Tip for Long Jumps: The downforce from the spoilers might be the reason you are not improving your distance, Try making smaller and lighter cars with electric engines as they give a lot of acceleration.

[@haydenratcliffe1138]

Spoilers are part of the issue, the challenge is actually quite easy when you realise you can reverse for a longer run up, I commented that on the last vid, but clearly Scrapman didn't read it haha

[@lavarsch]

@@haydenratcliffe1138 Yeah, i was trying to build a plane, but had issues with the propulsion in the air, but building huge wings is super fun, especially with later parts

[@PitBull51091]

[@lokithewitful]

Can you rotate the downforce wing to give up force? That might give it more lift.

The ability to compare stats of different cars should be built into the game.

Hey Mr. ScrapMan, Thanks for the awesome video! Marc and me just watched it, and we were so impressed by the gear shift you constructed in the first vehicle with the electric and combustion engines! It is so much fun for us to see you explore our game and all the features in it. And you and your editor have already inspired us a lot, each video gives us more ideas of what to add to the game. Stay tuned for the next update, we did something with the speedometer ;) Cheers, Simon and Marc

[@MvnStn]

Oh, man, does this comment bring me excitement! Your game is great, and you both have received a lot of praise in the steam update comments, as well! Thanks for your game, it has rekindled a new love for gears and ratios for me. lol Looking forward to more content. Cheers!

[@michealfreeman9714]

An interesting idea would be to add a diagnostic mode. Where the car is fully animated but only runs in place in a liminal space so that you could watch how all the parts without having to watch where the car is going.

[@YannickBo]

At 13:05 the gear shift for the electric engine seems to shift down again. I don't think it should do that. Is that a bug? If not why is it doing that?

[@davidaugustofc2574]

If I may make a suggestion, we need more road-only race courses, some purpose built race tracks on the map

[@Dragoneer17]

Hello, I've been enjoying your game! Here are some things that I would like to see in the game, if it would be possible! First, I had made a cool F1 car in career mode, but then by accident I worked on it in creative, and now even though it only has campaign parts that I own, I can't use it in the campaign. It would be nice if I could bring this car back to the campaign. Second, not a big thing at all, but could you eventually work on some of the animations in build mode? Some of them are quite confusing. Thank you!

[@PhilCoati]

Taking the downforce off may help with long jumps

[@Igotchuk]

or flip it

[@boldey]

The speed that scrapmans car went down was kinda funny. Although you can stop the downforce by tilting the car in midair but its kinda hard to get perfect.

[@hunterburbank6544]

A fun little bit of engineering. At 18:00 the green car's "airbrake" isn't an airbrake really. It's the rear spoiler that lifts up when they stop accelerating. Downforce towards the back of a vehicle helps keep the car straight for efficient acceleration and plenty of grip, whereas downforce towards the front causes more sensitive turning. By lifting the back spoiler out of the way like that they're shifting their downforce forward at-will for the best of both worlds.

[@omerbilir3784]

formula 1 does the opposite: when they are accelerating they reduce downforce and when they are cornering they increase the downforce why is that?

[@yayeetmeoffacliff4708]

​@@omerbilir3784 DRS, as the name suggests, reduces drag ON THE STRAIGHTS. This is because the downforce created by an F1 car creates drag, thus limiting the top speed of the car. DRS reduces that drag by turning the rear wing into a straight aerofoil (basically), which reduces drag and increases top speed. DRS is off when cornering because F1 cars need the downforce to turn well. Additionally, F1 cars have the acceleration to basically mitigate the drag from the downforce at lower speeds.

[@K41E8]

woahhhh thats awesomeeee

[@Nitrofan_Kerm]

@@yayeetmeoffacliff4708 It works in the game too. I checked. The difference in maximum speed from the same place is noticeable. Despite the fact that the wing rotation mechanism worsens aerodynamics and increases weight.

[@omerbilir3784]

@@yayeetmeoffacliff4708 yes, i know that but in the game that green guy does the opposite, he increases the drag on straights. i was wondering why was that

5:20 tip for building, use axles for longer pins 10:18 middle ckick and it tells you the part

[@haydenratcliffe1138]

Axles don't create a solid mounting point, it can result in uncontrollable torque twist, especially when you get into the more powerful engines and motors, you always need atleast one solid mounting point

[@torinpena288]

With that first tip... Don't use too many axles as pins in a row. They're still calculated as hinges, even if you have two axles holding a beam in place. I know because that was the first way I tried building a semi truck trailer. It was *very* glitchy.

[@marblesneeze8064]

engine's don't really need to be pinned just put it on the axle and its fine. it can sometime do some weird torque stuff but it usually doesn't

[@collinkaufman2316]

​@@haydenratcliffe1138false, if you use the correct mounting point it will be solid, just like the outer end of some lego technic corner bricks with the plus holes

[@haydenratcliffe1138]

@@collinkaufman2316 false, even using correct mounting points my creation did barrel rolls if I pressed reverse, added a single solid mounting point and problem solved...

[@alex705pro]

Tip when building: you can use your middle mouse button to quick select the part you're looking at so you don't have to estimate/count the length of it or go back in the menu to grab it again. Also you can press F9 to switch the build camera to how it worked in the demo, if you preferred it like that.

[@sirsapphire3499]

One huge tip I can give you for many gear ratios in a car: Have a neutral axis in between two axles that are on gear shifters, like your first car, but make it so that the neutral axis isn't the driveshaft/output. What you want to do is make it so that one gear shifter can give input to the neutral axle at two different ratios, and have that output to another axle on a shifter, that can then take the neutral's output at a high or low ratio as well, so the shifters can compound their ability to adjust between torque and speed. Once you do this, and have a shifter adjusting its input to a neutral, and a shifter adjusting what ratio it accepts the neutral's power from, you get 4 gears at different torque/speed ratios. Then, all you have to do is give the first shifter some engines and make the second one output to wheels, and the 4 speed transmission will eliminate having to know where electric vs combustion does best in the drivetrain.

[@donalddickerson206]

I was also thinking about the neutral gearing while watching. I'm just a lay person--don't know the engineering. But i commented on a previous video with a transmission video from 1936 that lays out the very basics (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gICvpYZqi7qWrLM).

[@hunterburford1347]

I feel that if he uses a central shaft with the 3 different size gears and another shaft with the 3 gear shifter that allow for a 6 speed. 1st: small to big gear 2nd: small to medium 3rd: medium to medium 4th:medium to small 5th: big to medium 6th: big to small

[@isaididontknow_]

5:44 you can also use the axles as long pegs, so you can put all the combustion engines next to eachother.

[@haydenratcliffe1138]

That causes physics glitches, especially when you get to more powerful motors

[@isaididontknow_]

@@haydenratcliffe1138 oh ok, haven't experienced that myself

[@PleasurePeeks]

@@haydenratcliffe1138 i got a 500+mph vehicle connected only with axels.

[@BeefIngot]

I've completed the tech tree without any gas engines (electric only). All is possible when you do them exact opposite of the gearing at the start of the video. You need more speed out of the electric engines in the game as opposed to real life, in this game, electric motors cap out rpm wise way sooner than the gas engines. Once you get the planetary gearing, with big enough motors, you won't even need to shift. I was able to hit 370 kmph on the long straightaway using just electric motors and planetary gearboxes. Also for gearing, the game automagically figures out how to set the order, so don't worry about that. The same is true for engine direction. Lastly, down force is a balance, and you really want to brake just before making turns as braking during turns is harder to control due to weight shift.

[@demonic999.]

For more acceleration u should ask Kan he has made a good gear ratio in his vehicle with a very high top speed ✌🏻

[@Waffle66]

it was high top speed but im pretty sure his acceleration was quite kinda slow no?

A small tip when testing gear boxes: turn ON the manual gear shifting option, in the Options Menu. This way you can see how your Gear shifters behave on each speed, by tapping [.] and [,] in the keyboard.

[@plzletmebefrank]

Another tip, you can put an axle right behind the shifting part of the gear shift. This section will not shift. You can put engines back here. You can even attach it to a gear shift on the other end of that axle for all wheel drive with shifting gears. Either symmetrical shifting or asymmetrical.

[@kilbymorgan8626]

I'm waiting for the Screwdriver community to develop optimum vehicle configurations. You know with a game with this much detail and freedom someone is going to figure out the BEST of it all.

[@K41E8]

10:17, scrapman, did you know that if you click the middle mouse button (the scroll wheel) you not only see what part it is, but it is reselected for you to use again!

[@rexracer4380]

First off. I never thought I should put a gear shift for each motor type to allow for better power management. I am going to need to try that now. Thanks for that. A building tip: if you put the biggest gear you plan to use closest to the gear shifter, you can make them a little smaller. It isn't much smaller, but it helps. It also helps make sense of the gear shifter 3x2 hitbox. When making gearboxes, remember that the bigger the difference in the sizes (like large to small) the sharper the cliff in that power graph. Also unlocking the 3 gear shifter makes more complicated gearing easier.

[@rexracer4380]

To clarify: the 2 gear shifters can have the gears next to each other if the big gear is close to the base and the small one is on the outside. Put the gear gap on the non-shifting axles to make them smaller. It should be how the game demonstrates it in the part tutorial.

[@mp3_jpg]

Heres something I've learned playing racing games at a mid-level: You should tune your car so that you just barely reach your top speed at the fastest part of the course. Because if you cap out, your wasting time you could be accelerating, and if you barely reach top speed, some of that wasted energy can go into acceleration. Of course this means changing your cars for the course, which isn't something too viable at the moment, but if you want to optimize one time, or one race is really hard, you can try it out. Of course, this is in a vacuum, so it's not perfect, but yknow. (If anyone more advanced has any ideas to contest this, I'm interested)

[@PleasurePeeks]

just make the engines stay in their optimal power band.

[@DanyF02]

The ability to compare power graphs in blue and orange between 2 different setups is something the game should offer itself, it's so convenient. Good job editor.

Please don’t let that happen to this series too.

[@MagicZ_YT]

Congrats on 900K next is the big million :)

[@vale.44peru]

the downforce might be what's keeping you down (literally) on the long jumps, less downforce > more air time > longer jump

[@gokselaras9002]

Gear ratios are also important. You should have much more variety between gears and to do that you can try making like big to mid, mid to small and big to small gears and put extra axles and small gears on to that extra axle to connect them together or you'll only get 2 speed gearboxes

[@bouwser02]

I think the acceleration stat is just the peak acceleration on your power curve, which in your case was at very slow speeds. That is why adding the electric motor outside of your shifter slightly increased the acceleration stat because it only applied at low speeds where your best power already was. Putting the engine in the shifter didn't help quite as much at low speeds because of your gear ratio, but would make it actually do something at higher speeds after the gear shift where the one outside of the shifter did nothing. That is why your car flew up to ~80kph but was really slow to accelerate to top speed after that. I find it best to mostly look at the power curve rather than the stats they give you because it better resembles the true power output as your car gains speed.

[@GigaCHADD13]

you can make a better steering if you use spinning weights if you use an engine then attach a weight above it you can configure the engine to A and D to spin it I always do this to turn sharply *for the long jump you can just rotate the downforce wing or inlet to make it more like a wing *also HAPPY 900K SCRAP!!! road to 1MIL!!!

If you’d like some help improving your vehicle design, I would recommend checking out some of the vehicles on the workshop. If you end up making a video where you check out other people’s cars, I would love to see what you think of my “Skull Speeder”

[@Lexoka]

Don't pay too much attention to your acceleration stat, it's just a theoretical value that you get when your power system reaches maximum torque. Focus on raising the power curve as high as possible, and as broadly as possible, because this is what determines how hard the engine can push you at any given speed (roughly speaking).

[@jatoxo]

The graph displays torque at the wheels. Depending on the size of the wheel, the force put into the ground will vary At a torque of 200 Nm a wheel with a radius of 0.5 meters will put a force of 400N into the ground. With perfect grip and a given mass you can calculate the acceleration a = F / m. Say the vehicle ways 500kg, the acceleration would be 400N / 500kg = 0.8 m/s^2

[@dasdeutschefinanzamt]

Tip: the gears do not interfere with the ground so its actually really easy to fit large gears

[@johnathanhen]

Try the Christmas tree method for the gearing for your transmission. It is pretty much two Christmas trees stacked on each other. Mercedes used to do it years ago for their manual transmissions

[@spinnirack3645]

So pro tip For unlocking the parts that require a really heavy vehicle use the big green electric engine to get the weight It is so much cheaper then buying the dedicated weight blocks

[@BLUE_B0sea0cS]

You should have used the gear shifter connected to the wheels and two rows of separate different engines that go into the gear shifter in the middle where one gear shifts between the two engine types. So you get all of the electric engine acceleration and all of the gas engines.

[@Foxskulls428]

SCRAPMAN! Remember, you are going from a high gear ratio straight to small. if you want more even acceleration to top speed you MUST include a 1 to 1 ratio in your shifting set., not just big to small and small to big but a medium to medium in between the game auto shifts, it'll be easy.

[@l3_war_thunder]

Congratulations for 900k subscribers! I hope you hit a million soon!

[@Trashstreamer-w2s]

I have a tip with the gear ratios. You should have all of them with independent engines so that they all have a power source and higher gear should have the electric engines.

[@varlenhaerlerocketmon]

for long jumps, maybe see if you can flip your spoilers for "upforce"

[@Hysorix]

i think the spoilers are making you fall faster on the long jumps, you should try turning the spoilers upside down for the jumps (might work) or removing them

14:09 WOW your editor is good

[@miguelaspeling9741]

I havent watched the video through yet, I am at 9 minutes but i just have to say, if you're connecting electric motors and combustion engines to the same axel you are going to be limited by the maximum rpm of the electric motor. I am not an engineer and i dont know if this game has rev limiters or max rpm programmed in but that to my knowledge is the most likely reason your acceleration takes a massive hit at a certain speed I would make some kind of clutch or diff system to stop the electric motors from limiting your top speed.

[@dragade101]

As an exercise for you, try to only 1 EV motor and 1 gas engine. Then use gears to get more performance from them. There is a point where N engines help cause you have far greater power per your mass. Yet you want to understand basics here before you upgrade the car. Lets look a real world numbers. Red Bull Racing RB18 (2022 F1). 1.6 L engine and only masses in at 798 kg. A Bugatti Chiron has an 8.0 L engine, and masses around 1996 kg. These cars dont have the same aerodynamics but if they were to, the Chiron needs a much larger engine to help offset its mass. Thus building lighter helps you understand what matters more. Or that there is a lot of needless car that makes up the Chiron lol

[@Some.one_298]

Maybe for the long jumps, you can try to make your downforce into lift by flipping your spoilers upside down.

[@masterminer666]

Just so you're aware, this game DOES have a sonic boom if you can build a creation fast enough to break the sound barrier... i found it by glitching theough the ground and falling into the abyss, but i'm sure you can legitimately break the sound barrier

[@toddabbott781]

Instead of the 2 engine shafts shift gear directly with the drive shaft... have the gear shift go to a gear set above, then you can add a gear to change the end ratio (like in a dif) to increase your top speed. Didn't you get a capacitor you can attach to the electric engines? I think have 4 wheel drive improves acceleration. Also take off the downforce for the long jump. Can you make it upforce?

[@Xalo_]

i was just looking if you posted another video on this game

[@MrMohamedlaabidi]

Hello, love your video's, maybe instead of downforce u can reverse it for the long jump ( keep in mind the wing if facing down will collide with the ground so make it a bit elevated )

[@martin128]

Editor is great here!

[@RStolp]

Try adding capacitors to your electric engines, maybe that will help. Also, Kan had made a pretty solid gear ratio if you want to spy his design. Downforce on jumps is also not doing you any favors. But would turning them upside down maybe give you lift??

[@timlolxP]

You could use an electric front axle and power the rear with a gearbox. So that you have awd for low speed and rwd for the high speed with geering. Should be easier to build. Maybe watch somone who build a gearbox with lego parts, bc that stuff is over my head xD

[@arder_D]

I found that using off road suspensin is more beneficial it have more conection point for wings and give you more stability, most tracks have offroad part and bumps, and if you lack of steering you can make rear wheels also steering but it become tooooo sensetive. for long jumps you could remove wings or put them upsidown to keep you in air longer and dont forget that you can control car in the air

[@Armetron]

You forgot to remove your downforce when doing the long jump, I suggest you try again either without it or flip your car upside down when in the air

[@skittleman5630]

[@Nuggets_master69]

Use the down force but putt it upside down so it gives you lift

[@woody7133]

By the way Scrapman, RWD should be better in terms of handling, obviously assuming you also have your engine in the center which you have, so RMR is considered THE handling setup so you know.

[@kennethHorning-Alvia]

in order to make an awd vehicle, take a look at a differential. idk what the gears inside are called, but you can use them t transfer the power to the side of the vehicle here.. 6:40

[@joshuabates2200]

Every top gear (not the show) is for maintaining the current speed, it's for cruising, not for accelerating. If you want more speed you downshift. At least that's how it works in real life. I'm an armchair under the hood car guy. I can teach you about basic automotive mechanics.

[@TinaGloria2012]

Yeah honestly lots of people start with an axle and work out from there.

[@haydenratcliffe1138]

Number of engines will not affect top speed, theoretical top speed is determined by engine RPM, gear ratios and wheel circumference Theoretical top speed is then limited by air resistance and engine Torque, meaning adding more engines is the solution if you dont have the torque to reach max RPM on your gearing setup

You could always ask Kan and Kosmo as they seemto know a fair bit.

I dunno why but I really love this game

[@OhMahGurd]

I haven't played the game yet but usually you have another gear at the rear end so it may look weird but maybe run the driveshaft to a cross axle with a large gear that goes to a small gear on the drive axle along with the "transmisson" not sure how the game works but actual cars have another gear ratio in the rear end and then run the starting gears heavily underdriven to get moving. Hopefully I'm making sense 🤷‍♂️

What i mean by interfering with eachother is: there are moments where the gearshift that takes power from the electric engines and the one that takes power from the combustion engine are both connected to the main driveshaft without the same gear ration (for example the electric one is a medium->small while the combustion one is a small->medium) ad i think that in moments like that the two gearshifters battle it out to who impact the power curve more and, i think, the one with more torque wins (which is also the slower one) making you loose in terms of speed. my suggestion would be to still have two differents sistems, but at the opposite sides of the vehicle (one in the front and one in the back) that still connect to one main driveshaft but in two different points and have the two gearshifters have a "neutral" position in which it doesn't connect to the main driveshaft so that each one could be better used in every scenario (but i feel like you would need a 3 speed gearshift for that). i would also tweak the gears to be more gradual so that the power delivery is smoother and the torque used more appropriately, something like: 1) first gear: small->big that takes power from the electric engines (since they are a high torque, low top speed engine type) 2) second gear: medium->big that also takes power from the electric engines (tho smooth out the curve so that you don't have those weird bumps in power while driving) 3) third gear: medium->small that takes poweer from the combustion engines (at this point the wheels should be spinning fast enough that the low torque of the combustion engines shouldn't be a problem and by doing a medium to small you should also have a smooth curve) 4) fourth gear: big->small that takes power from the combustion engines (to use all of the top speed the engines have to offer) but still, i think your car is great and is a perfect platform to improve

As much as this sounds like a good gearing strategy, it sounds like it would be way too difficult for a novice (Scrapman) to implement. All of the gear ratios you listed would require one of the axles to be split yet meshed. To make it easier for Scrapman, change anything with medium to just a medium -> medium. This way the axles don't need to be split at the cost of not being as tuned.

@@rexracer4380 you’re right, I forgot about that part but medium->medium should still be efficient enough

[@discoverythatsgreen]

for awd u can make a tranfercase

26:43 Yeah no you don't really understand... you have better acceleration from 0 to 10km/h BUT pass the 10 km/h the combustion engine destroy the electric one in every speed possible SO you have better torque SO better acceleration overall... Yeah the game count only the acceleration from 0 to the max torque not the overall acceleration

For the long jump ether take off your down force or turn it upside down and build a glider lol

[@hiree8822]

For the high acceleration use a big to small then mid to mid then a small to big for top speed

Congratulations on 900k🥳🥳

1. to better aceleration, U should build two sets of gears, one with small to medium (from 1:5 to 1:1), and then second with small and big gears from medium to large (from 1:1 to 5:1) 2. eletric engine has better acceleration than gas engine, but has very short speed range and creates huge gap between two types of drive, so better option is to put e-engine with gas engine on one axis, to have good acc all te time... 3. i've noticed that wings (winglets and other) are iving much more grip and some handling, NOT VERY GOOD for acceleration and top speed...

Don't comment often but thanks for showing me this game!

I think it might be worth making a very simple experiment vehicle, just to see what the different gear ratios do with different engines. so a single engine above the central drive shaft and do 1:1, S:M, S:L, M:L and vice versus for both types of engines to get a feel of what the ratios do to the graphs, could also try adding more engines and mixing and matching to get more feeling. could even try adding a shifter in the mix in different positions to see what it does more. I thought I saw in one of KAN's videos that there is a 3 stage gear shifter so that might be something to look for to help simplify things?

7:20 I'm not promoting here, but in my video I did something like what you're talking about for reference. I based mine of of Kan's video

Woowww 900k! congrats
