Wreckfest Tuning Settings - What They Do And How To Use.

This video looks at the Tuning Settings in Wreckfest.
Understanding how to alter the tuning settings can be a big advantage when competing in online races, or when trying to get a gold trophy in the weekly challenges and the season challenges.
It goes through each of the settings Suspension, Gear Ratio, Differential, and Brake Balance, and shows what they all do, how changing them affects the handling of the cars, and how best to set them for different track types.

Wreckfest is an amazing game with an amazingly entertaining and for the most part friendly player base. Super glad i got it

[@andrewjeffries8721]

Very good video, Crash. I easgerly await the arrival of Wreckfest and you have helped me!

[@williamtaylor3687]

That was a huge help, thanks

[@BunnyBun11]

Thank you for the guide! Ive got 40+ hours in this game and never tinkered with the tunning simplu because I never learned it!❤

[@crashracer]

Hope it's useful and best of luck 👍

[@jimgibbons1]

I, originally, deleted wreckfest because I could never balance my car. Just started playing it again and this definitely helps!

[@crashracer]

Really glad iit helps and enjoy playing 🙂

Wait are you that Gibbon that sometimes appears on the lists?

No problem and hope it was useful 👍

thx bro u did a good job at explaining

[@crashracer]

Thanks 👍 hope it was useful

[@WheelzGaming88]

I've been going all the way on my adjustments based on trying to get the max value in each category but I never win and perhaps this could be why

[@unwisethefox8808]

nice video. Thank you.

Thanks. Hope it was useful 👍

Hi very useful guide I just can’t get the tune right on the Mini Cooper aka “speedie” what do you use ?

[@BillDevon]

Good guide 👍

[@crashracer]

Thank you 🙂👍

Very good tutorial

Thank you 🙂👍

I'm trying to understand how to drift race, and I have fallen in love with the Speeddemon and Boomer RS when I'm strictly racing. I think for the mid and small size wheel bases, they tend to spin out in the corners when the differential is anywhere above middle towards locked. Car people tell me if this makes sense: the longer the car, the more lock you need to get the car sliding. But sometimes on dirt i fully lock the differential is its a full size but never on the mids and compact. Tarmac I'm 100% stiff always. Can't really figure out what to do on dirt and gravel. Not really sure what wheels the Ebrake locks either but i always tap it before the turn to get the car sideways by can't figure out exactly on the differential what's best.

[@JO13HN1]

Nice guide

[@crashracer]

Thanks 👍

How to set handbrake in wreckfest android version..? I dont see it in custom setting..

[@jimbojones7044]

What I’m wondering is,, Does it make any difference which tires you use on diff style track, mud tires on muddy track, racers or off-road style on tarmac or dirt? I can’t really tell if there is any change in how they handle.

[@crashracer]

I'm pretty sure the tires are just visual and make no difference to the handling of the car.

[@madison7514]

​@@crashracer I tried racers tires and off road tires. both have the same grip, but give the difference survival ability.

[@PurpleBossonius]

I have to mention one issue:
unless you are using clutch manual, it is advised to actually have longer gear ratio in general
because in auto shifting or non-clutch manual shifting, shifting the gear will cut power and slow the car down. longer gear ratio can make each gear last a bit longer before you should shift
the advantage of faster acceleration will be significantly offset by losing speed through power cutoffs during shifting, sometimes to the point where longer gearing actually accelerate faster
this is especially important on cars with wide powerband and/or susceptible to transmission damage a lot.

[@crashracer]

Thanks for this info and makes a lot of sense 👍

[@PurpleBossonius]

@@crashracer another thing I would like to point out is, for suspension height, lower/stiffer suspension is just objectively better most of the time, especially on large and heavy cars
it is true that both higher/softer and lower/stiffer suspension has its use, but usually body roll/handling/risk of tipping the car far outweighs the smoother ride. the time you lose in jumps can easily be made up in just one corner simply because low and stiff suspension corners way better. also the bottom of the car hitting the ground does not matter as much as people think, sure its not ideal but it won't really matter that much if you can afford losing a few hitpoints on the bumps.

[@PurpleBossonius]

@@crashracer also differential setting is heavily dependent on playstyle.
some people who prefer traditional racing will find open differential work better, while people who like drifting will find locked differential work better.

[@neindochoohh7955]

​@@PurpleBossoniusthats not true, at least not for all cars. NDO

[@PurpleBossonius]

@@neindochoohh7955 yeah not all cars.
its just that I particularly hate it when another car gives me the slightest nudge and I end up rolling the f**k over

[@gzsfrk]

All things being equal: assuming you’re racing on a relatively flat tarmac track, does stiffest suspension make your car faster or slower compared to loosest suspension, or no difference at all in terms of top end speed?

[@crashracer]

What a great question! So on a flat track, there will be no real difference in pure top speed on the straights whatever your suspension setting.

[@gzsfrk]

@@crashracer So then in terms of top speed, only the gear ratio setting impacts that then? (Again, on relatively flat tarmac tracks.) If that’s the case, then would it be safe to assume that most high-end players will generally go with a gear ratio setting of 4 or 5 (unless it’s a track with an unusually high number of sharp curves), and then optimize their driving to suit that setting? Seems like that would be the natural tendency over time for high-end competition looking to squeeze the absolute most out of their lap times.

[@crashracer]

@@gzsfrk there's not many circuits where there are straights long enough to benefit from the increased top speed you'd get from setting 5, and also it would make the car very sluggish accelerating out of slow corners. In general I would normally only use setting 2,3 or 4.

[@briansnead4787]

I only use the highest gear settings on the speed demon and the little old Beamer. The ones with line 10 Acc, you get too much 1st and second gear top out and they are made to run in 4 or 5.

[@tecno4u31]

So, 5-4-4-1 IS the BEST?

[@jarretttillman1952]

It depends

Unsure, perhaps it is linked to your inability to use punctuation.
