The SP DUNEKICKER is the best Truck in BeamNG....and it's not even close

[@thatsgottahurt]

For anyone who hasnt played Bajarama (Utah Extra map) in a while. The Dunekicker (and the new D15 Rock Racer config) nails every single jump on that track perfectly. The whoops are so easy in this truck. My lap times dropped 10% or more on most tracks I try with the new truck and D15 RockRacer config.

[@itsdokko2990]

Bajarama is one of the OG BeamNG modded maps, i think it was featured on the predecessor of Beam, Rigs of Rods

[@McBeamer94]

And the D15 Rock Racer has existed since the 0.21 Update, which dropped 2 years ago (December 15th 2020). It just got some minute styling refreshes, along with the D15 Prerunners.

Stinks that the original Bajarama doesn't show up in Beam anymore

[@thicccwagon]

@@McBeamer94 the Rock Racer config feels completely different now. It definitely got some engine/transmission tuning updates. It's used to be miserable to drive, but now it's fast and fun

[@R2Y2V2]

Just to let you know that the Dune Kicker is an actual Trophy Truck that is ment to race, the Prerunner, scouts the race course for the Trophy trucks, they are heavier and have a lot more gear on them as they need to make sure that a trophy truck can actually run the course and can get themselves unstuck if needed while scouting the course. TLDR: Prerunner = Scout Dune Kicker = Actual race car

[@MiL7z]

So many people have no idea what they are man. Let alone know how the suspension works or how to tune it, then there's me with over 100 configurations of my own for the D series alone lol

[@demented_cycles]

And usually the prerunner is a street legal truck built from stock trucks where the TT is purpose built and shares no components with a stock vehicle

[@Noisy_Boys]

@@MiL7z yeah, i have no idea how to tune offroad shit, race tracks are my specialty

[@lanerasnake6265]

For me personally I like the prerunner more mainly for the size difference, engine setups and 4 wheel drive

[@SteveHarrellRally]

Occasional desert racing navigator here. In desert races (like Baja or the Mint 400) the navigator has the main (and often only) GPS so they can provide directions to the driver. With blinding dust and hidden cliffs or washouts it's critical for the navigator to be constantly watching the GPS and letting the driver know what's coming up

[@VroodenTheGreat]

I bought this for 25 bux and there is no end to the free stuff. I feel like I hit the lottery. I'll be playing this for a LONG time.

[@tejdz1337]

the beamng team is one of the last true dev teams who care about the game and community instead of money

[@jwalster9412]

What I love amount this truck is the small things, like how the panels come off of the frame easier than they do eachother, so if you hit a rock on the back, the whole side comes off like it probably would with those fiberglass panels irl.

[@drumstick74]

Hi Neil. Thanks for another great video. When you're at the screen at 11:30, in the right column click "Performance" to better see the difference between the models. You get horsepower info, weight, etc. I keep yelling at the screen when you are in doubt about the stats on the cars. I hope you see this message.

[@pequod4557]

The only annoying thing here for me is the distracting badly implemented dust and smoke effects. It feels like a texture card emission instead of a continuous flow.

[@Dacarwhizz]

They added new tire smoke but the dust is kinda sucky

[@matthewpauls2498]

Totally agree. The graphics have gotten really nice except for the dust which is still terrible

[@ٴ-ق1ت]

Well at the moment the best solution is probably using driver cam or hood cam

[@adamafifrowigmailcom]

i think beamng devs has to make that decision to get the game runs better, less smoke the better i guess because then the game has to simulate realistic smoke/dust while those beam engine working hard on the computer, my guess 🤷

[@theneonbop]

@@adamafifrowigmailcom It would be impossible to simulate smoke realistically, but there are still artistic ways it could more closely approximate the real thing.

[@danicastaneda1099]

The dune-kicker is absolutely amazing, however I find the Pre-runner to be a lot better at going over dunes. It's not only lighter, its suspension is higher, and built to withstand high jumps like that. Where the dune kicker is more speed and less focused on taking massive jumps, not to say it doesn't.

[@notanengineer]

The dune-kicker is lighter than the pre-runner

If the views arnt high, it will be like the scintilla, lots and lots of effort by the devs, but most of the influencers community doesn't touch it because the views arnt what they want.

[@kj64gaming19]

@@jwalster9412 I think what happened with the Scintilla is that it's not as good as it should have been. It has the same problems that the old Bolide has, too much power, not enough grip. It's slower around tracks than other cars, like the Hillclimb versions of the Sunburst, SBR4, Pessima, and Wendover. Even the purpose-built racecar versions of the Scintilla aren't good enough for the track, all they are is really fast cars that happen to be cool looking. What was wrong with the Scintilla is that it wasn't good enough. That's it. And that's the problem with supercars in real life, too. They may look cool and go fast, but they're not actually as good as they seem, and that's why the only people who like supercars are people who don't know much about cars.

[@jwalster9412]

@@kj64gaming19 I like the handling, it takes alot to master. Yes there's not much grip, but I'm fine with that. it's a fun car to drive at high speeds, not really at low though.

I remember playing Colin McRae Dirt 2. I loved racing these prerunner trucks. And that game had cool graphics, great audio, quite small requirements, and the physics hit the sweetest spot between arcade and sim. It felt real, but I was still able to play it with keyboard and have a good fun. And now BeamNG got to the point where it has the same features but YOU CAN CRASH !!!

I'm not a Traxxas fan so I have a Losi Super Baja Rey 2.0. This summer it went 54.7 mph without the cage/body and came to the conclusion I may need a bigger grass field and no concrete curb at the end.

Very cool to drive but the one you have during the scenario where you have to complete a track in under 5:00:00 is wayyyyyy too fragile, and way too keen to flip over this thing is supposed to have a low gravity center and good suspensions and it keeps bouncing everywhere and flipping for almost nothing. Maybe it's the terrain because hell, they made so much holes and bumps and rocks and shit down there that the suspension are never ready to take on something as they're already sent over 9000 in their own asses. This scenario felt terrible while driving the trucks in free roam is a bit better, as the terrain is not a complete mess that is ... BeamNG is still a fucking dream and I hope it will keep this quality and this dedication forever. Love the team, love the game.

[@how2pick4name]

I just got this because I can finally run it. Those rock crawler/racer things are insanely fun to drive at max speed over the dirt trails imho. Keeping it straight and upright is a real task though. I haven't had this much fun playing a game for a while now.
