A clutch might help with the engine stalling problem. You could have it disconnect the transmission and differential while you change gears, and ease the load on the engine.

The game adds drag to the swivel joints, gears, and basically anything that rotates other than the ball joint, the amount of drag that thing has will make it not go as fast, I've made something like this but didn't work as well... Nice work man! It really could have some improvements, also the engine could also have some improvements but its amazing! Nice work! I also suggest you use the "No limits" mod to help out, when you want to, you can use the "Easy scale" mod to scale stuff and build cool things!

[@pzkw8606]

maybe you could build a turbine with haeted water canons, a turbine in besiege creates way more torque than a piston engine (I know this because I created both (my piston engine was yet slightly different from your, more powerful but much heavier), and the turbine is definitly more reliable, simple and powerful to power a car)

[@maxbuilder1070]

Try smaller wheels, that will make the enigne run better You can imagine it with the wheels being the powered gear and the ground being the unpowerd gear

FUN FACT: you can build an automatic transmission by having a pair of differentials connected to each other with one side being low gear and the other being high gear.

[@Eternon2000]

Ok so i wanted to first tell you how much i appreciate you for uploading besiege stuff, it´s one of my favourite games and i love to watch other peoples creations. I´ve been building transmisions in besiege for years and i thought of giving you some advice but, appart from trying to build things in a smaller scale i cant think of any. I love the piston motor and if i could only say one thing it would be that you should use the bearings in a more compact way., placing them head to head only makes it double its size. If you simply put one on top of the other like you do when you use them with gears you gain some space that may be whats making your builds too heavy to move. Appart from that, thank you and good luck, I hope your channel grows a lot and more people enjoys your content.

[@niclasheins6272]

you really have to get the no bounds mod. you can put every value up to invinite und even negativ numbers

[@niclasheins6272]

and a lil tip: if you want to stabilize something, put that, what you want to stabilize, on a weightblock and set the weight to 1. it will make everything less sketchy. and to change the gears doesnt really make a big differens ( in that game). wheels in that game, that you connect to something have a strange property. kind of a maximum wheel spin. you can spin it faster but there ist one point, what makes the wheel really hard to spin. it isnt worth it, to change the gears. just a 1:1 ratio is the best. if you want to go faster, give it more power and bigger wheels.

[@TheeOtherChannel]

Might be worth adjusting the firing sequence of the pistons, having them go 1,2,3,4 gives an oscillating torque profile as the force twisting the cranks gets closer. Someone correct me but I'm sure Inline 4's fire 1,3,2,4.

[@ATLAStheprotogen1]

My transmission is more Sketchy it’s basically a CVT but it has torque problems and they randomly explode

[@kindatim]

Just wanted to say that most of your "but it shakes" or "it doesn't hold in place" or "slips off" problems can be fixed by bracing the frame. It just pains my eyes and ears when you struggle with it and I want to help you then! Still, great videos, much appreciated!

[@jjposeidon206]

Dude your stuff is great! Learn to trust braces as your main building tool. They're stronger and WAY more versatile than wood. Lately, I've been making most of my machines with braces as the main structure and wood blocks as joints.

[@2016709889]

You get ideas from their website (in game they have the site connected to app, under download planes. But it’s not just planes.) I don’t work for SimplePlanes by the way

[@Ksilisab]

very cool video.

[@GoundG]

Questions I just found your channel a few days ago, i like the content, i have never seen this game before so I have absolutely no idea what is possible in the game, so my question is related to what is possible to do with the tools you can use for your builds Question 1: would it be possible to make a right angle gear box? Or just have the gears in this game be 90 degrees on each other Q2: would that potentially help on the stability and prevent some of the gears from slipping? Q3 is it possible to make a differential gear? Q4: 4 wheel drive? Yes? No?

[@mattevans4377]

The gearbox could actually be quite useful, low gears help you get up steep slopes, high gears help with ramming speed ;) Much more flexible than having just one speed.

[@nihalashik8750]

"im a certified transmissionologist"

[@deeznutz5825]

please mount two engines in the car and make it longer, it also needs a clutch and brakes. Once you finish this you can email it to draegast to get it on his best besiege creations series.

[@polydullmemes3497]

Next you should make a car with the wheels moving WITH the terrain instead of bouncing and bumping on it

[@randomnobody660]

Hey, don't sell yourself short. This is already an i8 engine. V6 or 8 would be a downgrade. Honestly v shapes are probably quite a lot of trouble. The natural next thing to do imo is to get the top half working and make a flat 16.

[@TheMilfMoncher]

[@poketopa1234]

[@2016709889]

[@seukariakumi3490]

You might enjoy the mod 'colliderscope.' It shows you the colliders, connection points and build points on blocks which might help you make everything tighter. Its not the prettiest thing, but it can help with mechanical set-ups.

[@Andrey_27249]

I bet you've played factorio, and if you haven't you should give it a go. Either way, some factorio content on this channel would be awesome!

[@1xXianXx1]

I absolutely love your designs but it makes me feel infinitely uncomfortable that you don't position your gears perpendicular to each other which would allow them to more of mesh instead of just trying to catch each other. This could conserve space and would completely solve your constant slipping issue. Just a thought :p

[@Garlic_BreadEnjoyer]

Your viewers is slowly growing something entertaining to watch watch a channel grow Nearly 100k

[@TheSoschianGamer]

While the V6 would certainly be harder on the synchronisation, one of the problems with your current engine is the even set-up. With this you have effectively two pistons pushing direcly against each other. If you decide to place the pistons differently with the V8 this could be solved/bypassed, but if not not I think a V6 is the better of the two options for power.

[@GusCraft460]

You use a lot of unnecessary pieces in your builds. For example, your first axle has twenty braces, four rotation joints, and six blocks of wood blocks of wood in between the two ends, but you could just directly link the two wheels with a single brace connecting to the center of both wheels. You are adding unnecessary weight, resistance, and fragility to your builds.

[@Alniemi]

this is awesome!, you should go big and make a v10 or w16! and increase the wheelbase of the car, maybe put the engine in front rather than on top? Just ideas, great video!

[@alecguevara1835]

[@gamestuff1959]

Never heard of this game till i started watching your videos. What you have created really is awesome regardless of its usability in game. i love watching this kind of content. i do wonder if there is anyway to make something chain driven? also had you thought about perhaps moving the crank shaft to the lower side of the engine and have the pistons above? my reasoning is you may lose less power this way as you can direct drive with a drive shaft of sorts. rather then transfer the power with the cogs / gears to the gear box. any play between cogs / gears will reduce your overall power output, especially with so much play within the gearbox its self which isn't fault of yours. or any fault for that matter, just the confines of the work space :)

[@philurname6575]

You can use braces and two unpowered stacked ontop of each other to create rotating pieces that are only half of the size and much more stable btw, rather than using swivel joints. I've built suspension, constant velocity transmission, planetary gear based transmission, and a v8 engine in besiege before, and its interesting to see the ways you're going about solving the same problems.

[@EconomyElk]

This is very cool. Do you think you could try to make a car suspension system next? I love building suspension systems in besiege and I’d love to see what you come up with.

I just recently found your channel and am now a big fan. My only problem is that as a bit of a layman I struggle to understand and follow what you are doing as you go, and often have to rewind to fully grasp it. I think your videos would be much easier to follow if you took a second to explain your intention or goal before starting a particular mechanism so that we could visualise the rest of the system as you start to build it. Other than that, love the channel!

[@brendalaurenza7881]

put pistons on all 4 sides of the engine to get more torque

[@thatonegamer6032]

Your speeds were backwards, the slowest is actually the first gear since it has the most torque to get the car moving, the fastest being the least torquiest but fastest spinning gear pushes the already moving car without need for much torque

[@winthropbarranda9438]

Couldn't you increase the width of the gears to reduce slipping?
