I Built a V8 Moon Buggy With The Most HATED Transmission... (Automation | BeamNG Multiplayer)

Today @Butch13_Gaming and I are back in Automation and BeamNG for a challenge that's OUT OF THIS WORLD! lol...We're racing on the Moon! Or rather on Earth but with Moon gravity. As always, we had to build specialty vehicles for this unique challenge so make sure to check out the videos and let us know in the comments below what you thought of our buggies, as well as give us more ideas for challenges! :)

Jeremy: "And to make a proper moon buggy, you need a lumbering V8." May: "And two hundred fifty wheels to put all the power down." Hammond: "Ha, ha! That's true, Jeremy. Neither James nor I have to worry about that." Jeremy: "No you don't. Because he," points at May, "has less power than my CD player, and your car - for safety reasons - already comes flipped upside down."

[@mathias6369]

techpool is basically the year modifier, so if you set the year to 2020 and use a techpool of +5 on everything youre basically building a car with 2025 technology, tho that example doesnt really work since you stop unlocking things in this game around 2012 or so, but the performance of components and stuff still increases anyways i remember you also asked about difference between FWD, RWD and AWD/4x4 before, basically more driven wheels is more grip, taking the power away from any wheels is generally a disadvantage if you have a system that can be AWD and therefor weighs more anyway, advantages of FWD can be a more compact packaging of the drivetrain and lower weight and RWD is mainly good for sportscars due to the tendency to oversteer, rather than understeer also when it comes to tuning things like carb, intake and exhaust size, after selecting all the parts for your car, look at the flow percentages, bigger number means part is too smal, smaller number means part is too big, 100% is a good starting point, but usually neiter gives best performance nor fuel efficiency, values can range from 50 to 200 % "low" on the carbs and stuff refers to flow, not size

As a owner/operator of a 2008 Nissan Rogue S, I can confirm the CVT is atrocious. My transmission was estimated to grenade around 150,000 miles, and yet because I baby my car, it's pushing 190,000 miles. But, the CVT does slip every now and then, and my engine stalls if it doesn't warm up before I pull it out of park. No big deal. Just a pile of semi-reliable junk

[@Charon-5582]

CVT's are limited by the belt... they work great on atv size engines because a rubber belt is strong enough.

[@tinytruck2108]

I found your channel through your multiplayer shenanigans with scrap/kan, but as a fellow car enjoyer, these types of vids are my favs of yours.

You guys should build cars that the other person has to drive

[@ElderonAnalas]

as for, just making stuff in the sandbox for these things, you don't need to worry about the "Tech Pool" that is a mechanic used in the actual Career mode in the game. You'll have departments working on research for progressing through the time periods and learning new things, and the Tech Pool is basically free quality points you get, so, you can leave the slider at +0 but if your R&D boys have been doing good work, then your parts will count as +3 or +4. and it helps make your cars cheaper to build while still boosting their stats in the areas your customers like. Or, it means you can move the slider to the negative for free, and make your cars even cheaper with an over +0 quality.

[@fernandodemonio2]

what if you build drift cars? wins the car easier to drift, so u have to test each other car

[@barefootalien]

I'm surprised nobody answered your question about sintered powder connecting rods. Sintering is a metal manufacturing process that takes a powdered metal and uses pressure and heat to compact the powder into solid metal _without melting it_ in the process. Everyday examples of sintering would be a snowball or a ball of ice cubes that solidify into one chonk in a bag of ice from the store, or in the glass before liquid is added. It makes very consistent, reliable, strong parts without any preferred directionality and with a little less density than traditional forging processes, which when it comes to oscillating parts of an engine is _extremely_ important. It also allows manufacturing of parts with metals with high melting points, or mixing different metals when one has a melting point too high to conveniently alloy. Some 3D printers use a laser to sinter a bin of powder a layer at a time. If you see people 3D printing parts, especially in metal, and it just looks like a bunch of powder and then they pull a part out and dust it off, that's sintered. Well... _selectively_ sintered, hence the name: SLS = Selective Laser Sintering. Of the other options... cast iron means they melted iron fully, then poured it into a mold and let it solidify. This makes brittle parts with a very large crystal structure, but it's easy to do and doesn't require much metallurgical knowledge, just heat and a mold to cast it into. It's pretty cheap to make because it doesn't take much labor. Forged parts are made by heating the metal _near_ the melting point, which makes it much more malleable and ductile, then using pressure or impact to move it into the configuration desired. A blacksmith hammering a block of steel into a sword is forging, as is a factory using a gigantic hydraulic press to make large parts in one go. It's expensive because it's either labor-intensive (and skilled labor at that) or takes _very_ large machinery. Billet parts are made from a single block of material that is then machined down to the desired shape. These are expensive because it wastes most of the material, turning most of it into the metal equivalent to sawdust. That material _can_ be recycled, i.e. melted down and cast into a new billet, but every time you do that, you lose some of it to oxidation. But the machines to do so, while expensive, are generalizable. So... basically, to make cast parts, you need heat, a crucible, and a heat-resistant mold (which may or may not survive the process). To make forged parts you need a very skilled worker and a lot of his/her time, or a large, bespoke piece of machinery that only makes parts of that size and material and general shape, along with very expensive tooling to make that specific shape. To make billet parts, you just need a machine shop or a CNC machine, but you're throwing away 90% or more of the material you bought. To make sintered parts, you just need powdered metal (perhaps it used to be on the floor of a machine shop that makes billet parts? ;) ), some relatively inexpensive machinery... but a _lot_ of knowledge of metallurgy and very good control over your materials' purity.

simply, it'd have made your buggy electric which while not fully supported is more stable that cvt

@@ducewags good point. You would need to greatly reduce the air pressure in the tires.

[@nopickles-gi6jd]

i don't think a normal air intank on a V8 on a moon will work... realisticly it would a air tank... ether way, very cool idea!

[@JeremyWertheimerScience]

The lunar rover had tires made of a woven mesh of zinc-coated piano wire to which titanium treads were riveted in a chevron pattern. Not air filled, pneumatic rubber tires. It was immune to punctures. There's no air on the moon to inflate tires.

[@Charon-5582]

The extreme temperature changes and low pressure environment are very unkind to pneumatic tires.

[@popaul_feur]

I don't understand why people dislike the CVT, sure I do prefer manual transmission but the way the CVT works is really cool

[@YourLocalRaccoon]

Because no cvt ever put in a production car has been reliable past 50k miles even with regular or even advanced maintenance. (If I'm incorrect on that please correct me). Whereas even automatica can last upwards of 500k miles with regular maintenance intervals...well older ones could, this new stuff is kinda crap. 4l80e will outlast any vehicle it's put in but whatever nonsense is in the new Silverado is gonna have problems right around 100k.

[@YourLocalRaccoon]

For context, I currently drive a '00 S10 with a 4l60e which has not been maintenanced since it was built and the thing still runs like a top. (Engine has had minimal work). And I plan on getting a Buick Roadmaster and swapping in a manual from a '94 Corvette.

[@CryoiX]

The quality slider is actually really important lol I'm still quite new to the game but I've made a 1,000+ HP engine on max quality but then I'll change the quality on anything and it can't run and if all things are the lowest quality the engine just sucks

[@Wbfuhn]

I did a search on the engine in the current Corvette which is a LT6. I checked Chevy's website and they only sell the LT4, which is still powerful. Personally 300hp is enough plenty. Unfortunately these engines are expensive.

CVT is the most underrated transmission, and an awesome option.

CVT is simply the king.
