As the name implies, these engines are high-torque engines designed for use on armored fighting vehicles. The set on the left is identical to the set on the right, except that it is 10 times smaller to facilitate surface installation on mobile builds, because even though I am a card-carrying member of the PC Master Race, who believes Our Lord and Savior Gaben will save us from the temptations of EA and the sin of DLC, I care about mobile peasants. The orange engines have VTOL-controlled engine on the left, and Yaw-controlled engine on the right. You power both sides with VTOL, and then change an equal number on each side (about 1-2 wheels each) to the Yaw engine, ensuring that engine direction is "Reversed" for boths sides. This allows for use with VTOL and Yaw to control direction and hull traverse, respectively. Alternatively, this can be changed to Pitch and Roll, if so desired. The red engines are linked to VTOL (left) and Trim (right). You use this to control the port and starboard tracks, respectively. While providing superior power and better turning control than the previous arrangement, it is far less intuitive.

    I got SP on mobile simply because it was cheaper.

    That's a myth, it's a much more complicated concept. A high torque engine will produce more power than a high HP engine up to a point, at which it becomes actively inferior in energy output. However high HP engines are also generally more fragile. @Pilotmario

    What benefits do high torque engines have over the standard engines @Pilotmario

    1) Yes
    2) No (probably)
    I think the only two games that I know work on it are Zoo Tycoon 2 and Lego Loco.

    @FASTFLIGHT You can only spotlight people who have less points than you.

    @InternationalAircraftCompany Two questions:
    1) does it have a CD port?
    2) does it have a floppy disk port?

    My computer is like the founder of the PC Master Race. Seriously, it's like 13 years old.

    @JakeTheDogg If you ever need high-torque engines again, look no further.
