[@magical_chaos]

One thing I appreciate about ScrapMan is, he is doing everything in his power to avoid using glitches

[@Pale_Kingg]

Me, on the other hand, with glitches and everything, *can't make it to top 1%* 😩

[@crated_]

Agreed, though personally I love tinkering with game mechanics. I wish scrap would pay attention to where he puts gyros for turning though.

[@ryangaming-dn2zc]

19:36 the "ahhhhhh" and then scrapman disappearing has been in couple of videos but it still makes me laugh😂

[@damionxd5575]

[@KurzhaarBard]

Challenge: Build a vehicle that finishes a race for you using logic. Instead of just using endless amounts of timing for turns, you could try to use distance sensors in the new race island course because it has borders

[@thesunnynationg]

@@KurzhaarBard because of the weight for all the logic it's not even worth considering.

[@michaelklog]

@@thesunnynationg no it's not for a time that is useful it's just for a completetion.

[@Mazapine]

Self driving cars are a lot of fun to build, this could be a fun video

[@thesunnynationg]

@@michaelklog I was assuming we are talking about viable builds. just to finish it could be very easy.

[@KurzhaarBard]

@@thesunnynationg Easy solution would be to just try to make the fastest vehicle to finish the course automatically.

[@toni0034]

I wish glitch builds were removed from the leaderboard. that's the only reason why I don't bother with races

[@Scrabbles-dq2mn]

Yeah that would be nice

[@irrelevantsafety]

Or at least a separate category like TAS runs on trackmania

[@1mariomaniac]

​@@irrelevantsafety Yeah, with this though it'd be more difficult because in order to do this autonomously you'd have to have the game recognize certain combinations of blocks as UFO glitches or zero-drag glitches, or whatever else people come up with.

[@irrelevantsafety]

@@1mariomaniac it would have to be honor system unfortunately

[@nikkiofthevalley]

​@@irrelevantsafetyOr have it be moderated by trusted players.... Like literally every speedrun leaderboard in existence.

[@Heyec]

Funny timing! This morning I was playing the canals hover race and managed a top 10 using basically your design. (I went up a league to add an extra hover pad, moved the gyro stabilizer, removed the fins and replaced them with a regular gyro.)

[@ForgedInKaos]

If we want to see that struggle he said...Scrapman you should already know we want to see ALL of the struggle. YES PLEASE! Seriously though watching you beat glitch builds with your vanilla builds is absolutely HILARIOUS! Keep it up sir!

[@mark2446.]

is noone going to mention scrapman turning into a cat at 21:29?

[@igamelotsbro5468]

7:33 bro hit that “ I’ve only had used 10% of my power”

[@MPSGAS]

You should totally go back for revenge and redo all the races wihout any restricions, use all the glitches and tricks you can, it'll be the scrapman villian arc EDIT: To those of you saying cheating is lame, I agree, that's why it's only acceptable because he already proved himself without cheating, if he decides he doesn't want to be on the leaderboards by cheating he can take note of the times and then do the races offline.

[@soldit_Dumes]

Ah the scrapman

[@naejelangelogonzales6623]

Now thats _crapy_

[@thesunnynationg]

I suggested the same on one of the races. It's not crappy, it's revenge.

[@Dtizap]

YES

[@grantwayl]

Nah glitches are pretty lame tbh

[@dr.salazar3167]

Now I'm thinking about it, what would time look like with glitches on this design

[@boltplayz1671]

25:05 he didn’t blink once lol

[@pharneposht4329]

One crazy thing you could try is putting hover pad on a max dampening min stiffness suspension. This could help with bumps and bouncing.

[@Pumpnineteen]

dealing with uneven terrain sounds like fun!

[@PIGGYboi]

You could use wedges on steering hinges pointing straight up then press a button to face them forward to change how much downforce you have so that when you fly up you can go back down it would add a bit of drag but it could be a negligible difference (im sure someone smarter can think of a better way to do this but this is all can come up with)

[@PIGGYboi]

Or put the final engine on hinges that angle up and down so you can just fly down when you go up

[@bigsmartfish]

yeah i was thinking speed or altitude sensor and have steering hinges change angle at a certain speed, or height

[@cat_03tv]

How bout the Top 1% Series goes to a few select tracks in TM Rally?

[@CaterNaut]

an asymmetric design in my opinion could benefit, the track is not symmetric, the forces on the big turn are not balanced between the sides of the vehicle, i think the tuning should be done right and left side indipendently corrisponding to the needs, scrapman already has done a design like this but overall uses a symmetric design for his creations

[@aryansnath8100]

i would love to see scrapman do all these races using glitches

[@leshy1878]

2:40 "Oh look, a penny!"

[@antondeputat8814]

6:07 You could try seeing if your theory holds up and how hoverpads dampen falls and push up

[@semajniomet981]

Here's a challenge idea for you Scrapman: Finish a race using ONLY idle thrust. Basically you're going to have to travel REALLY slow in order to not fail the start-up. Either that or have a trigger for some logic to have you speed up once the countdown completes.

[@duncho]

I would love to see that struggle, these leaderboard videos have been my favourite series. You could also do all the races again but on a different powercore league than the prior time.

[@mihalydozsa2254]

You had this nosedive issue in the original video too. As the front turns you loose the down force. I think I left the comment to just move the top part of the wedge to supplement the turning, so you don't loose the down force as the front is not your moving direction to those wedges anymore as you turn.

[@TinaGloria2012]

Excuse me the word is lose - loose refers to the lack of tightness of an object.

[@mihalydozsa2254]

Thank you for pointing out my mistake :-) it helps to learn the langage.

[@vriendloos5919]

Might be interesting to see you do some of them no core. Not to get top 1% just to complete

[@KarstenNeumann79]

These top 10/1% are absolute peak. Can’t wait for the next videos

[@termzilla6607]

I may have two ideas for the next multiplayer videos. 1st: Ufo-Glitch vehicle battle with only a powercore limit, so you can use the ground or crawl up walls (no flying, no hovering, no air time you need to touch terrain). Everyone vs. Everyone. 2nd Hovermissiles: You use a Hoverpad to glide and you propell yourself vertical up with thrusters. The Thrusters need to have a cooldown and you can hunt for examplea a plane that is limited to a certain hight. A group of missiles against one flying vehicle.

[@rylanmoffat7749]

with u only having 3 races left to do a way to maybe continue the series would be to do it with glitches now and to prevent u from putting them on the actual leaderboards u could record the times of them and do it offline so they leader boards dont update online kinda like a personal time and that way you could do it without tainting the actual times (i dont play trailmakers much so im assuing thats how the game would work offline). another idea may be try seeing if using a controller could help improve time because in alot of ur runs using kbnm the twitchiness may actually hinder ur speed like in real life. idk tho but loved this series and your content keep it up

[@drewlucas6266]

Maybe adding more hover pads across the bottom to provide more support across the length may help, or adding slightly angled aerodynamics pieces to moderate the aerodynamics and maybe skim the water may help as well.

[@HalfWolf2]

What would be really cool to see is if they add a grappling hook/harpoon to trailmakers, not only could it make vehicle combat even cooler, with mad Max style close engagements and even like broadsiding and stuff, but it would add a really interesting niche to racing, because you could use them to grapple on corners to allow for extremely tight turning, or even in dogfights could maybe allow you to hairpin turn around thin supports to get the jump on someone chasing you or the like

[@Blueskysigh]

IDEA If it fits air balloon, have turn it on a small bit to lift few pounds off when spawn in (purpose staying leveled) distance sensor to increase the air balloon when you about to dip into the water (6:22 to 6:37) would allow turns like this To equal focuses and stay hovering If flying= air balloon completely off Maybe more turning power

[@clashobot5908]

24:13 take what 💀??

[@theinfernollama8564]

Ah a Scrapman upload just in time for lunch. Anyone else eating lunch?

[@Thegoofygoober-013]

Not for me for me he uploaded at seven in the morning

[@NURTXXN]

Its 7 am for me so no lol

[@ASMRMOOBERT]

Breackfast

[@bulletproof1581]

Third time saying this hoping scrapman see's this, you need to make your builds twice as wide, yes this will slow your acceleration a bit, but this will make your builds way shorter and this will reduce the amount of sideways turning drag, also having a way shorter build increases turning, and this means that you can have weaker turning to compensate, this intern makes you have way smoother turning and way more momentum through the turns and an overall faster time. Hope this helps if you or anyone else see's this :)

[@GabrielWilliamsMTB]

[@ledocteur7701]

4:03 You could have just turned them 180°, I've seen that problem happen to you a lot and you somehow never realized you could do that.

[@Pystro]

Have the two inner wedges pint outwards rather than inwards? Yeah I had the same idea. However, the problem is still that there's a different amount of lift in the turns than on the straights, because the tail fins were not balanced out properly. (*) Having a way to adjust the turn-independent lift won't help because that only allows him to choose between having problems on the straights and having them in the turns. The only real solution I see is to use altitude or distance sensors in order to make an auto-leveling system. And even then the craft would only be _more stable,_ not actually _faster._ Better consistency might help with experimenting, though. (*) For that, he could probably have put one of the rear ones up and the other one of the rear ones down, but that still would only have been _better_ balance not _perfect_ balance.

[@Lockbane]

@ScrapMan Drag that isn't directly in-line with your center of lift will cause a pivot force around that center of lift. The further the drag is away from the center of lift, the more lever force goes into that pivot. Also, it seems there is a slight tilt when you turn that is causing the fins to become wings. Could you try steering with the rear thruster instead of with fins?

[@almostbedtime8720]

A lot of people don't know this, but suspension on a hovercraft is actually very useful

[@IcecalGamer]

Unfortunately ScrapMan, disabling seat-air-control does not affect seat-water-control. S-w-c is hard coded, for some reason that i hate. So if you even touch water with any part of the craft you dive. I've tested the above by making a neutrally buoyant "craft"/test platform of a seat diving bell suspended on 0-power rotors/servos with their imputs/control keys not bound and/or bound to irrelevant keys, going under water not touching bottom, and pressing W/S with and whitout tick on air control disable. The diving bell spins on sadw keys, regardless of air control state.

[@burak1382]

Video idea: Try to replicate ww2 Japanese plane. Kyushu J7W Shinden Video idea 2: Try to go supersonic with only the worst aerodynamics

[@FLOT.1]

i think he almos did that

[@YTubeMS2401]

The first is better than the second.

[@Lothaenorixius]

I have an idea. Copy the fastest vehicle that you can for any particular race, and see if you can even cope with the speed.

[@theramblinggamer9793]

should have tried with ya hover chair, i bet that would have got atleast 5th

[@irrelevantsafety]

That would be funny

[@EpsilonRosePersonal]

IIRC, the hoverchair had a speed under 200, while the craft he was using was in the 300-400 range. Even with the chair being in a lower league, I don't think it would have had the speed to compete.

[@theramblinggamer9793]

@@EpsilonRosePersonal lol obviously, the joke is the meme builds always win.

[@tobiaslundquist6748]

You should try driving/flying with a controller, the joystick let's you control your turns MUCH better and you loose less momentum, same goes for the throttle, air control etc. I thing you should be able to get a little better scores. Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴

[@Altair1243WAR]

Pretty sure a second hover pad would solve your bouncing issues. At the least, you could probably afford to turn them up some so that you're higher off of the ground and less likely to make contact.

[@kantoraxg.2491]

could you make an episode where you try to explain some glitches?

[@Alex-ms6ku]

Gyros do become more effective the closer they are to your centre of mass because of how moments and torque work

[@imreborbas9029]

You could do some of the previous races in different category. For example I don't think you ever did a race in muscle league (I know you said it is basically a glitch competition there, but I'd like to see peak non-glitchy there at least once). Also maybe you could have a multiplayer competition where the limit is not power cores or blocks, but size: Let's say you need to fit your build in a 10x10 cube. I got that idea when you tried space thrusters, since their main advantage is size

[@rjgraylight]

Try all the races! I know you can do it Scrapman! Top 10 for them all!

[@timehunter9467]

I’d like to see what the leaderboards look like with all the glitch builds removed. It’d be a much better experience for legit players.

[@Gx0177]

Idea : Try moving the seat in the center instead of filling tre space with blocks

[@Le_pro14]

"ScrapCat isnt real, he cant hurt you" ScrapCat: 21:29

[@AlrenClan]

Going offline and trying to get the WR or any other insanely good time with using glitches would be crazy.

[@az8560]

These races evolve every single vehicle into a thrusterstick

[@theminerboy5694]

Maybe get rid of one of the gyro stabilizers so you can have a second hover pad and move the other ones to the centre of the creation.

[@rozerom593]

Why not add wedges connected to the servos and last jet engine pushing the rear end downwards with wedges in the front facing upwards to balance it out more?

[@mach5406]

The Devs definitely need to add more races

[@Maxwelliouss]

You might want to consider using the small propellers instead. I'm in the top ten on a few races because everyone is sleeping on them.

[@bloodwolf7]

The dev should just do different category for the leaderboard, glitch and glitchless, it's probably impossible to check it with a program but maybe they can just check the top 10 or 15 once per 2 weeks and change them in the right category

[@EthanJones-m7s]

Cool idea, try and make an auto emp gun, then battle some type of vehicle.

[@diogopereira462]

It would be dope to see a video of you using glitchs

[@BeefIngot]

I wonder if slight asymmetry could help for minorly tuning whether it flies up or down.

[@chicodangergaming4984]

Just for giggles do a UFO glitch race. I think it would be a fun thing to do

[@Hlebuw3k]

Maybe moving the hover forward, in front of your center of mass, will fix going underwater

[@lololol626]

wouldnt the leaning circuit from the floating couch/loveseat dethrone video help?

[@cyanide_stew]

Oh My God there are 2 bots THEY ARE INCREASING

[@davidcanoy8579]

All struggles are fun to watch.

[@gergelyracz8240]

You could try doing the trailmakers rally races...

[@colossalcubes]

have you done any videos on wedges and whether they have different strengths in altering trajectory? like maybe a 2x1 wedge isnt as aerodynamic as a 4x1 but because the angle of the wedge is steeper it applies more perpendicular force? if it does maybe you could sacrifice some aerodynamics for stability by balancing the forces of different wedges.

[@colossalcubes]

also i know trailing aerodynamics is far less important for air, but maybe adding some will change the effect of the perpendicular forces of the wedge.

[@Dragoneer17]

Pretty much all of there videos: a stick of thrusters, some angles wedges, and some thin, precarious connection beams

[@pillsburydoughboy15]

I wanna see that struggle! :)

[@patrickbliss9264]

2:52 I'm assuming your vehicle is too long for one hover block to work properly. 11:07 Flying is the way to go if want 1st place, but since that's not intended by good old Johannes you don't want to do it. To stop flying the least annoying way would be pitch control, such as an elevator.

[@Sulphur_67]

i think there might be a phyisics glitch here because here and in the fastes all around the island course video you were dealing with this issue of goijg into the water

[@flamenskall2016]

maybe try adding a buoyancy device so when you scrape the water you keep float

[@gl1tch144]

Gonna have to up my glitchless score. I got 9th hoping he’d see my ghost but for him to get past me so easily is impressive

[@anteshell]

What are those pipe pieces on top of your craft that hold it together and why they are so asymmetric and nonsensical? The only thing I can come up with is that they do not weigh anything and do not have any air resistance, but that cannot be it because you're still using those flat connectors which do weigh a little.

[@A3Musics-gd3pv]

Loving the edition on latest videos

[@alexcannon-microdot]

A distance sensor that pitches the nose slightly up or down to keep hover distance?

[@AngelboyVR]

gotta love liquid drum

[@ABitDarkk]

Love it scrap :D

[@0megaming]

How about going on the grand prix track and looking into F1 cars in the workshop? ^^

[@shay5025]

Why not use left/right speed sensors connected your turning with minor input value so that they are always working to stabilize your wobbles, but not enough to override your turning inputs.

[@FUGP72]

Have you tried using more of brick design? It's the superior shape.

[@puipuixproduction]

Scrapman complaining that opponents use glitches when Scrapman uses pay2win blocks

[@sejt23]

the large jets..?

[@puipuixproduction]

@@sejt23 yep. It's the most power per core thruster. I think it can provide twice the power than dragon jet for the same number of core

[@turkeyman1123]

Is it possible to tune the lift/downforce by simply replacing aerodynaimc blocks at the top with more or less effective wedge blocks? a 1x3 wedge should increase drag at the top of the vehicle a small amount causing the angle of the vehicle to be pulled up right? since rotating the 1x4 wedges was too large of a difference maybe this difference would be small enough to find the balance.

[@LorKlapzz]

At 23:45 look at number 2 it kind of looks like he went to the left side of the rock and checkpoint

[@snupty]

21:28 "meow"

[@ShortTurtle-f1w]

after your done with all the races you should redo them but with glitching if needed to see if you can get first in them

[@jeff20one76]

One thing that bugs me... if rotating BOTH wedges is too much, why not just try rotating one? same thing with the fins... if moving BOTH fins up is too much, why not try moving just one of the fins up... its fine if the vehicle is slightly asymmetrical. I feel like Scrapman for some reason just ruled it out as a possibility subconsciously...

[@ultimatetybreaker3467]

You should try a glitch run on at least one of these races.

[@Krypton2.15]

Oh I took that turn way sharper ... AHHhhnn::-_. "Famous last words" 😂😂

[@ryanturner9273]

There ought to be a rule where if a glitch is detected then the player should be DQed from the race so that legit players have a chance.

[@justadude7455]

I mean, at this point I figure you may as well get yourself onto the leaderboard of every race

[@connorjohnson9702]

@ScrapMan use other wedges with different drag values to dial in smaller increments of up and down force instead of turning the best wedges as whole units.

[@Keidono_]

You should complete every race again but with glitches

[@Bees24562]

You should do a video trying out the glitches

[@NURTXXN]

Bring on the struggle!

[@RecoveryAtom]

Could you do a dogfight with planes that rely on thrust vectoring

[@charlesaquiler1725]

I think the trailmakers gonna banned those players who cheated using glitches such as Ry$en. The Devs need to updated it SO hard so the glitch-users won’t do it anymore, when it comes races and everything, need cheese proof.
