Hi Mr. ScrapMan, this is Simon, one half of the two-men team that created Screw Drivers :D
I just wanted to say how awesome it is to see you play and enjoy our game. We're having an absolute blast watching each of your videos, and you and your video editor have already inspired us a lot in what we could still add to the game. If you or anybody has any feedback whatsoever for us, throw it at us we are so eager to hear your ideas and your suggestions!
P.S: The ghosts aren't getting stronger with your car class, but we have a plan on how to make the monarch challenges stronger in the future ;) Aaaand apart from a small mini map we added last week, we also added a second career to the game which includes the tech tree from the demo again ;D
Cheers Simon
Something that could potentially be really cool is to have that 19:00 overlay in the actual game, which is great for visualising how the drivetrain is performing

Bro our profile picture has the same type of cat💀@cyantasks7129
@@Yosfalm3dl oh yea
Leave the electric engines alone and do the gear shifting on the combustion engines. This will keep the good acceleration of the electric ones while giving you a better curve in acceleration once the electric engines tap out.
I don’t really comment often but if you put a bigger gear on the same axle that is attached to a smaller gear turned by a big gear then connect a small gear from another axle it will increase top speed but reduces acceleration so long as the final small gear is connected to the drive axle works the same in reverse for more torque/acceleration
Hey SCRAPMAN, u should have been using capacitors too!
I wonder if any of those 'aesthetic pieces' that look like this game's equivalent of Sloped Pieces are any good for Aerodynamics...? Also, do the ends of long pieces count as Aerodynamic...?
Try switching the combustion engine either the electric engines. Also try stacking the gears
4wd does not increase acceleration directly but instead decreases wheel spin this is also affected by mass if you have more mass the wheel fight the ground more making wheel spin less common and also lets you take sharper turns before spinning out but it should not be the biggest factor on grip also you should use fwd if you have a lot of weight in the front and and bwd if you have a lot of the weight back also top speed should not be followed all that closely top speed and acceleration are hand and hand if you can easily get to top speed make top speed higher and if you can't reach to top of your top speed get more acceleration and decrease your top speed
I think you should be focusing less on the stats and learn how a power curve works, it gives you way more insight into how your changes are influencing the power train.
This is a good tip. Also try to make some junky 4 or 6 gears gearboxes so you get used to the gear spacing, mounting points etc.
The stats were okay scrapman just didn't know that the mid acceleration he was talking about was actually top speed
All he needs to do is increase top speed like kan did but since he got double the HP kan had he could prob reach 200kmh as well without having to sacrifice to much acceleration like kan did
@@tierinie no gearing on electric engines gave him poor acceleration on higher speeds
@@Diabolicue909 you're contradicting yourself, because the reason why he had so much HP was because all his EVs was geared for acceleration not top speed like I said..
The big drop off in the chart was the EVs reaching their gear ratio limit and going into combustion power
@@tierinie he needed lower gearing on electric to get power on higher speed. I wrote it backwards i See now
Props to the editor, she or he did a amazing job
agreed. love all the stats!
I was just talking to sapphire/Simon (main dev of the game) and he loved the animated torque curve and mouse over curve for numbers, he may or may not want to add some of it to the game
@@10010Linus that would be awesome
"they" is a word that is fitting for this exact situation
I believe scrapman edits his videos on weekends, the editor has the weekend off i think was stated
Really useful edits, that should totally be a feature in the game. Especially the torque in relation to current speed popup, it immediately showed the problem in that race
Especially the overlaying of power curves, those were really educational.
him gearing down the electric engines and not realizing hes running out of rpms so they where doing nothing most of the time was hard to watch
It was kinda painful tbh
But also educational, thus good viewing! I can't be the only one benefiting from this Edutainment in Disguise. :)
When building a new vehicle, I put down a long axle, and delete everything else, then I build inside out.
It helps me figure out where to put everything.
Also, electric engines have so much torque that if you have enough of them, you can go straight for a medium to small gear ratio (increasing your top speed) with only sacrificing a very small amount of acceleration.
Thank you for the building tip.
Here's a similar/supporting tip: The 90 degree gears can snap to each other in any orientation without needing an axel connection to build off of.
The last Electric Engine, is a pain to build with, but once one has that one, it makes for a few ridiculous design options.
Edit: And I know the 3 Last Electric Engines have the same hassle to build with, but no engine is comparable to the final Electric one. Sure you could use 2 of the Final combustion ones, but that takes up a lot of space as well...
@@livedandletdie you can actually flip pw blazes sideways so they only take up two points of an axle per every two engines. They can fit into each other. You can also do some shenanigans with the biggest electrics too. But it's more of a pain.
@@ShawnF6FHellcat Yep. Though that one seems like a bug and can be a pain to use. I tend to build out with circle connectors, you can kinda spam it (since they're one of the few pieces that can lock into another of itself) and then just delete all but one once they're in the right area you want to build in.
Huge props to the editor for the graphics, especially the one that showed where on the acceleration curve scrapman was during the up hill race. Would love if you keep this for future episiodes.
Even with the current engines that you have, you can attain higher top speed or acceleration by stacking gears. Have one axle where engines could be attached on, then if you'd like acceleration, attach small gear to it which transfer to bigger gear on another axle. And on that other axle, add another small gear anywhere you want and let it transfer to another bigger gear on another axle. Do it couple of times and you'd end up with higher acceleration. To attain higher top speeds, do it the other way around. You can attach them to the side of the chasis on the outside to fully utilize space. Or of course, you can beat the challeges to attain better combustion engines or big gear which is useful for increasing top speeds. Gear shifts works best with combustion engines. You can shift gears more than twice (the curent gear shift that you have allows only two shifts) by stacking those gear shifts as well. Meaning, you can have up to the 6th gear by having 3 gear shifters.
Right...
TLDR: Attach the gears by the faces to maintain rotation speed or torque but increase angular velocity of the teeth, giving more power.
How to make a gearbox 101....
planetary gears are later in and are great 👍
i usually make front for acceleration and then back for speed
You gotta get out of trailmakers mind set of just adding more engines.. it’s all about the gearing in this game
Yes and no in this case. I think the issue in this case was he was adding more electric motors, but he was losing speed at the top end. instead of adding another electric i think he should have added another combustion engine, which would have given him more power at the top end, so he could maintain a higher top speed.
i pull 300kph out of 2 planetary gears making the wheels faster with good acceleration out of electric motors
Hey Scrapman, I have a unique video idea. So there’s this area in the airborne map called Dry Oasis, and it’s basically a large pit with a bunch of balloons in the middle, including a flak balloon. My idea is to have you and maybe 2 others build vehicles and see how many laps you can do around the oasis before you get ripped to shreds. I’ve done this myself and it requires a balance of controllability, speed, and tankiness. I think it would either have to be a time trial or a destruction derby where all of you go at once and race around the oasis which, I forgot to mention, is full of rocks and trees. I think it would make for a great video.
(Commented on a video a bit ago but you didn’t see it 😢)
I wanna see this
We need more ideas like this, making challenges out of the environments we have.
Going back to the OG campaign map for some challenges could be fun, like a king of the hill game on the floating islands.
22:00 reverse the gear ratio on the electric motors that changed their acceleraton from 45 to about 90 but it isnt that insane anymore but the fact that you climb the hill with 80 means you will get it much faster (edit please like this he got to see it)
Hey Scrapman, couple of tips for you from someone that's completed the game without spoiling things.
1: Gears have no collision with the ground or the body of the vehicle once you start driving.
2: it does not matter which direction the gears face after doing gear reductions. the game magically turns your wheels the correct direction.
3: hybrid drivetrains (electric and combustion) are really good because it combines the acceleration of electric and top speed of combustion engines. even though I completed the game only using combustion engines and a RWD vehicle.
4: keep an eye on the free drive map, every time you defeat a Monarch there will be "hidden" treasure for you to find. these unlock extra parts you can't get just by doing the career races.
Hope this helps!
I just finished the final monarch yesterday, and I was just coming here to give similar tips, but looks like you already did.
Gears have no collision but I have OCD so I always make sure it doesn't collide with the ground... lol
Also if you're like me and you don't like seeing all the parts sparkling like that you can set the graphics to Medium settings.
Although 1 and 2 may technically fly in this game, it's hard not to feel like they're kinda cursed... Also, it's hard not to wonder if they are even intended or stuff that's just awaiting their Polish and thus it's hard not to wonder if getting used to using that kinda Cursed Building really would be a good idea...
There should be a race giving you a massive electric engine coming up. That'll help a lot with acceleration.
If you want to get a lot of top speed, you'll definitely want gearboxes with all engines before them. Then you can adjust the ratio between the gas and electric to make the curve better.
Finally, it's possible to use multiple gearboxes, and if they have different ratios the game will properly detect this.
I tried building a 3 speed car by using 2 gear shifters and ended up with 6 gears, I dont know how like even the math doesn't add up. 2 x 2 = 4 so 4 makes a little bit sense but 6 ?
@@gokselaras9002 That is a known bug. If you got into free roaming, you'll find out that some gears are doubled. For best results, you should have the lower gear in the first position of the gear shifter and the faster one on the second position.
With good gearing, you can do 6 and more usable gears.
@@Multithreadi7 thanks bro, I appreciate
Scrap; you are wonderful at biased builds towards goals. In that same breath, Kan is a massively useful resource for velocity function. Every competition video from Kan is focused on making a chassis that can keep his forces inside his vehicle/gravCenter. You're great at reading numbers; he's great at creating ridiculous numbers that can be more effectively tuned.
But goodness gracious; you are fantastic at reading feedback :D
P.s. more grip is from the wider wheelbase and the increased weight. more downforce through the centre
Have been playing for ~32h, never played any of these kind of games, but this one tickles my fancy (mainly because it's free, lol). The building takes some getting used to, but one tip is to always use big axles, and then delete them to put the right one in.
Also one tip:
From a lot of testing, i can tell that electro, with engine in series and THEN into shifting works best. I love to test acceleration and top speed builds. I still have found a few glitches on how to get crazy speeds. (try to not fixate the shifter ;) )
The editor seems to be exponentially improving the quality of ScrapMan's videos.
So help fill in the power curve, you could put electric motors on the drive shaft in addition to the geared axels.
I just built a 3 speed in this game using the first transmission you get that has an acceleration of 67m/s. I used the combustking chassis with a driveshaft. I believe the classes is only for the leaderboards
21:12
Adding another engine will not increase your top speed since the engines have a maximum rpm. It will simply give you more power, which allows you to use a more top-speed-focused gear ratio.
You could think of it like using one arm v.s two arms to crank something. Using two arms makes it easier, but you won't be able to crank it any faster.
This thumbnail looks familiar 🤔
he made a communitypost with this thumbnail a few hours ago
@@sdal_yt no hes comparing the thumbnail, with the previous screw driver video, this basically is the continuation of the previous thumbnail, pretty neat
The audible ding for the photosensitivity section is a stroke of genius. Excellent touch, editor
best scrapman thumbnail yet
Nice!
Nice!
lol
Nice
the editing in these videos just keeps getting better and better!
I love your videos scrapman I remember the scrap mechanic steampunk series
Kan - adding more gear shifts to get as much speed as its possible from engine
Scrapman - MOAR ENGINES
Loving this game so far, thank you so much for making this great content. Keep It Up👍
I love your editing with the orange line and stuff like that
for one, i think that the stats are calculated in total wheel spin to powered wheels, not in total utility, therefore not making a stat change at 4WD and suspension change, and for second, the editor is going crazy, this is legit the most difficult stuff i've seen an editor do plus it's just so clean, all the props to them
The problem with the acceleration race was that all your acceleration came from the electric engines which have a low top speed, so you would reach like 50 km/h quickly but then all your acceleration was gone because only the combustion engines worked.
So like you said you have to increase the middle of the torque curve which you could do with an extra combustion engine geared for acceleration
Okey! First I wasn’t so impressed with this game (after the demo) but NOW! Damn! I really love what I see! It has some GREAT possibilities! You could probably build an insane vehicle in the end! Topping all the leaderboards! Just seeing the difference between yours and KAn’s vehicles are insane. You’ve come further in the game process than kAn but his car would probably eat yours for breakfast.
That’s just showing how much the different builds make an impact on the final result!
Really looking forward for more episodes of this! With your knowledge in engineering and from scrap mechanic I think you could be the one that are topping the leaderboards soon! 💪💪💪🤴
Keep crushing the monarch’s and become the real king!!
I discovered this game through your vids, already beat it. Love it to bits, and I get extremely excited seeing a new vid of it pop up. I managed to get gold in every race before beating the monarchs, so it's definitely possible but it took me roughly 50 hours to beat the campaign that way. I am not as inclined towards this sort of stuff as you are, so take that with a grain of salt.
I found a lot of success early game by getting engines through a gear ratio and then having motors directly on the axle. Not sure if it's best practice but it worked out for me until I got into the mid levels and my builds became much larger with the power to hold them up. Tip : you can do multiple gear ratios in a row to increase power even more (ex. medium gear from engine to small on output shaft, output shaft has a medium gear itself as well, going into another small gear basically doubling the ratio but tanking acceleration, hence why I put the motors on the axles directly at first while the driveshaft carried the engine power but the gear shifter completely negated the need for this setup).
Edit : Downforce helps A LOT later on, especially when facing wheelspin and uneven center of mass. For 4x4 drive, I highly suggest higher spoilers in the back and low spoiler in the front slightly wider then the back (should be roughly the same as the wheel span) depending if its meant to turn or not. Weight distribution is EXTREMELY important. FWD/RWD is suggested for asphalt racing giving more power to a single axle, but enough of the races are mixed or offroad that overall leaning to offroad is beneficial and doesn't hurt much on the road. Always improve grip if possible.
It is kinda anoying watching someone struggle and not be able to help them easily, I have already completed the game and what you are doing is in the right direction but it is possible to beat the game with all golds with just the starter chassis. Keep trying you'll get there.
The difficulty changes depending on your class
The times of gold, silver, and bronze remain static. And the tracks don't change either. So... No. Maybe you're thinking of the demo?
day 4 of asking scrap man to return to satisfactory
more screwdrivers
1) Adding more engines will only gain you acceleration because each engine will still rotate at the same speed no matter how many you add. The only way to increase your top speed is either with a better engine, adding more gears, or attaching bigger wheels. You could have easily improved your vehicle for hill climb by having medium gear go into a small gear and then putting a medium gear on the same axel as the small gear and connecting that medium gear to a small gear again. You can keep chaining this for more top speed but less acceleration.
2) The acceleration stat can be misleading. When you attached the electric engines to small gear that drove the big gear, you increased acceleration at lower speed but now the help from the electric engine drops off at lower speeds, so you won't accelerate fast after that drop off. So getting that extra acceleration at that low speed actually hurt your vehicle more than helped.
3) Building tips: I always start off with floating axels and gears and build my transmission first. just build a temporary structure to the desired axel position and then immediately delete that structure. I usually have the long axel going through the vehicle like you have, and then I build upwards from that axel. The best way is to place a gear shifter above the drive axel with a 1 unit space in between. Then attach a medium and small gear to the gear shifter axel and the drive train accordingly.
4) Lastly, check out steam creations!!! this is the best way to get an idea of the best building configurations. Just so you know what's possible, I have personally uploaded a working dump truck with pistons that extend its bucket and it has a 6-speed transmission. I have also built a race car that can go 250 mph (400 km/h) with 100+ acceleration. The only thing is that I don't know if the steam workshop is working right now because the loading times have gradually been increasing as the amount of builds have increased. And now I can't seem to load it anymore.
That moment when you realize he doesn't know how to step-down to step-up again with more torque :p
Max Mediocrity: Functionality=spd^2*Handl^-2.
not sure the equation for handling
The axels are joined together so put gas on the back and electric on the front. Then you can have a higher gear ratio for the gas. Also when you jump the arrow keys will make you spin and flip. Do not worry about gears sticking into the ground. There is no actual collision with them. I would do 8 tires and 8 engine (4 gas and 4 electric). Did you find capacitors for the electric engine yet?
There has since been a minimap added, and the haunted mountain bench flash of death has been fixed too... Now my only major gripe is that there should be an orbit camera, because the current follow camera is not great for most situations, especially when having to quickly change directions...
Adding engines wont help you with top speed. The engines spin up to 9krpm and thats the fastest they will go. The transmission is helping with the ratio so the engine spins the same but the wheels go faster then the 9k rpm would allow by itself. So basically higher gear ratio = top speed stacking gears on each other like a real transmission does allows you to do proper speeds with the same amount aof power (or even less). You will need more power later when the air resistance is getting too high and the engine will need to push through harder to go faster from that point. The electric engine is really there to just help you with the acceleration as you did with your build so you dont need to change anything there. About the curve it will stay this kind of harsh looking thing where it drops all of a sudden but thats normal for a hybrid the electric motors help with the start and are very fast but when the combustion engine starts kicking in it will drop. So just stack gears to get a good ratio it should be able to be pretty high because the electric engines will help to keep it going fast and now with the gear change you could easily use the big gear to get some serious speeds.
Hope its helps :)
In my opinion, the best way to future proof your designs are to oversize the chassis and then run your powerplant off a single output shaft that feeds power into your inevitable gearbox and from there output your gear box to a drive shaft that distributes power to the axle(s).
On your gas engines you will need to change the gearing in order to get higher top speed. From engine to wheel, have a big gear to a small gear, or you could have a medium gear to a small that is connected to a medium gear that goes to a small gear. If you want a visual you should go look at kan’s videos. Hope this helps! 😁
You might want to first focus on your understanding of gears. Adding loads of engines isnt the right answer. This adds mass needlessly.
Here is a decent starting point to learn about gearing:
ruclips.net/video/4ROtKKuSaBI/видео.html
Dont know if youve already done this but, glider bombs hear me out, you build a plane with a human controlled bomb that detatches from the plane and can be guided in toward the target however the bomb is conpletly unpowered and has to gulide into the target you could have the target be a car/tank/mobile anti air and see who can survive the longest
love ur vids especially the hide and seek ones
keep up the good work
31:00 Do a peak power build, and add gears to get multiple peaks. Means gas engines slowed down, or electric sped up before gearshifts
scrap dosnt understand that a big to small means it has higher acceleration, and smaller to bigger means more horse power/torque, like it so he sees this
Put the combustion engines on a low gear ratio
Two electric engines on a high gear ratio
And the rest of the engines directly on the axle
The combustion engines will give the top speed
The gear ratiod engines will give great acceleration at low speeds
And the engines directly on the chassis will give slightly higher top speed than the ones on the gear ratio, while still contributing to acceleration
On top of this, make this mass of engines a modular "engine" and add the gear shifter to transmit power to the drive shaft
to anyone reading the comments but dont have the game it just came out of the demo into early access and its free check it out if you like his videos about it
I love your editor
In freemode you can open a minimap by pressing m
In my game it always says it in the top left
hey just wanted to let you know that in freedrive if you press M thjere is a minimap
you should add more gearing (big to small) and put a TON of hp on the start
Hey scrapman, i think the best hybridation would be to put as many electric engines as you can directly on the driveshaft (don't forget the small ones with capacitor), or maybe even some on a gear ratio to increase their top speed a bit, making several "steps" rather than just one large drop in power, and gearing up your combustion engines with horizontal gears for space saving reasons, to max out your top speed. So making several steps of electric engines to lead to the final all combustion ratio, and maybe afterwards making all of that go into a full gearbox, which should let you have several gear ratios in addition to the (somewaht fake) gear ratios you get from the different electric gearings, making it all more optimised both for top speed and acceleration at all speeds
You want some electrics on the middle range as well, depending on where you want you have good acceleration (high torque).
Editor is killing it!
18:58 , I really like the graph here while hes driving, keep doing it! ( unless its too hard )
w editor as always
Can’t wait till he starts making 240+ hp vehicles
Day 205 of asking scrapman to test how fast emp is in trailmakers
Seeing Scrapman struggle, while I'm constructing literal planes ingame... Screw Drivers! Engineering is hard. The engine and gearing not that much, but doing ridiculous stuff like designing planes, sure is riduculously hard. It's not too hard to get the principles behind it, but yeah, it's strange how I can start on the ground and then a few minutes later be soaring so high that I can see the entire island below me.
you can build planes in this game? splendid
you should start gear stacking basically one gear ratio on another.
this game prob looks easier than it actually is, but its still a treat.
What are you gonna do for a 900k sub special?
13:55 it has more grip because of the increase in weight of the vehicle
this game is quite a bit like playing with lego technic
You need to have your combustion and electric engine on the same axle so you dont have a massive dropoff in acceleration at low speeds
And you'l still have pretty good acceleration
Day 340 of asking scrapman to battle with flying tanks

Does this have multiplayer?
yes but it is still being worked on
Focus on gear ratios and gear shifting. Experiment with your performance curve just using those. The engines are a bit less important.
The secret sauce for smooth curves is "compound gears". Which causes "gear reduction" axle to axle.
The gear shifter is critical for best performance using combustion engines. Try experimenting not just "big to small" or "small to big". But also try the "small to medium". Then compound gears ( where ----- is an axle)
----B----
----S--S
--------M
See how that would get an in-between ratio?
for two gas engines, big gear to medium gear to small gear to drive shaft axel.... for electric, small gear to medium to big to drive shaft axel, one electric on front wheel axel, one gas on rear wheel axel, if you wish to use shifting make your drive shaft push back and engage to the opposite gear ratio.
O---o-O-o---O
that should be the drive shafts basic look from the side, start there. in 1st gear the small gear on the left and the big middle gear should be engaged... when you shift up and push the drive shaft to the back of the car the middle gear and Right gear should be engaged... make sure to remember small is 1 block medium is two blocks from the center and big gear is three, diagonal gears dont engage you can make your engine smaller overall with that info... smaller cars have better turning but you lose control without WEIGHT and GRIP which feed each other.... a 90 kg weight put AT YOUR CENTER OF MASS will help these issues. also if you put dirt tires and suspension in the back and race wheels and suspension in the front. your front electric acceleration will benefit the race wheels and rear top speed gas motors will benefit the dirt tires and suspension. Good luck and all hail.......
THE SUSPENSION MUG GODS
On the acceleration challenge uphill, you think too much in terms of "Acceleration vs Top speed" while what's holding you back is a matter of "Low RPM power vs High RPM power." Check 17:42 for example. Your RPM are above your electric engines limits (they stop helping after 60km/h as per your power graph) during the entire climb, which means adding more electric engines mostly just adds more weight while more gas engine could help more, until you start switching gears anyway.
23:53: I love how you built a little attachment spot for each front spoilers before talking about how it's hard to figure out how to build things efficiently in this game... while you had perfectly good attachment points directly on the suspension for the spoilers! lol
It's so fun watching you play this game, I hope you keep it up and eventually start showcasing some workshop stuff!
35:27 Scrapman: I see no god up here... other than me!
The editor did an amazing job again with all the diagrams!
I only noticed one small mistake: At 5:35 you, dear editor, corrected the y axis, which is great, but you forgot to correct the x axis as well. The electric engine curve should drop off at 75.6 km/h.
It's just one out of the many charts that's slightly wrong though, so not a big problem :)
The whole acceleration thing in this game seems a bit comfusing.
20 m/s² is a bit over 2g, which means you should get to 100km/h in
Scrap, You are making a few big mistakes:
1. electric engines should be put along those combustion, they should drive the same axis as gas engines to reduce power gap between engines...
2. You need ONLY ONE electric engine to have full throttle at start, rest is rely on power from gas engines
3. gas engines have better mass/power (throttle) ratio
Hey scrapman, for acceleration and holding the speed you want more torque, meaning you want smaller gear going to bigger, 2 gearboxes and then possible two same sized gears (medium are probbly best) and then you want medium gears going to big. It's the best way to do it.
Also, you want each type of engine going to different gearbox. Since electric provides torque and acceleration, but combustion engine provides speed and power. The game itself will know, when is the best time to use which one. You lowkey want to make engageable system of power. The game will use electric for accelerating and combustion for keeping the speed.
Scrapman, please- turn the bloom and depth of field off under graphics in settings, it ruins the video quality. It looks blurry natively when i play the game on my 4k monitor, so 1080p WITH video compression makes things look way worse then they need to be. I really love how your one of the only creators making content on this amazing game but honestly, it hurts my eyes sometimes😭
If you agree please like so he can see this, thank you!

Honestly, I think you should go 'Free Drive' to do your testing before you do any of the actual events. It may or may not be a thing yet, but if it keeps an overall performance score based on your event placements, even if you go back to redo them, you're probably wrecking your overall stats. I don't know if that's a thing you're concerned about in the long run, but as it keeps rank scoring against other player's ghosts and times, personally, I would consider it....but that's just me.
That being said, most of this only really applies if the game uses all information cumulatively, instead of using just the best results.
For a smother curv, have a minimum of 3 sets of engen (combustion and electric = 1 set). With a gearing 1:2, 1:1, 2:1 driving the same axel. Then I belive u wold have a smother curv.
31:50, when i saw it, i was just driving the pipe up on the spot where the chest was, and still got me it. So all your work was unneceserily. Also, you can potentially download yourself some Vehicles off of the Workshop (for which i recommend the "Tandem rotor" why? It can fly, and has good control) which is kinda cheating, but you do what you can i guess
Setting your electric engines on assorted parts of the gear train will help reduce that middle drop. Their power offering is limited by the "top speed" they can provide, once that is exceeded it no longer benefits your acceleration. Three electrics with 3:1 [small gear to big gear], 1:1 [direct drive] and 1:3 [big gear to small gear] should ease the drop. This can also be done with gear shift parts.
My first proper creation was a rear-wheel drive offroader with 4 combustion engines and 2 medium(?) electric motors. The rear axle had a small gear, which meshed with a medium gear on an axle that had the electric motors attached. Then, that same axle had a small gear which meshed with a medium gear on another axle that housed the combustion engines. This setup allows the electric motors to provide acceleration up to higher rpms, making your torque curve longer. Make sure you balance gas and electric power to smooth the curve, for constant acceleration at any speed. A lighter, smaller car, will always have better handling than a big car like yours, not accounting for suspention and power differences. Basically, make an racing rc car.
