Stop The Beast! - MRAP Causes Chaos - BeamNG Drive

There is the new MD series on BeamNG Drive, so naturally we have to find out just how strong it is, and well an MRAP version of it really rather wreaks havoc.

Alex: Locks the diffs Alex: Alex: Why am I getting so much understeer?

[@CED99]

Diffs because physics!

[@walterwhite415]

Aren´t there limited slip diffs available for that thing? Those could be better for the beast.

[@sugoruyo]

Also Alex: I know what'll help, wider tyres on tarmac to go along with my 3 locked diffs.

[@trautsj]

The failrace classic of locking up diffs on Beam and then complaining about lack of turning. Traditions lol

[@geehammer1511]

Yeah I think locking the front diff isn't helping him here.

[@lambo603]

"This car has crippling understeer" Meanwhile all the diffs are locked 😂

[@braincellshotage]

Steering with locked diffs: Maybe... I suppose you could try to turn... Steering with unlocked diffs: You can, and should, definitely turn here. Remember that for next time for viewer sanity, please.

[@Paul-Gleave]

Alex proving that all wheel drive is only really helpful when you have all wheels.

[@shotjukebox]

When will we get an "Escape the Beasts"? Everyone gets a beast vehicle, and Alex must try to avoid being killed.

[@clockwork3494]

I could be wrong but I think we technically got that a few months ago, can't recall the title but Alex was in a smaller car while the FR crew gave chase in monster trucks

[@shotjukebox]

@clockwork3494 I'm going to have to check that one out. Somehow, I missed it

[@SunstriderGames-cx7vr]

Would be over within 5 minutes lol

[@Karl_Baeron]

Alex: i don't want to go into the city *Alex turns into the city when not forced* ...... ah, yes, that's why i watch this channel :D

[@paulmr303]

Alex, when are you going to learn you can just press ALT + D for diff locks on command and be able to turn the rest of the time?

[@MaartenT]

I am pretty sure he plays with a controller. He can obviously bind that to the controller though.

[@walterwhite415]

@@MaartenT I´m mostly offroading in beam, so I have diffs and drivetrain and all that on the controller and it helps a lot to have easy access to those.

[@MaartenT]

@@walterwhite415 I don't play Beam that often, but I also like offroading in Beam. I remember binding that to the controller as well. The main reason for my comment was that the ALT+D shortcut is probably not feasible for him while driving on a controller without making changes to the controller layout. But I do agree that it would make sense to add those for sure.

[@walterwhite415]

@@MaartenT The left sticks button is empty by default, if i remember correctly. Thats where I have it bound to. (L3 or what its called. When you press down the left stick)

[@pauldotdll]

The locked diff’s is causing the steering issues

[@vonSchwalbe]

Sooo, the diff locks probably didn't help. However, 15 tons at 90 miles an hour probably wouldn't turn regardless of diff locks anyways. BTW, most MRAP type vehicles have armored undersides with a V-shaped hull to deflect explosions. Probably would have helped protect the pressure tank and fuel tanks on the earlier runs. They are (in)famously top heavy though.

[@ThaMythbuster]

You would've had so much better steering with the front diff unlocked 😅

[@HJZ75driver]

‘My steering is dicey’. that would be because of the front diff lock 🙄

[@ChuckFickens1972]

I was mentally screaming to myself every time Alex complained about the steering "unlock the diffs!!"

[@carloveridc]

@@ChuckFickens1972 Idiot turn your diffs off or turn your fucking diffs off or stop complaining about no steering! That's what I kept saying

[@Havreflan]

Unlock the diff so you can steer

[@mENTALdRIFTER]

"I'm not sure speed is my friend in this" _angry Clarkson noises_

[@authoranonymous8892]

Really enjoy these Stop The Beast videos. Have you considered one combining this with the pit maps where you start at the bottom, have to get to the top, and the filming crew starts at the top and has to prevent you from getting there?

[@authoranonymous8892]

Also loled at managing to drown a car in the desert.

[@williamhepworth6360]

You could always lock the rear diff and leave the front open, that way you get good steering and decent power delivery

[@Guilherme-br3dh]

That MRAP might be my new favorite beast

[@Karthos1000]

This is not one of my favorite video series when Alex wins; driving around for ten minutes without any problems, but I really, really like it when Alex loses, because it's much more interesting to see how the guys wear him down and eventually defeat him, whether by flipping, destroying his wheels, hurling themselves at his engine, etc.

[@carloveridc]

Every time he said how bad the steering was I kept saying turn of the diffs. Turn them on if stuck off when not. Most car guys understand what diffs are and how diffs work right?

[@kelsokid18]

He is kind of a thicko. Doesn’t actually know shit about shit

[@AlbinoFuzWolf]

"this is the downside of a manual gearbox" It only does what *you* ask it to do.

conclusion for this MD 15:13 understeers but POWEEEEEEER

[@NotDaender]

Come on, Alex, you gotta stop throwing with the diff locks! Haha!

[@cologeek]

That last build should be called "Tigger", because the bottom was definitely made out of springs!

[@DrRacer78]

Tonight: Alex discovers the beast with the most anticlimactic horn yet. Joe & Amy do their best compact compact impersonation. And Ewan experiences the Failrace BeamNG experience for the first time.

[@markhenderson6389]

More MRAP please! One of the best beast episodes yet!

[@StroDshiesty1]

In the vehicle config Make sure your front differential gear is one click lower than the rear it will give you alot more turning authority.

[@HekkenDarkstorm]

Like the Amy Snowman at the end.

[@nicoleingle1821]

Welcome Ewan to Beam!!!

Glad to see BEAM stuff back, been a while.

[@JayFochs1337]

18:33 what a hit though!

[@McPoshSquatch]

Round One, they were so timid. Round Two, straight for the kill. 😁👍

[@Detro-nr8vr]

Honestly, it looked like you did more damage with the rear end bouncing like that than NOT having it bounce. :D

[@philip8025]

Those MRAP front wheels make the steering a little harder to control.

[@YourLocalSoftwareEng]

"absol is a fruity baboon" 🤣🤣🤣

[@theminerboy5694]

As soon as the update came out I was looking forward to this.

[@1mariomaniac]

Something I've noticed from stress testing this car when it released, the engine is just about indestructible. I drove it *hard* for like 45 minutes while it was overheating without a radiator, it lost a bit of power but was fine. I also tried various collisions to try and break the engine, and while I could damage it, the only thing that'd break the engine is having a collision violent enough to tear the engine from the chassis lol.

[@JamieCameron-Mackintosh-z7c]

That's a lot of damage 🤣

[@bennzy48]

18:11 Would that be a winkle-spanner moment?

[@slickbackwood]

Good god man, UNLOCK those diffs unless you need them

[@theminerboy5694]

Btw the base MD Series is strong enough to be a beast. Just switch to the default suspension, put the "Low Suspension Setup" on them, then put the smaller wheels and tires on. After that, put the front guard on. These wheel and suspension changes make the vehicle low enough that it is impossible for the pressure tanks to be hit directly, and also make it so that you can use the front to ram cars rather than climb over them. The only downside is you cannot get 4WD and the back is a little slidey. But it shouldn't be a problem since you can no longer get scooped. You could also remove the bed so that you fling cars with the rear wheels rather than crash-welding them, but it exposes the pressure tanks and fuel tanks.

[@squidwardo7074]

7:36 max verstappen in the green car there

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

The scintilla or whatever it exactly was with its fridge-sized engine hanging out occasionally showing up was probably the highlight of the video for me, cars like that are hilarious. This beast does look like it would rival the semis for wheel-flipping goodness, but I think your chasing crew is getting more coordinated at targeting your wheels (or, as their videos will likely show, they manage it off of blind luck while talking about movies or something). Kind of surprised we didn't see too many cars trying to wedge themselves right under the middle of it; seems like a big weakness that while it could likely climb out of that situation it might be slowed enough to get boxed in. I don't think the locked differential is worth it once your tires are completely gone. Seems like the turning capabilities of unlocking it would serve you better after that.

[@Ultimasanctus]

Alex... UNLOCK THE FRONT DIFF

[@itsJayTea]

someday your going to have to do a beast vs. the beasts... right?

[@JonasVanRiet]

9:30 you had your parking brake on or is it because of the pressure tank

[@Das_Bürgermeister]

Pressure tank forces the brakes to lock when it fails.

[@squidwardo7074]

the air pressure holds the brakes open so when you lose the air pressure they lock. its a safety feature on heavy duty trucks

[@HD-Gaming]

You just slightly cropped it wrong on the right side.

[@wheelwrightpl9429]

I created a short 4WD offroad version with max-raised suspension. It works well for backing up and chewing body-parts of cars chasing me, especially Bolides and Scintillas ;)

[@michaelnewsome2366]

Do stop the beast with the 8x8 big rig (made by crash hard)

[@wouterverhelst6159]

Did you give your pc a upgrade as wel? What are you running?

[@DumbGoogle-yz9cr]

Alex I once drove a tractor, to tow a boat (on a trailer) out of deep swamp like mud hooked up and went to pull and due to the swamp like mud one wheel span I engaged diff lock (it's an OLD leyland) and with allot of abuse and swearing it pulled the damn boat out and I then went to turn. Full lock and I kept going straight.... to make matters worse i think I'm the only person this decade to have used diff lock and it was well LOCKED I had to lever the foot pedal with a crowbar to disengage diff lock... Long story short dont lock em unless you need em locked! (Ps I know it's a game etc but the point is the same)

[@mikejefferys]

Poor Joe 😂

[@TheRealAlpha2]

Just finished watching a Neilogical video, it's been an unintentional Amy Double Feature.

[@sharkk127]

Alex, were you on keyboard for this?

[@LostInPhilly89]

Amy needs to cool it with honking all of the time. It's really obnoxious.

[@ATruckCampbell]

City slicker, stick to autos and cars and away from stick shift and trucks, or learn to drive them properly.

[@MaXwellFalstein]

The pressure tank needs to be moved to the bed of the new MD Series truck.

[@EvanG529]

I HATE the MD series for one reason: Those front inner fenders ALWAYS dislodge and get caught in the wheel and screw up steering.

[@Dragkna7-yg4fh]

Unless you're towing or carrying a heavy load, you absolutely do not want to upgrade the brakes in that truck. Also with most of the weight over then nose steering should be fine with diff locks on so long as 4wd is on, (you only lose a tiny bit of turning circle and some high speed stability). Should make sure understeer assist is off since oddly enough it gives you understeer and assists with nothing. Worst setting in the whole game.

[@CED99]

They work just fine, as long as you want to just go straight.
