The Most Beautifully Difficult Rock Crawler Challenge You'll See Today

Welcome back to Scrap Mechanic! Today I am attempting a rock crawler challenge where I have to built a vehicle capable of traversing an incredible mountain course without knocking over any of the red cones.

As someone who does rock crawling and off road irl I can say this corse is well designed. I will I had a small scale version of it for my rc stuff

[@nuclearhamster]

Oh have you also seen the tweet saying that you should start saying i will instead of i wish?

[@flyingmunk8956]

@nuclearhamster lol. No it's a miss spell. But if you edit it you lose your YT heart. I have a injured hand so it happens lol

[@flyingmunk8956]

@nuclearhamster but I like the " I will" thing. And I am building a curse so maybe I will add some of these obstacles into it.

[@zh84]

I did think at times it looked like an advertisement for some very expensive RC toy from the 70s or 80s.

[@THESLlCK]

Yoooo Munk what’s cracking brother

[@flyingmunk8956]

There is somthing called " dig" in crawling and allows you to lock your rear wheels and drive your front while turning so you can kind of pivot your front end around. It may help on the tight turns. Also when you do rear steer it can help a lot to have it independently controlled from the front so you can crab walk or only turn the rear to get around some objects.

[@DigitalJedi]

Going to be implementing these for my next Scrap Mechanic crawler build for sure. Is there a preferred suspension setup for IRL crawlers or does it vary a lot?

[@flyingmunk8956]

@DigitalJedi mine is pretty stock set up. Up and down really. But you want them to be at an angle... like for front shock angled forward like 30-40 degrees ish. Not sure. But that will give you more articulation " flex " to help keep wheel contact. High belly Tires in front of bumpers. Low center of gravity. So light up top and Heavy in axles These are just my opinions though.

[@demented_cycles]

Independent rear steering would’ve been another option. That way you can put all four tires exactly where you want them

[@just_cody3569]

Man, the time and dedication it must have taken to make this is awe inspiring. But then that miniature model of the entire thing popping out had me grinning like a child. Nice crawler scrapman, would love to see you do this again with some of the fan suggestions!

[@jeremyporterfield1611]

Sound design is mint on this ep. SM, you always do really well at that, but this is master class in sound design.

[@tomekc1113]

I feel like we fought with you in that one lol

[@jayrusslee9975]

Well he is a music artist. Did u forget?

[@possiblyjay7911]

You should test workshop rock crawlers on this course! Amazing video

[@brandondenis8695]

On top of the suggestions already offered here, adding pistons to each wheel for independent suspension height may have made some of those parts where you almost flipped over less likely.

[@swampcooler8332]

The confidence you have in your vehicle by the end compared to the beginning

[@coolpandaguy]

If not for your daily uploads my mental stability would probably be at risk, so thanks Scrapman!

[@svenw13]

That would be a great Multiplayer Monday Challenge. Maybe a bit shorter. But would be nice. 🙂

[@TarDeisa]

Fun fact: Based on the ISRCC rules, your first run was actually a successful run at ca 8,5 minutes. Every Gate you pass is -2 on the score board, hitting a gate or boundary marker is 10 points each. And reverse is 1 point each. A run only counts as DNF if you get 40 points at the same time, or if you take more than 10 minutes. So you actually finished that run below 0 points, which is really good for your first run.

[@jamesgarry9631]

I think that the premade defender 90 looked really good!

[@barefootalien]

Hey Scrapman, In real life, 4-wheel steering is almost always implemented with half or less of the front's steering angle for the rear. I dunno about Scrap Mechanic, but in Trailmakers, something like 30° front and 10-15° rear works really well. You get the benefits of all-wheel steering in terms of sharpness, but you also don't get the rear end swinging out so wide around corners. Since there's always at least some slip angle, having lower angle on the rear wheels actually ends up making it track much closer to putting the rear tread marks right on top of the fronts. It also just feels a lot more intuitive since most cars have front steering only. Similarly, when I have 6 or more wheels, I offset the steering angle symmetry to be between the middle and rears, so for six wheels, for example, from front to rear, 30°, 10°, -10°, or 30°, 5°, -20°

[@sixfthree]

This would be awesome for a multiplayer monday challenge.

[@archidonwarrior]

0:43 "But not only- oh no" it's the little well- timed edits that make me chuckle 😆

[@apersunthathasaridiculousl1890]

Making terrain in scrap mechanic is a pain and is time consuming, and this maps terrain looks awesome!

[@technicbuilder6410]

And now do it in first person :D Also, independent rear steering would be better.

[@MrPomomies]

I havn't done any rock crawling, but i have done some offroad, and hung around offroad guys. I also love cars and designing... and that's one reason why I got Scrap mechanic myself. Well Some of kAN's creations got me getting it... Anyhow, I'd say the largest issue of your designed rock crawler, was the wheelbase. While it would have helped if yuo would have had literally vertical steps around 2-3 blocks high to go up from flat ground. but for everything else, it was excessive. That you countered with 4 wheel steering, which definitely has it's upsides, but in my "very expert" opinion 2-4 block shorter wheelbase would have been noatable benefit, and if added with 4 wheel steering where rear wheels turn less would have been all around better solution.

[@SpecialFX99]

I liked this one a lot! Please use this vehicle exactly as is in some other off road challenges

[@thisguywalksintoa1267]

that was intense, thanks for the content

[@gamerxdpro9112]

Yay another challenge keep it up scrapman

[@sloppyjoe9204]

Scrapman has nightmares of a world without wedges

[@rudolf_box8440]

That course looks so dope I wish I could make something to that detail

[@Caiofoca]

I love how the course has a lot of clearly designed shortcuts that are either high-risk or just straight hard to get through. Sad that Scrapman didn't notice and/or commented on that.

[@TheDistur]

One man, one cone, one adventure.

[@zachcuster7528]

nice build the 4 wheel steering definitely came in handy

[@letiferds]

that map! and land rover! awesome! :3 love it

[@jamiep3196]

A shorter wheelbase may have helped as the rear wheels would cut in less reducing the need for 4 wheel steering, It would also reduce the risk of grounding out the modle of tge vehicle, One massive example was at the end of the log bridge you couldn't turn until the front was nearly off the cliff, if the creation was shorter you could have started turning much sooner, also the cone knocked off in the first run may not have been hit as you could have been passed it by the time you were leaning over.

[@Jayson_Tatum]

I think in your earlier attempts, you really underestimated how sharp your vehicle could turn with the 4 wheel steering. You got it locked in by the last run though. Nice

[@Kealsera]

Great tune durin the timelapse :)

[@meckspeeder7047]

Nice crawlar and video👌👍🇸🇪

[@35manning]

This would have made for a great Multiplayer Monday, everyone must build a vehicle within a time limit and only testing on that first (technically last) ramp, before racing them to see who can do it the fastest.

[@traxxasdirtbike]

Loved the vid Scrapman! Can you continue doing these off-road challenges in Scrapmechanic? I think they are very enjoyable to watch and many others.

[@takakatsufr1172]

Hi Scrapman, you could make another video on this kind of concept and if you can make a 4x4 with the most realistic shock absorber system possible if not continue like this !

[@dreemurrgaming7766]

i've actually played this rock crawler challenge and i can say that its both fun and yet challenging🙂, one of the best challenges i have played in a while😉

[@augustinehuizing6683]

Dang that cone was BRUTAL.

[@jellyton9178]

i just realized you used the music from the mars series around when you tipped over your first cone

[@AtomicWaffle]

Professional crawlers have independent rear and front steering and VERY (and I can't stress this enough), VERY long suspension travel. If you had made your steering independent front to back this course would have been a ~cake~ crab walk

[@Mr.N999]

Hi scrapman! Can you play the sun shake factory invasion challenge. The challenge involves a story about a town and an evil company called Sun Shake. It also contains three bosses!

[@Mr.N999]

There are ten levels with bosses and puzzles.

[@BLKBRDSR71]

My survival truck has 4 wheel steering, and I can't survive without it! 4 Wheel steering is a game changer. GG ScrapMan.

[@pinguino5105]

Scrapman is the most dedicated to making amazing content, of any youtuber I have ever seen.

[@FUGP72]

It'd be cool if they hooked something up to the cone sensors so that for every cone knocked off, something happens farther down the course than makes it harder to pass.

[@mattmays9063]

For those of you that really enjoyed this video and felt a strange satisfaction, you couldn't quite place your finger on it. I'd like to suggest to you a fun but expensive hobby of RC Rock Crawling. If you enjoy mechanical things and taking things apart and modifying things. This is a hobby for you to check out. Feel free to ask any questions. I wish someone had introduced me to Tiny Trucks at a much younger age. Many of you, at this point, might be thinking of cheap Walmart-brand RC cars. What I'm referring to is, in many cases, 1:10 scale licensed truck parts. This is the world of Hobby RC. Join me in the rabbit hole MWahahahahhaha

[@oblivion098]

Definitely would have liked to see a more sophisticated suspension design here. Yes the course was cool but should have put a little pizazz on the build.

[@AntAnt1201]

This should have been a multiplayer Monday

[@danejones7051]

soon as i hit the "nooooo (fails) (retries)" part of the video i had to quickly pause to write this comment (to help the algorythem) and like the vid, as he earnt it in spades as he normally does by never giving up.

[@ZyteXbecauseYnot]

A quick idea if you do this again: Add the ability to disable front steering and disable front wheels from accelerating.

[@drybonesky]

Day 39 of asking for Workshop Hunters in Trailmakers

[@SCOP_]

He already does that

[@gonebloodypsycho8759]

He just hasn't done it resent but he has done it MANY times

[@rajeshwariroy7779]

Good luck for your century.

[@lago9752]

Bro means workshop hunters wktb da bois (kan, and cosmo)

[@prathammehra2720]

can you do this in first person awsome video btw

[@omgtntlol]

day 55 of asking scrapman to do a multiplayer where everyone starts at the crashed ship with a craftbot already at the mechanic station and everyone has 30 minutes to build a vehicle from scratch, no glitches, thrusters allowed, after which everyone meets up and races along some road

[@_xome4ok_348]

you could make a not very long six-wheeled car with tank control and not worry about cones and sharp turns at all))

[@tobiasegger2838]

Nice

[@nataliemerlin8487]

The winning time was 5:28:175 for scrap man CONGRATS!

[@gamingwithsid9531]

Hi scrap man I just wanted to ask u said u would do music under a name in the future in a trailmakers video. Any updates on it would be much appreciated. LOVE FROM DUBAI

[@SciNonFi]

it has been out for a while look up "Catarinth"

[@DrMcDoobie]

Day 1 of asking Scrapman to play/experiment in Trailmakers the high seas again

[@SpaceSoups]

I was kinda hoping for some double wishbone suspension action.

[@-LAWAN]

I really want u to bring back Workshop hunters

[@axoneer7806]

Great. bug splat while building.

[@DeWorDeR]

Dude u should try beam ng and try those people made maps like this :)

[@doombuddha]

I'd like to see how impossible it is for him doing this in first-person. Even after completing and knowing the map, I bet it would be hard

[@SpaceSoups]

MM challenge: everyone gets one wheel to control on the rock crawler.

[@afoxwithahat7846]

Fools, that was a hint for his next album name, Catarinth - Flippin' Cones

[@its_teddy5619]

Scrapman is that kid that got 98% in math and still cried

[@Nabitz]

The build is epic u r really good at creating stuff I would recommend “Stormworks Build and Rescue” it’s a good building game I have 9k hours in the game btw

[@psyduckbobo275]

Hi Scrapman😆

[@mattie8162]

Will there be more roboco i love the series

[@MrGaleor]

Am I first!!! Also supringly nice map edit: Also could have just added and extra set of rear controls to be a bit simpler lol

[@sirpanda5962]

so, i almost know nothing abt this stuff but would tank steering not have been better for this?

[@redmist6131]

Hey SM you should try some of the BMG Drive vehicle parcure boards they are very challenging

[@PyroRaptor1]

You should recreate the bonney gull plane

[@g.e-psimmons9175]

Maybe you could make a new base in scrap mechanic with Kan and Moonbo could share. What do you think?

[@jonasheath7723]

you should do a 100 days video in preparation for chapter two.

[@SharSXs]

Yes

[@ProjectRandos]

day one of asking scrapman more workshop hunters

[@TunaPastaSalad]

WEGE GANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@johnnybravo3869]

Time to go off-roading for real.

[@Bysin769]

A stabilizer bar will help lessen body roll… irl though.

[@minimaktig2423]

What’s the music after you hit the first cone? I really want that music

[@MrLarsgren]

looks like someone took what he learned from botfactory challenge and put it to good use XD

[@jaynobles.215]

This is amazing I made a comp rock crawler that i would love for you to check out!

[@CattyTatty]

if Kan played this map: DOUBLE WISHBONE GO BRRRRT

[@fruitlaunch8524]

Noti gang yes sir

[@borderelite]

I would have set up the rear steering to be both independent and combined

[@noahminatchy3297]

I have an Idea what if you make your own cource on the 1st sandbox map

[@gggamer3994]

you should do a trailmakers devolution video where you take away a 2 blocks each round and the winner gets 2 blocks to put on the vehicle

[@JustanOlGuy]

Aesthetics = No Go Showboat.

[@jessicacon]

one could say this challenge is #RageInducing

[@_The__Legend_]

Day 151 of Asking scrapman to make a Machine that make that uses the steal balls and magnets to make the steal ball orbit around your creation with out any thing touching them and try to take out a building with it in instruments of destruction

[@mp3_jpg]

No one: Homophobic parents telling their kids how to live: 18:51

[@crystallized9117]

anyone else see that huge sortcut on the top if the hill that bypasses the u-turn?

[@jimlahey9265]

Little bit of aesthetics....suddenly it`s a Fiat Multipla

[@Valjo_]

Can we just appreciate how much effort he puts into his videos. - Scrapman 0:11 -

[@MaoWRLD]

It was, infact, the one

[@grummanschumann6475]

o o f i'd rather look at the bare bones brick than that thing

[@dalainawillis507]

It’s all good until you realize there aren’t any bearings for you to use at least that’s how it was when I tried it

[@baconsking930]

you can't talk about wedge gang you built a rocket brick in instruments of destruction.

[@rigelstarz6032]

1 hours 4 minutes how do you always make videos near 4 am also i live in the north west timezone

[@froog116]

scrap man pls make a dino fight

[@lloydnoz7093]

Look at the right side of the screen at 20:53 the wall comes down maybe your supposed to go up it once it’s down
