@squidwardo7074]

You should take the new Autobello (forgot its name) around here. I took it around the old DTD circuit and it lasted 25 miles with 2 wheels missing, only quit because I got bored, thing is quite underrated

[@dabearsandme]

Love your videos sir. Keep doing what you do!

[@anofsti]

Suggestion on the scoring - if you say I lap is 100%, and then approximately calculate from there. Say a car did 7 and 3/4 laps it would score 750% When spinning the wheels etc count as milage the current rankings are a bit meaningless

[@pistongaming826]

He does it off Laps completed and just shows the mileage as a rough thing, he said this first episode

[@pistongaming826]

Intact he even said it in this video

[@chicagofan76]

How about for the asphalt mounds - Jurassic Poop Park?

[@DogeDragone]

I took the ccf on the proving grounds and the flat jump just destroyed the front right when I landed wrong

[@yapod9061]

Miata is always the answer.

[@wheelwrightpl9429]

That CCF mod is probably bugged, because it appears the suspension damage is not modelled.

is there a crash test dummy mod? see how long they could survive all the bumping and banging? 🤣

There is but I'm pretty sure it only works with vanilla cars. Modded cars wouldn't have the option to apply the crash test dummy.

[@squidwardo7074]

There is but it doesn't really get broken, and only works with older cars
