Certain korok puzzle pieces (like "+") were used for the normal stacked engine but they don't seem popular for this and are on the wide side for good cornering. Capstans seem the best pick at the moment.
So I’ve been researching these types of engines for my build testing lately. Are FESCA engines a combination of gravity-pressed wheels with quantum linking? And also, how do the wheels stacked in opposite directions increase the RPMs like that? Could you gravity-press two wheels in the same direction and still get the boost? Thanks
Covered at 0:08. See my configuration comparison to see the effects all in action at once: ua-cam.com/video/UCpfZY0nWMM/v-deo.html No, if you can understand the concept of the stacked engine shown in that video, this takes it a step further by stacking another engine and the same concept applies; it has to be in the other direction in order to provide the boost. Don't be confused by the wheel arrow direction, it's the AXLE direction that matters! With a stacked engine, 1 wheel acts as an engine to the 2nd wheel providing double speed. With FESCA 1 wheel acts as an engine to the other part of the engine (2x speed) which THEN provides a further boost to the driving wheel/s (3x speed).
In short, yes. Outer wheels are quantum linked and the gap must be large enough for the middle wheels to fit. Middle wheels are gravity pressed I recommend using hover stones to press them together first because you make the wheel stub on one of the sides retract, second the hover stones prevent the wheels from despawning. Middle wheels must be facing opposite directions, why? Because of the same precept as the single stack wheel engine. Opposite directions make the wheels spin faster, because the stub spins opposite of the wheel meaning that if you accelerate the spin of the stub the wheel spins faster and for you to accelerate the stub speed is to attach a wheel in the opposite direction. The middle rig in FESCA has a middle wheel spinning in the direction of the of the outerwheels that wheel is spinning the other middle wheel in a direction that accelerates the stub in the opposite direction of the outer wheels which translates to 3x speed. Hope this helps.
