Trying to Evolve a Top 1% Formula Racer!

[@TTIOttio]

At 21:36, trackmania has taught me to take wins like that and stop, at least for a while. Whenever you get that big an improvement, you need to take a break - maybe when you’re refreshed you can cut off a few more seconds ^^

[@DatFrogGuy]

so true

[@DrPeeper]

Trackmania is also a good game in general anyways, so yeah

[@hardboiled_cat]

i can see the logic behind that

[@Wwii_enthusiast]

Yeah trackmania is a good game for kinda training your skill and less of a flat out “racing” game if you know what I mean

When you connected the aerodynamic pieces to the suspension in the rear you locked it out to basically having no suspension.. probably why you started to have handling issues

[@ThePhonax]

Not how TM suspension works. Good try though.

[@crayder1100]

Definitely not the case. No parts/body can be connected to both ends of suspension, pistons, etc. The game will just choose for you which parts connect to which end if you accidentally do connect both ends.

[@meow7985]

@@ThePhonaxit still was the reason why he had some issues and couldn’t take jumps, the wedges were going farther down that’s the suspension when compressed which lowered the traction caused unity bounces and destroyed the wheels on jumps

You should do more evolution, but ban certain blocks essential to the build. Racers without aerodynamics Planes without modular wings Submarines without buoyancy… Etc This would add a cool twist and let the evolution series return.

11:54 bro has the perfect cut scream

[@King9-zz6wb]

Soooo true😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Loop_Kat]

One of the reasons why you had so many stability issues after adding suspension is that the Rescue Update added a bug that causes the physics of certain mechanical blocks to completely misbehave _specifically_ when you respawn in race starting areas. It seems somewhat inconsistent as to when it occurs (entering Build Mode after respawn might negate it), but I've noticed that it causes suspension blocks to get extremely bouncy and jittery. The only method I know to reliably fix it is to respawn your vehicle _outside_ of any race starting area and you can even see that in this video because you're always really wobbly at the start of a race, but your vehicle gets much more stable after you crash and respawn mid-race

[@ThatSunwho]

It's most probably since he had his suspension stifness so high, he was basically using solid struts that had no choise but to compress on jumps, his driving would have been more consistant had his suspension been less stiff cause he could have pulled more gs on tuns and stuff, his ar was flipping alot because of that

[@Loop_Kat]

@@ThatSunwho That may be part of it, yes, but the bug that I described is something that I've experienced numerous times while playing, so I know that it causes very strange behavior with both soft and stiff springs

[@ThatSunwho]

@@Loop_Kat Makes sence, I've never played the game myself lmao. So i assume the problem was a mix

[@williambrawley5107]

I appreciate the way you do your video cuts with all the fails. I feel your pain and yet they are still funny to watch.

[@bossies3.076]

Hi scrapman! Just wanted to tell you that your car actually looks like a few cars from real life, It mostly looks like the “brabham BT46B” from 1987 b.c of the fan and spoilers, the fan was used to accelerate the airflow under the car for more downforce b.c of the “ground effect” and also the canards kinda look like f1 “x wings” from 1998 these were also used to create more downforce

[@dudewhoareu]

Great builds! Love to see the ideas your mind puts together! You always think out of the box and that's one of the many reasons I love your videos.

[@pularis1629]

For those wondering why it explodes when he has something touching the suspension, if I were to guess, as he has proven with a catapult, it can move side to side. Therefore, when put under extreme force, like the car landing a jump, in ever so slightly glitches into the block, causing a violent backlash, and then smashing back into the block with even more force, blowing it up

[@iikittycatii]

12:21 the way he said "good good good" perfectly in sync with the music is so satisfying

[@47DaveeXP]

gokart league would just be really funny lol

[@benbroadhurst1698]

For your next video about the races it would be a good idea at looking what your competitors are doing which you can the interrupt into your own builds or doing a review episode on the said vehicles and the other leauges

[@Donddedell]

Man these videos brighten up my day

[@DaviCandy66]

Same

[@Tennesseeguy47]

If you put small tafins on each end of the spoiler it well add a softer landing and keep downforce

[@SpinozicTroll]

0:32 aren't you technically one of them because it's your full time job? haha. I really love the way you approach evolving your vehicles, have learned a lot from you! Thank you for your videos.

[@calebjardine7]

Being a You Tuber myself on a different channel there is a lot more that goes in to a video then it looks. 5 times more then that when you take in to account this level of quality, and that's after taking in to account the efficiency savings of learning the craft well. There are many times that being a You Tuber is more time consuming then a full time job at this level. So actually, no he is not one of those people.

[@astramancer]

I loved the "no, seriously, this is really hard" montage near the end

[@Tatsumari_K]

I've actually done some "active aero" on a car that I built. Its not amazing (at least compared to anyone using glitches), but it allows you you increase or decrease the straight-line downforce on a whim, as well as increase "inside" downforce anytime you turn. It uses 2 pairs of servos on either side of the car with tail fins. one pair I have assigned to a key to increase/decrease the downforce (5 degrees - its alot) and then the other pair I have 1 servo paired to whatever direction I am turning with on the inside (5 degrees, no downforce - 10 degrees with downforce) and it keeps the car pretty stable. I also use suspension springs instead of straight springs which also seem to help with stability. When paired with these active aero winglets, I only need 4 spoilers so it saves on weight a bit Hope this helps

[@bartbevelander1993]

at 22:03 you see one using a hover vechicle that just cuts left before the first bank :P

18:45 its crazy how none of his wheels broke off, and then his car spun and hit the wall and he was still going trailmakers gave bro plot armor

[@Grunk-ik9os]

Since the space thruster has better acceleration and top speed isnt needed, i think it would perform faster overall than the prop.

[@denn501]

18:46 Man that was s m o o t h !!

[@Altimoo]

I've noticed when racing in Trailmakers, the number of wheels affects the top speed you reach (inversely). When working on a design of my own a while back, I made a three-wheeled vehicle and it was noticeably faster than with four. Definitely had some stability problems but downforce and tweaking helped.

[@treyrickey2423]

23:33 the space league sounds like it might be fun to watch

[@pmgvictor4625]

The funny thing about the propeller is actually close to real life (theoretical) formula 1 where it's at the bottom and is a vacuum that sucks or keeps the car stuck to the ground and provide a "down force" without having to add the extra weight in the front/back. Obviously you still need to balance the weight in the front/back still.

[@elarbuztheprotogen7376]

Something I've noticed with Quantum Rudders on Land Vehicles could be helpful for something like this. The Quantum Rudder makes land vehicles fall slowly, while it's not slow enough to completely prevent fall damage, a good suspension setup could definitely allow the car to land smoothly, I used that trick for the jump when I was doing this race, and it felt very smooth.

[@TlalocTemporal]

I doubt that's worth spending a third of your power cores on though. Maybe in one of the higher power leagues.

[@elarbuztheprotogen7376]

@@TlalocTemporal You only really need one quantum rudder for the trick to work, especially with such a small vehicle.

[@calebfosnight]

I have an interesting idea for dogfights, for example in your detachable wings video, you were struggling with your tail pieces, I was thinking you could have another set of wings that are facing left/right, and somehow get them to separately raise/lower depending on which tail you lose

[@asherthesupergamer2068]

[@raccun9670]

Day 6 of asking, Dear Scrapman, I have an idea. The challenge would be to go as fast as possible in either kp/h or time from corner to corner of the grid map with a set power core limit like maybe 50 or 100. I think this would be an interesting challenge due to the need to balance aero, acceleration and the power limit.

[@cyantasks7129]

I actually really enjoy this style of video, you should do more!

[@chettiarsirusraj9501]

You need to use the straight suspension instead of the straight suspension since the straight suspension is giving straight bounce back to the vehicle unlike the regular suspension which takes the landing impact into the suspension frame itself at an angle causing your vehicle a smoother bounce back on the landings.

[@thefatcat2790]

The crash-montage is EXACTLY how I felt doing this race! Oh the uncontrollable pebble in the Trailmakers suspensions!

[@kerbes93]

Your biggest issues were as such: 1. Wheel base needed to be wider by at least a block. 2. Front Facing Prop would have been better. 3. The Rear Wheels could not handle the power you were putting through them, wider/larger wheels would be better for that. Other than that, you had a neat concept.

[@Meee52]

Love this style of video's love ro see more

[@Carguy867]

When you are comming in for the jump you need to slow down to get a softer landing!

[@CookieGamer-tq7ym]

i did a 46.8 second time with 10 power cores im bad at building and racing in trailmakers but i think 47 place in this leage is good my parts where 2 dragon engines 2 small thrusters and 2 gyros for tipping back or forrwards at the 2 jumps

I think the gyro steering was the root of ScrapMan's problems at the beginning. Normal steering, like he would have used before the space update, would likely have been much less touchy. Instead, maybe he could have used a stabilizer.

[@socialus5689]

This is fun, you should do this with more categories.

[@noelradhakrishnan4423]

that was awesome. adding a gyro for roll could've helped at the turns I think

[@liamgriffin3196]

I am top 10 in multiple rally races propellors are probably the best thrust to power cores to weight in the game. also the problems with your vehicle flipping was because your centre of downforce was not centred and like an off centred lift for a plane it causes instability's. also for a massive increase in consistency use the other suspension as it makes your vehicle less fragile also max stiffness and dampening is absolutely a must as no downsides only benefits also remove steering help it causes some inconsistencies like you were having in the tunnel

This is just a guess, but I think the gyro might be the reason for the seemingly random flips. I'd assume using both hinges and gyros to steer is sub-optimal.

[@DaviCandy66]

I told him the same thing! It’s the gyro’s dampening forces that make the weird twisty maneuvers and flips happen. It happens to one of my cars with a gyro for steering
