BeamNG Drive - Driven Till Destruction - The Endurodrome #15

The Miramar still leads around the Endurodrome after all these episodes, but can the much requested Dove do much about it ?

Every night, me and my 2 year old son sit in bed and watch these "Driven Till Destruction The Endurodrome " series. It's really sweet how much he loves it. We are currently up to this video that I'm commenting on now. Still a fair few to go which is nice. Please do more 😁!!

You can't damage the suspension if there is no suspension

Failrace: Come for the high-quality automotive video game videos, stay for adorable kitten commentary.

[@trifalcon515]

Grymbaldknight would you stop taking my comments lol i always enjoy Failrace’s shenanigans

[@Grymbaldknight]

I'm afraid i don't follow. Did you post a very similar comment first? But oh yeah, this channel is awesome. I don't regularly follow many KZbin series', but Driven 'Til Destruction is one of them.

[@trifalcon515]

Grymbaldknight i was making a joke but it is ok if you don’t get it

[@Eray2007]

I don't get it

[@georgegreen1349]

I'll say this now so people don't get confused; The Blackfoot was released late yesterday, but since Alex is now on holiday, he had recorded both of the two next Endurodrome episodes before he left. So the Blackfoot might be featured in the Endurodrome episode/week beginning the 24th September.

[@JowoHD]

holy shit man ive been playing around with it and it's so fucking good

[@xander1052]

Hello my dude.

[@cpufreak101]

hopefully, I've had a bunch of fun running that around the track on it's own, it lasts such a long time.

[@biznichin13]

if the dove didn't get eaten by that barrier it would have made it furthest feels bad man

[@eightmegsandconstantlyswap8862]

If the Miramar didn't get clapped into a barrier on lap 6, it probably would have made another three or four.

[@flasmaster1637]

All the long lasting cars get killed by his driving errors

[@BeaudoinMotorsports]

The Dove is the Hero we Need, but don't deserve

[@JaredR1996]

That little van was so close to being on top

[@skavies2351]

I'd love to see the same car run this 3 times in a row to see how consistent the distance traveled is. between human errors and math rounding errors, there's virtually no chance of the car failing 3 times in the same 1/10th of the track area, but how accurate is a single run for determining the toughness of a car? Will it fail on lap 1 one time, lap 8 the second time and lap 3 the third, or will it be much closer like all deaths within about 1 lap of each other?

[@TranscendentalAirwaves]

The Dove is insane, you can't break it. Hands down best car mod.

[@aliensensation8299]

So this is what it sounds like, When doves cry :D :D

[@geoffreygriffiths1385]

That Falcon turned into a Pidgeon. 🤣

[@bury_the_elite65294]

10:00 "Big Bopper to March Hare - we're out of the game. And you'd better send a meat truck - Charlie's copped a saucepan in the throat!" (Yes, I'm a fan of Mad Max, particularly the first one, as you can probably tell...) Was kind of hoping you'd recreate the original Mad Max car chase by crashing the Falcon into a Mazda Bongo van, & smashing through a caravan with it ;) But seriously, great vid, as always. Keep up the great work :)

[@lannymendez3865]

Is it only me, or is there crazy quality drops?

[@alexchambers1791]

my Dad had an 1978 XC falcon Rally Pack, which had the same drivetrain as the XB Falcon, except the original owner wanted a 351 5.8L V8 instead of a V6. It flew like crazy, damn I miss it

[@enoztheprotogenshadeyboii7074]

The falcon went out for overheating, driveshaft, AND steering failure Impressive

[@TahreyUK]

So the Dove is a bit like the Reliant Kitten, same as the Pigeon is the Robin, right? Though essentially it looks rather like a squared-off RWD Renault 4 (though it ended up more like a 2CV Mehari). Despite clearly having a rather more OP engine than any of those (looks like the 0-60 on a regular track would be 10 seconds or less), it seems to share quite a bit of the chassis design, which I think is both the secret of its resilience and the reason behind its wonky handling, especially as the suspension appears to be rather simpler than even the R4s (which it can get away with at the front, and is forced to adopt at the rear, because of being RWD). From what I can see of it in the video, the chassis is a simple but extremely rugged ladder frame (or maybe an R4 style Platform Frame, makes little difference to an underside view), which provides a lot of stiffness to the lower body in general and particularly the places where running gear attaches. It also inherently protects the driveshaft (and gearbox), which has been the downfall of a lot of FR cars. The fuel tank is tucked away higher up than the chassis beams so is only in danger from a severe tailstrike. At the front, there's some kind of slightly oddball and not entirely clear double wishbone thing going on (simpler and bulkier than the R4's McP struts, but not necessarily poorer performing, and grant extra strength to the steering and front wheel attachments), and the subframe or dead-axle-like crossmember tying the lower parts of the left and right wishbones together provides a pretty effective shield for the engine (and high mounted radiator). At the rear, there's a pretty crude live axle plus leafspring setup that looks more like it suspends only the bodywork over the chassis, meaning the entire rear half of the chassis counts as unsprung weight and makes it into the equivalent of a hardtail motorcycle with a heavily sprung seat, which gives rise to all the chronic handling problems - the wheels can't move independently of each other except through tilting the entire frame, and are essentially unsprung (so can't move to maintain decent grip on uneven surfaces) other than by their balloon tyres, which is a bouncy and almost completely undamped setup in the first place. On top of which, the bodywork is sprung but undamped thanks to the leaf springs. But on the plus side, this does allow for the wheels to be very securely attached (just bolt them on the end of the halfshafts), and the live halfshafts and diff are quite well protected in the same way as the main driveshaft and engine/transmission; they're within the actual chassis frame, so for anything to hit them would require either a wheel (maybe both) to come off, or the car to suffer a very unlucky hard landing following a bounce where it just happened to crash down onto a rock that was positioned just-so to avoid the wheels and frame but still hit one of the vulnerable parts. A very hardwearing design, really, just not one made for any kind of challenging handling conditions ... or really any kind of high speed. It could last for decades on not particularly well made roads, without even needing an undertray (though fitting one to that frame would be simplicity itself) so long as you made sure to keep your speed down so it wouldn't bounce around too much. And if you look back at it, it actually behaves itself quite well at the front, it's only the back end that bounces around rather like a factory-built jelly car (though that's maybe the wrong analogy... rubber car?). If it had a slight modification to narrow the frame at the back and implement a kind of semi-live axle, with the wheels actually suspended in some way (even just the same leaf springs, though any of coilovers, R4 style independent torsion bars, or maybe even miniature wishbones with some kind of token damping would be preferable) with universal joints running from shorter halfshafts poking through the frame (you'd get a 2CV or Beetle style issue with the wheels changing camber as they moved up and down, but it'd still be an improvement), it could be almost as strong and underside-impact resistant, whilst not bouncing around anywhere near as much, and being able to put its power down more effectively... meaning it would crash a lot less, and be able to sail over the rock beds more easily, and so net resilience to bad roads would actually increase. Something like that might still be running around the Endurodrome to this day, laughing off the potholes and jumps...

[@williammememan6002]

the xb is one of my favourite australian cars and the dove is one of my favourite mods. good episode.

[@302racing3]

Can you do the Failrace vehicles like the FRI V8 supercar (sunburst) and AI Torro’s cars

[@Poopsticle_256]

The Automation cars deform differently and don't break as easily so he won't actually be using them...

[@302racing3]

I’m referring to the robot wars van and the flip-pursuit burnside

[@Poopsticle_256]

Oh, that makes sense...

[@cmdrwolfraider]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. The no-suspension dove is hilarious.

[@Jcreamy513]

I think the dove lasted as long as it did because of how light the vehicle is, there isn't much weight coming down on the front end when it does a jump or hits a speed bump

[@enoztheprotogenshadeyboii7074]

The rear left door on the dove be like: *NO! I DON'T WANNA GO!*

[@Billiamiscool]

Some weird facts about the XB Falcon, despite being a 70s Aussie muscle car, it features independent front suspension, and, crazily enough, a limited slip diff!

[@eightmegsandconstantlyswap8862]

You won't find a passenger car made since the 1940s without an independent front suspension.

[@gosportjamie]

I thought the big Aussie Falcon would be pretty good at this being as, in the early '70s when it was in production a lot of the roads in the more rural parts of Australia were rather like this track...

[@JeanMarceaux]

It was later refashioned into an Interceptor.

[@gosportjamie]

+Jean Marceaux Yep, it became the Interceptor in the original Mad Max. It wouldn't have been a very old car then but apparently they weren't hugely desirable so they could be bought for pennies. Not the case now where these can easily break A$100,000 and a rarer version may be A$250,000+ any day of the week...

[@JeanMarceaux]

@@gosportjamie definitely was this particular Falcon that was fashioned into a Mk. 1 Interceptor from the first Mad Max.

[@gosportjamie]

+Jean Marceaux I wasn't 100% sure, I vaguely recalled that a few of the Falcon fastbacks from that period looked similar from the back but I might be getting confused with something else. I wonder how much THAT car would be worth now, if it was still around...

[@bury_the_elite65294]

gosportjamie - True. Even some of the outer-suburban roads in Australia weren't much better than this track either...

[@nicholasmalanga9370]

Psst- hey alex! Just letting you know the Miramar is pronounced "mee-ra-maar" after a place in Florida :)

[@xtremegaming1837]

I didn’t know it was named after a place..... the more you know....

[@ScoobyJews420]

i love his kittens

[@Ryan-xi9nd]

the bodywork on the dove should be called Crush Max Body Work because it crushes when the car roles over or hist something absorbing the impact and saving the cars vital components

[@joecroucher]

that was a good showing by the dove it got real close but some would still say the miramar went out due to driver error. oh yea i subbed to you about a week ago and ive watched ep1 up till now so far today of this series im gonna go till about ep 20 tonite i think then go play some wreckfest then watch the rest tomorow if i can get time around work great vids fail love your forza stuff

[@orbi4331]

Very social, very nice! My kind of youtuber!

[@cpufreak101]

a vehicle suggestion, the Gavril H series RV Upfit. it's got the Heft of the Ambulance, but once the "house" disintegrates on the first few jumps it's much more lightweight, but still having the tougher chassis. in my experience it got to lap 4 easily

[@StaticVapour590]

Gotta say the van is super durable. Tested myself, i drove it 5 laps at speed of around 80km/h (around 50mph)all the time. It finally died to motor seizing up under heat.. But hey you can also jump-start cars in this game, try it

[@Darthjammer224]

if I can record me breaking the record of the miramar on this course will you put out a video on the same car and see how long itll go with you driving it?

[@blinking3998]

All hail the dove

[@goldeneaglearbor614]

Life finds a way... even In a dove

[@byronarachnicus6596]

You could likely have most cars go further by avoiding the potholes.

[@ydrahkcin]

How do you get the distance meter app?

[@raygoodwin2303]

It's on the UI apps on the menu.

[@TsPovs]

Try doing the base D series or just the frame of a car

[@SPcamert]

I was just thinking how ridiculous it would be to have a chaser on this course. For instance you could spawn the car you're testing and then have like a high powered Burnside cop car or better yet you could have a cop version of whatever the currently leading car is and set them to chase the car you're testing. It would make for some hilarity I'm sure so long as the AI didn't derp out on the course.

[@HuntersMoon78]

Dove's doors are acting like Sri-Mech's

[@gameryusic825]

When i hear FailRace talking, it just reminds me of StampyLongNose.

[@MapOfEurasia]

Try the Gavril Roamer, I tested It and takes 6 laps until the engine died for the broken radiator. Strong car 😁

[@tommyb6611]

You should use the Dove in the new series of destruction with the new track

[@flasmaster1637]

cause of death for the miramar should be "driver error"

[@boomkittyFX]

here is the beamng version of the nokia 3310.

[@Cobra_427]

you should make a config in the garage in Beam, save it, and then see how long your custom config lasts around the Endurodrome, I would send in my Baja Moonhawk but it's Frankensteined out of 15 different mods so even uploading it on the Beam forums would be a pain

[@w33d_nose55]

Nice video love them Thanks

[@captainzoll3303]

try the stubby bus, I'd be interested to see how it fares compared to the normal bus.

[@Ray_the_Jackal]

Pretty sure it’s Hopper, not Hooper.

[@oliververnon6966]

You should try the base model garvil roamer. In my beam ng experience it's pretty indestructible

[@jackrichards1101]

That dove looks like a very mini classic range rover

[@ku5713]

The Dove reminds me of the life step van (honda)

[@adamcollier5511]

If that thing didn't get stuck on the barrier, it would have matched or beaten the other one. That is too bad.

[@TheAngryVanRider]

I used to own a Falcon (an EL Falcon though, not an XB), it died with engine failure :p

[@123MrunknownMr]

Hey Failrace could you do the AU Falcon next, its the most indestructible vehicle ever.

[@sirmugman]

1st car, usa muscle going to break its drive shaft or stearing, 2nd car odd lil fait thing? no idea but looks cool but small crs either going to burst it fuel tank or break stearing, 3rd car, no only 2
