Just remove every second hover engine and use the freed up complexity for more engines.

[@AlgeArid]

For each hover block he'd remove, he'd only be able to add one engine. That would result in an air pocket every two blocks, increasing air resistance, therefore reducing acceleration. If there is an increase in max speed, it wouldn't be visible before you hit the wall.

[@mightygreen3364]

I would rather say, replace some engines with the overheating ones with more power, and use the overheating ones when you hit ~1500

[@Midknight0122]

You can make a "pulse engine" by using the Raw jet set to pulse on and off in sequence using the delay opions, far more powerful and prevents overheating, pair them up or cube them so that you have two pairs either side, mirror it so there is no net torque left or right and you can go and CPU cooking speeds.

[@neelrama5938]

how fast can it go?

[@Midknight0122]

@@neelrama5938TL:DR How much room you got? it doesn't stop accelerating. Been a while but two sets of four Raw's, four front and four back to keep it even, some Helo engines for rotation and you'll be cooking well above 600 straight upwards. i've broken the sound barrier with very few of these things, just give it some run up and you'll get it pretty easily. What is the top speed? , i don't know exactly over 2K no worries, i've not found a hard limit on anything other than space available, the rate of acceleration slows after about 1.5K(give or take) but doesn't stop, give it a gravity assist and it gets messy and roasts my little AMD 2600X till i get FPS drops.

[@ibrahimhakksusuz2686]

try to make a vehicle that accelarates in a circular path. That way you wont need to worry about the walls of the map. You know adding connector parts to only one side drifts to vehicle that side. With the right amount of unbalancing you can find a circular path.

[@jacobellinger8027]

robocraft drone noises

[@KingNedya]

It will still spiral outwards, because as you increase your speed you will eventually reach escape velocity of the circular path, so the walls will still be an issue. In order for the circular path to remain stable, a constant speed is needed, which defeats the purpose of going as fast as possible. But, I suppose it's still worth a shot.

[@ibrahimhakksusuz2686]

@@KingNedya you are right. in order to gain speed on circular path you need to pin yourself to the center of the circle. but its unlikely. what i thought was when starting from corner of the map gives you the longest linear path to the other corner on diagonal. Can he make a quarter circle like parabola to the other corner with starting paralel to a wall and unbalancing with beams. it will still be longer. maybe the escape velocity is far more greater than max speed. V=sqrt(k.r.g) afterall

[@Egerit100]

He should just use the centrifuge. As the name implies, if he gets enough speed to wall-ride he will keep going straight forever. Just do loops and loops and loops

[@conductorfishy3028]

No, bad idea. Once you start going fast enough you will start to go into the floor and the slightest imperfection of the centerfuge will utterly destroy your vehicle. Not to mention that the centerfuge is not perfectly curved. One of my old friends held an earlier world record on the centerfuge race going around 3k-ish speed, maybe 3.5k

[@AuraMaster7]

Your propellor attempt had down force because your propellors were being raised way up above the center of mass. So they applied a moment forwards and down over the nose of the craft. The rocket one didn't have that problem because the propulsion was in line with the center of mass.

Dear RCE, Just letting you know, there is a “no drag glitch” that you could use. Instead of aerodynamic blocks, place detachable blocks horizontally in the same place and once you spawn in, detach all the blocks and it will have no drag on the parts the detachable blocks were! You should try it! Sincerely, Me.

[@alyyasserpranajaya3167]

he reached mach 3 without glitch is cooler though. but, im still wondering, is he really reach that speed without glitch at all?

somehow you have managed to make a hovercraft faster than the sr-71 blackbird. christopher cockerell and william bertelsen would be so proud.

[@Exilum]

I think you might've gained a bit of speed by having a fully symetrical build. The constant shift of the vehicle on the side reduces the distance you can travel enough that making it slightly heavier could be worth it.

[@samuelmade5776]

[@LucasPlay171]

I really liked the hovernado trailer! I might but one of those, or maybe even more! Who knows?

[@LaidBackSkiesFPV]

What if you remove more of the hover pieces so you can add more thrust? You only need enough hover pieces to keep it off the ground. Also maybe make it wider so you have more 'room' before you hit the other side. Don't know how that will affect the aerodynamics but would be cool to see if you can break the game by going so fast. One last thing would be to alternate the connecting pieces so you have somewhat even weight on both sides. Like a checkered pattern up the sides.

[@yoonseongdo3303]

maybe use fewer hover engine thingy and balance out the weight by alternating connections
