I Evolved My Racer With an ALL WHEEL DRIVE Driveshaft! [Screw Drivers]

[@creactstudios5728]

Hi Mr. ScrapMan, this is Simon, one half of the two-men team that created Screw Drivers :D I just wanted to say how awesome it is to see you play and enjoy our game. We're having an absolute blast watching each of your videos, and you and your video editor have already inspired us a lot in what we could still add to the game. If you or anybody has any feedback whatsoever for us, throw it at us we are so eager to hear your ideas and your suggestions! P.S: The ghosts aren't getting stronger with your car class, but we have a plan on how to make the monarch challenges stronger in the future ;) Aaaand apart from a small mini map we added last week, we also added a second career to the game which includes the tech tree from the demo again ;D Cheers Simon

[@57thorns]

This is a good tip. Also try to make some junky 4 or 6 gears gearboxes so you get used to the gear spacing, mounting points etc.

[@tierinie]

The stats were okay scrapman just didn't know that the mid acceleration he was talking about was actually top speed All he needs to do is increase top speed like kan did but since he got double the HP kan had he could prob reach 200kmh as well without having to sacrifice to much acceleration like kan did

[@Diabolicue909]

[@tierinie]

@@Diabolicue909 you're contradicting yourself, because the reason why he had so much HP was because all his EVs was geared for acceleration not top speed like I said.. The big drop off in the chart was the EVs reaching their gear ratio limit and going into combustion power

Huge props to the editor for the graphics, especially the one that showed where on the acceleration curve scrapman was during the up hill race. Would love if you keep this for future episiodes.

[@plzletmebefrank]

When building a new vehicle, I put down a long axle, and delete everything else, then I build inside out. It helps me figure out where to put everything. Also, electric engines have so much torque that if you have enough of them, you can go straight for a medium to small gear ratio (increasing your top speed) with only sacrificing a very small amount of acceleration.

[@locke_ytb]

Thank you for the building tip.

[@ShawnF6FHellcat]

Here's a similar/supporting tip: The 90 degree gears can snap to each other in any orientation without needing an axel connection to build off of.

[@livedandletdie]

The last Electric Engine, is a pain to build with, but once one has that one, it makes for a few ridiculous design options. Edit: And I know the 3 Last Electric Engines have the same hassle to build with, but no engine is comparable to the final Electric one. Sure you could use 2 of the Final combustion ones, but that takes up a lot of space as well...

[@plzletmebefrank]

@@livedandletdie you can actually flip pw blazes sideways so they only take up two points of an axle per every two engines. They can fit into each other. You can also do some shenanigans with the biggest electrics too. But it's more of a pain.

[@plzletmebefrank]

@@ShawnF6FHellcat Yep. Though that one seems like a bug and can be a pain to use. I tend to build out with circle connectors, you can kinda spam it (since they're one of the few pieces that can lock into another of itself) and then just delete all but one once they're in the right area you want to build in.

[@melissabloom8747]

Even with the current engines that you have, you can attain higher top speed or acceleration by stacking gears. Have one axle where engines could be attached on, then if you'd like acceleration, attach small gear to it which transfer to bigger gear on another axle. And on that other axle, add another small gear anywhere you want and let it transfer to another bigger gear on another axle. Do it couple of times and you'd end up with higher acceleration. To attain higher top speeds, do it the other way around. You can attach them to the side of the chasis on the outside to fully utilize space. Or of course, you can beat the challeges to attain better combustion engines or big gear which is useful for increasing top speeds. Gear shifts works best with combustion engines. You can shift gears more than twice (the curent gear shift that you have allows only two shifts) by stacking those gear shifts as well. Meaning, you can have up to the 6th gear by having 3 gear shifters.

[@redshadowgn1459]

Right...

[@okamiexe1501]

TLDR: Attach the gears by the faces to maintain rotation speed or torque but increase angular velocity of the teeth, giving more power.

[@shadowpaladin8127]

Hey Scrapman, couple of tips for you from someone that's completed the game without spoiling things. 1: Gears have no collision with the ground or the body of the vehicle once you start driving. 2: it does not matter which direction the gears face after doing gear reductions. the game magically turns your wheels the correct direction. 3: hybrid drivetrains (electric and combustion) are really good because it combines the acceleration of electric and top speed of combustion engines. even though I completed the game only using combustion engines and a RWD vehicle. 4: keep an eye on the free drive map, every time you defeat a Monarch there will be "hidden" treasure for you to find. these unlock extra parts you can't get just by doing the career races. Hope this helps!

[@abhijeetmankani]

I just finished the final monarch yesterday, and I was just coming here to give similar tips, but looks like you already did.

[@Alfred-Neuman]

Gears have no collision but I have OCD so I always make sure it doesn't collide with the ground... lol Also if you're like me and you don't like seeing all the parts sparkling like that you can set the graphics to Medium settings.

[@JoshuaGanoTyraxLightning]

Although 1 and 2 may technically fly in this game, it's hard not to feel like they're kinda cursed... Also, it's hard not to wonder if they are even intended or stuff that's just awaiting their Polish and thus it's hard not to wonder if getting used to using that kinda Cursed Building really would be a good idea...

[@Etane5792]

Hey Scrapman, I have a unique video idea. So there’s this area in the airborne map called Dry Oasis, and it’s basically a large pit with a bunch of balloons in the middle, including a flak balloon. My idea is to have you and maybe 2 others build vehicles and see how many laps you can do around the oasis before you get ripped to shreds. I’ve done this myself and it requires a balance of controllability, speed, and tankiness. I think it would either have to be a time trial or a destruction derby where all of you go at once and race around the oasis which, I forgot to mention, is full of rocks and trees. I think it would make for a great video. (Commented on a video a bit ago but you didn’t see it 😢)

[@nelsondevlogger4274]

[@Gamer12666]

[@petersmith5886]

You gotta get out of trailmakers mind set of just adding more engines.. it’s all about the gearing in this game

[@sixfthree]

Yes and no in this case. I think the issue in this case was he was adding more electric motors, but he was losing speed at the top end. instead of adding another electric i think he should have added another combustion engine, which would have given him more power at the top end, so he could maintain a higher top speed.

[@ExoPhaz]

i pull 300kph out of 2 planetary gears making the wheels faster with good acceleration out of electric motors

But also educational, thus good viewing! I can't be the only one benefiting from this Edutainment in Disguise. :)

[@blueflame_sm]

There should be a race giving you a massive electric engine coming up. That'll help a lot with acceleration. If you want to get a lot of top speed, you'll definitely want gearboxes with all engines before them. Then you can adjust the ratio between the gas and electric to make the curve better. Finally, it's possible to use multiple gearboxes, and if they have different ratios the game will properly detect this.

[@gokselaras9002]

I tried building a 3 speed car by using 2 gear shifters and ended up with 6 gears, I dont know how like even the math doesn't add up. 2 x 2 = 4 so 4 makes a little bit sense but 6 ?

[@Multithreadi7]

@@gokselaras9002 That is a known bug. If you got into free roaming, you'll find out that some gears are doubled.

Scrap; you are wonderful at biased builds towards goals. In that same breath, Kan is a massively useful resource for velocity function. Every competition video from Kan is focused on making a chassis that can keep his forces inside his vehicle/gravCenter. You're great at reading numbers; he's great at creating ridiculous numbers that can be more effectively tuned. But goodness gracious; you are fantastic at reading feedback :D P.s. more grip is from the wider wheelbase and the increased weight. more downforce through the centre

[@lavarsch]

Have been playing for ~32h, never played any of these kind of games, but this one tickles my fancy (mainly because it's free, lol). The building takes some getting used to, but one tip is to always use big axles, and then delete them to put the right one in. Also one tip: From a lot of testing, i can tell that electro, with engine in series and THEN into shifting works best. I love to test acceleration and top speed builds. I still have found a few glitches on how to get crazy speeds. (try to not fixate the shifter ;) )

[@furyx9439]

22:00 reverse the gear ratio on the electric motors that changed their acceleraton from 45 to about 90 but it isnt that insane anymore but the fact that you climb the hill with 80 means you will get it much faster (edit please like this he got to see it)

[@midnightwafflez1526]

I discovered this game through your vids, already beat it. Love it to bits, and I get extremely excited seeing a new vid of it pop up. I managed to get gold in every race before beating the monarchs, so it's definitely possible but it took me roughly 50 hours to beat the campaign that way. I am not as inclined towards this sort of stuff as you are, so take that with a grain of salt. I found a lot of success early game by getting engines through a gear ratio and then having motors directly on the axle. Not sure if it's best practice but it worked out for me until I got into the mid levels and my builds became much larger with the power to hold them up. Tip : you can do multiple gear ratios in a row to increase power even more (ex. medium gear from engine to small on output shaft, output shaft has a medium gear itself as well, going into another small gear basically doubling the ratio but tanking acceleration, hence why I put the motors on the axles directly at first while the driveshaft carried the engine power but the gear shifter completely negated the need for this setup). Edit : Downforce helps A LOT later on, especially when facing wheelspin and uneven center of mass. For 4x4 drive, I highly suggest higher spoilers in the back and low spoiler in the front slightly wider then the back (should be roughly the same as the wheel span) depending if its meant to turn or not. Weight distribution is EXTREMELY important. FWD/RWD is suggested for asphalt racing giving more power to a single axle, but enough of the races are mixed or offroad that overall leaning to offroad is beneficial and doesn't hurt much on the road. Always improve grip if possible.

[@MarisaClardy]

So help fill in the power curve, you could put electric motors on the drive shaft in addition to the geared axels.

[@hmmm...gamerigess8165]

On your gas engines you will need to change the gearing in order to get higher top speed. From engine to wheel, have a big gear to a small gear, or you could have a medium gear to a small that is connected to a medium gear that goes to a small gear. If you want a visual you should go look at kan’s videos. Hope this helps! 😁

[@ShadowSleeper33]

1) Adding more engines will only gain you acceleration because each engine will still rotate at the same speed no matter how many you add. The only way to increase your top speed is either with a better engine, adding more gears, or attaching bigger wheels. You could have easily improved your vehicle for hill climb by having medium gear go into a small gear and then putting a medium gear on the same axel as the small gear and connecting that medium gear to a small gear again. You can keep chaining this for more top speed but less acceleration. 2) The acceleration stat can be misleading. When you attached the electric engines to small gear that drove the big gear, you increased acceleration at lower speed but now the help from the electric engine drops off at lower speeds, so you won't accelerate fast after that drop off. So getting that extra acceleration at that low speed actually hurt your vehicle more than helped. 3) Building tips: I always start off with floating axels and gears and build my transmission first. just build a temporary structure to the desired axel position and then immediately delete that structure. I usually have the long axel going through the vehicle like you have, and then I build upwards from that axel. The best way is to place a gear shifter above the drive axel with a 1 unit space in between. Then attach a medium and small gear to the gear shifter axel and the drive train accordingly. 4) Lastly, check out steam creations!!! this is the best way to get an idea of the best building configurations. Just so you know what's possible, I have personally uploaded a working dump truck with pistons that extend its bucket and it has a 6-speed transmission. I have also built a race car that can go 250 mph (400 km/h) with 100+ acceleration. The only thing is that I don't know if the steam workshop is working right now because the loading times have gradually been increasing as the amount of builds have increased. And now I can't seem to load it anymore.

[@DanyF02]

On the acceleration challenge uphill, you think too much in terms of "Acceleration vs Top speed" while what's holding you back is a matter of "Low RPM power vs High RPM power." Check 17:42 for example. Your RPM are above your electric engines limits (they stop helping after 60km/h as per your power graph) during the entire climb, which means adding more electric engines mostly just adds more weight while more gas engine could help more, until you start switching gears anyway. 23:53: I love how you built a little attachment spot for each front spoilers before talking about how it's hard to figure out how to build things efficiently in this game... while you had perfectly good attachment points directly on the suspension for the spoilers! lol It's so fun watching you play this game, I hope you keep it up and eventually start showcasing some workshop stuff!

[@g00gleisgayerthanaids56]

In my opinion, the best way to future proof your designs are to oversize the chassis and then run your powerplant off a single output shaft that feeds power into your inevitable gearbox and from there output your gear box to a drive shaft that distributes power to the axle(s).

[@LeHei69]

21:12 Adding another engine will not increase your top speed since the engines have a maximum rpm. It will simply give you more power, which allows you to use a more top-speed-focused gear ratio. You could think of it like using one arm v.s two arms to crank something. Using two arms makes it easier, but you won't be able to crank it any faster.

[@karyjas1]

31:00 Do a peak power build, and add gears to get multiple peaks. Means gas engines slowed down, or electric sped up before gearshifts

[@michaelmain1990]

I just built a 3 speed in this game using the first transmission you get that has an acceleration of 67m/s. I used the combustking chassis with a driveshaft. I believe the classes is only for the leaderboards

[@frighthound4201]

Leave the electric engines alone and do the gear shifting on the combustion engines. This will keep the good acceleration of the electric ones while giving you a better curve in acceleration once the electric engines tap out.

[@adomasjarmalavicius2808]

the edditor is the goat! good skills mate

[@ickschreiber3493]

wow u can really see the effort put in these videos. the stats helped a lot

[@Nomiswelt]

The editor did an amazing job again with all the diagrams! I only noticed one small mistake: At 5:35 you, dear editor, corrected the y axis, which is great, but you forgot to correct the x axis as well. The electric engine curve should drop off at 75.6 km/h. It's just one out of the many charts that's slightly wrong though, so not a big problem :)

[@CHECKERCE]

The problem with the acceleration race was that all your acceleration came from the electric engines which have a low top speed, so you would reach like 50 km/h quickly but then all your acceleration was gone because only the combustion engines worked. So like you said you have to increase the middle of the torque curve which you could do with an extra combustion engine geared for acceleration

[@christopherrivas2889]

Tip for the gear shaft ratio: Not much of a car engineer, but I have studied engineering before. But as an example, you can separate acceleration from top speed. In other words, you can make a low gear to high gear for the acceleration and high gear to low gear for optimal speed. The more engines you add, the better. It may seem simple, but it works if you use it well. Another note: gear shifting requires a lot of attention to use properly, like around turns and straights

[@CULLROY]

Scrapman's editor is freakin' awesome! This videos get more and more informative. Love it! 🤘🤘

[@K0wp3R]

Hey scrapman, i think the best hybridation would be to put as many electric engines as you can directly on the driveshaft (don't forget the small ones with capacitor), or maybe even some on a gear ratio to increase their top speed a bit, making several "steps" rather than just one large drop in power, and gearing up your combustion engines with horizontal gears for space saving reasons, to max out your top speed. So making several steps of electric engines to lead to the final all combustion ratio, and maybe afterwards making all of that go into a full gearbox, which should let you have several gear ratios in addition to the (somewaht fake) gear ratios you get from the different electric gearings, making it all more optimised both for top speed and acceleration at all speeds

[@57thorns]

You want some electrics on the middle range as well, depending on where you want you have good acceleration (high torque).

[@locke_ytb]

The editor seems to be exponentially improving the quality of ScrapMan's videos.

[@CameronDickson-fe5uj]

Dont know if youve already done this but, glider bombs hear me out, you build a plane with a human controlled bomb that detatches from the plane and can be guided in toward the target however the bomb is conpletly unpowered and has to gulide into the target you could have the target be a car/tank/mobile anti air and see who can survive the longest

[@piereduplessis4544]

here's an idea that might help in future builds. try to think of it all as an engine seperate from the chassis. design a engine block that has hybridisation and then attach it to a gear transmision from the top like a car. that way you build from the engine like you prefer to and you have a engine pre-developed that can be used on multiple different chassis and transmissions. will make everything so much easier

[@salvoix86]

My first proper creation was a rear-wheel drive offroader with 4 combustion engines and 2 medium(?) electric motors. The rear axle had a small gear, which meshed with a medium gear on an axle that had the electric motors attached. Then, that same axle had a small gear which meshed with a medium gear on another axle that housed the combustion engines. This setup allows the electric motors to provide acceleration up to higher rpms, making your torque curve longer. Make sure you balance gas and electric power to smooth the curve, for constant acceleration at any speed. A lighter, smaller car, will always have better handling than a big car like yours, not accounting for suspention and power differences. Basically, make an racing rc car.

[@toddabbott781]

The axels are joined together so put gas on the back and electric on the front. Then you can have a higher gear ratio for the gas. Also when you jump the arrow keys will make you spin and flip. Do not worry about gears sticking into the ground. There is no actual collision with them. I would do 8 tires and 8 engine (4 gas and 4 electric). Did you find capacitors for the electric engine yet?

[@josefledebrink]

Props to your Editor for all the visualizations.

[@KingOreo2017]

You should definitely build a plane in this game! You can spin downforce blocks and they act like propellors, and upside down downforce blocks act like wings (very useful for the long jump missions!)

[@mareksoucek4514]

Hey scrapman, for acceleration and holding the speed you want more torque, meaning you want smaller gear going to bigger, 2 gearboxes and then possible two same sized gears (medium are probbly best) and then you want medium gears going to big. It's the best way to do it. Also, you want each type of engine going to different gearbox. Since electric provides torque and acceleration, but combustion engine provides speed and power. The game itself will know, when is the best time to use which one. You lowkey want to make engageable system of power. The game will use electric for accelerating and combustion for keeping the speed.

[@frostymug9750]

Hey editor! I don't know if I'll be read or not, but I believe that at 5:41 the orange curve should have been truncated at about 76km/h. I appreciate the effort though! Definitely the biggest feature I think this game is missing...

[@roccov3614]

If you are not reaching your top speed, because you are going up hill for instance, I think adding a gas engine increases the power at the top end, enabling you to get closer to your top speed. If you are maxing out at your top speed you need to increase the gear ratio (or get a faster engine).

[@fireburnergaming8696]

I don’t really comment often but if you put a bigger gear on the same axle that is attached to a smaller gear turned by a big gear then connect a small gear from another axle it will increase top speed but reduces acceleration so long as the final small gear is connected to the drive axle works the same in reverse for more torque/acceleration

[@PaladinCasdin]

For the hill climb, you just needed more HP - so another combustion engine should be fine. Got a bit fixated on the acceleration part, but what was really hurting was the lack of power at high revs.

[@FoxDog1080]

Put the combustion engines on a low gear ratio Two electric engines on a high gear ratio And the rest of the engines directly on the axle The combustion engines will give the top speed The gear ratiod engines will give great acceleration at low speeds And the engines directly on the chassis will give slightly higher top speed than the ones on the gear ratio, while still contributing to acceleration On top of this, make this mass of engines a modular "engine" and add the gear shifter to transmit power to the drive shaft

[@pancake5597]

Proper gearbox with shifting gears will help. It's just more effisient way to deliver power

[@JonasVanRiet]

You need to have your combustion and electric engine on the same axle so you dont have a massive dropoff in acceleration at low speeds

[@JonasVanRiet]

And you'l still have pretty good acceleration

[@OfficerErik1K-88]

One thing you could do is have a gearbox, where you have a large gear go into a small gear and on the same axle as the small gear you have a large gear that goes into another small gear, it'll give you higher top speeds, but will decrease acceleration.

Please do more teardown, the new dlc seems really cool but you are the only person I’m interested in watching play it!

Two engine types on a one shaft limits both. Use a 3 stage transmission with 2 sequential gear pushers. A(BC)>(AB)C>(AC)

[@denverkirk7954]

Shifters work tremendously with combustion engines while electric motors work well with having a high fixed gear as long as you have the torque

[@manpreet_singh_dhaliwal]

We want more!!

[@chosenscripter]

to anyone reading the comments but dont have the game it just came out of the demo into early access and its free check it out if you like his videos about it

[@LordSethrik]

For the long jump you can reverse first to get a longer run up As for acceleration I couldn't get gold until I unlocked the large electric motors

[@LehanJ.]

to use the larger gear rase it slightly and the connect it. that should help fit it in the vehicle

[@Detony_264]

I believe for the hill climb race, you should try to reduce weight for more speed as when you added more engines, it added weight and reduced your speed

[@toxicwarcat7739]

So here's some tips i hope you read this all it will be a bit long, During the serpetine race you were up against the large green vehicle, it had a better wheel base and suspension but also better steering/cornering speeds, You were asking why your grip was going up and not your acceleration aswell when you made the first all wheel drive, this was because it had no gears and therefor the front wheels added to your grip rather than friction, you also asked how to smooth your power band, this would have been solved easily and you already had all the parts you needed, to simplify, you needed more engageable gears, you could for example place 2 gas engines with a mirrored set up, to each set of wheels both front and back, then place eletrics on the drive, this is because regardless of the gears in the electric drive they drop after a set speed, therefore you lose power, additionally like i mention in your top 1% attempt for the boat race i mentioned, how you were focusing too much on how fast you were in top speed but not your overall average speeds, to best explain this, think of a race track, the cars who are the fastest car in terms of both acceleration and horsepower, lose overall to those with better grip, drag coeficent, aero, and cornering speed, for example F1 cars and drag race cars are pretty similar in terms of power to weight and acceleration yet a drag car cannot beat a F1 on a race track, when going for a "Race" of any kind you need to remeber its not ever about how "Fast" you are, its about how much "Time" you took, thats why in races we measure the distances between drivers in time, this is the evolution of racing, I hope that i might have taught you something in all this rambling, I think the best things to remember out of all of this is; ignore the stats of the vehicle as a metric of how "good" it is they are mearly tools, you must decide how you are going to make it go through the course/challange in less time, if you need more advice i'd be happy to help in more detail than this as this is really only the surface of racing science and why very very smart people are paid ALOT of money by racing teams to design race cars.

In specific detail if you want more torque out of your wheels you need only put more gears in a sequence even if they are the same size they add more torque due to the coservation of energy all the gears weight being spun in turn means your wheels can push more weight at the cost of acceleration, also you should utilise the vertical space of your vehicle, you have those connector parts that can face upwards this would be much more suited for your gearing desires, as they take up less vertical space when laid horizontly, this does however present a newer challange of connections which likely will result in a heavier vehicle but may provide other benefits, such as during the destruction races a high torque heavy car will be best at destroying things, it will however be slower than your lighter creations, i think its best to analyse in detail what your OBJECTIVE is in closer detail, for example during the hill climb the electric engines were a great choice, however they were not suited due to your high speed, you even recognised this, but still doubled up on the electric rather than opt for more combustion engines, now it may have been better to have for example a 4 wheel drive or independant all wheel drive where each wheel had its own drive train, one main one powered by 2 combustion engines then 4 independat drives on each wheel connected by gears to the main power drive, and electric drives directly applied to the wheels and so when trying to complete a objective, think in reverse order by what your trying to achieve, for better cornering tracks a vehicle that sacrifices top speed for a overall better cornering speed is best, so if i need better cornering i need to get better grip and acceleration, but more importantly is WHERE that acceleration band is, if its at the start its useless once you're already in motion, if its near the middle or top end then, that is most desireable, so experiment with what you do know already, as you've already learnt a lot of physics principles that will help you. Its like building a plane, your great at that now, you need power, sgility and precision for racing cars, you already excell at those concepts, i'm sure you can apply them to cars, you got this!

[@e79tank]

Having run that track multiple times to test my builds it's running 4 tier 2 electric engines one on each wheel with twin capacitors, shielded with blocks

[@enzosoares8691]

Yo scrapman, i challenge you to make a handbreak on trailmakers. Just an idea. Good video.

[@Nerdgaming69-w1t]

Here's an idea: The electric motors are tuned for the maximum accel possible and when you shift, the gas engine takes its place to increase the top speed.

[@alexsanderrevemark5136]

For a smother curv, have a minimum of 3 sets of engen (combustion and electric = 1 set). With a gearing 1:2, 1:1, 2:1 driving the same axel. Then I belive u wold have a smother curv.
