@Pinata14 It already is, when the wheels and car engines are introduced.
But it is not, because this is where the “cool” things come from.
@CDRxavier thank you, feel free to make the necessary improvements and let me see it! With the new updates, this design is basically obsolete and would be better rebuilt instead
@Pinata14 I love this car.
However, from my brief experiences, the differential lock can be improved.
I snapped SPHERES in place of the wheel, so there are more friction. But then different things start to kick-in.
The differential lock do not look well, and jams a lot of times if one was to actually use it. Differential lock was also nearly useless when cornering and easily breaks.
The engine works FINE, as piston-engines are not supposed to work in big-torque situations.
Main reason the piston engine do not work well on this car is because of the differential lock. If it was to start the movement of a car, one would experience a pretty smooth ride all-way long even if the engine ran out of fuel.
I am up voting it for all the mechanism, but the diff-lock need to be improved. Thanks for the work.
@Pinata14 Hey I reset my computer and phone so I lost all my planes :(
Thanks for all the comments and upvotes everyone! @Kadin821 I am thinking of making an updated version with fixed steering, a softer spring clutch, a better suspension, and maybe even more pistons to run better without jet assist. If you or anyone would like to see that or any other improvements before you make a car with it then please let me know!
I am making a car out of this
Just have to say fair play to you!
Great job I have been hoping someone would make this or maybe they will add a transmition part
Awesome
No words.
I immediately follow you!
The complexity of the gear box... Wow!
A... maz....ing!!!! Just, how, I mean really, just WOW.
i struggle to comprehend this... this is why i prefer direct drive electric planes to piston engined cars with complicated gearboxes, clutches, and various other moving bits...
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I know right!! @TrainDude amazing bro
Complicated, but very interesting. Nice clutch and overall design. However, the steering didn't work that well for me.
