This was really cool! Found this while trying to see what a planet gear does, but as this video shows, it's just another gear shifter. I will definitely be trying this! You are very underrated. :)
The planetary gear can be a reducer or to increase rotation, In robotics they are used to reduce rotation speed. By using more revolutions on the drive (stepper) motor the resulting arm movement is more accurate and stronger at the same time in a very small space. They are also crazy strong as there are more gear teeth making contact at the same time. :) Look up ring gears for similar function. "Adam Savage Vault door" is an excellent video to watch.
My most mechanically interesting gearbox was using 3 triple shifters, with each shifter having an option to connect an increasing ratio, a decreasing ratio, and a straight transfer. Was kinda crazy how quick it changed gears tho hehehe
The planetary has a diameter of 3 on two lengths and a diameter of 1 (even though it doesn't look it) on 1 length, though since you're using it as a reducer you would need 3 full lengths outside of the engine for it to work.
lol much cleaner than the one I built, but you’ve got more parts unlocked than I do. Definitely going to copy some of your solutions here, particularly the 2-1-1 gear set up. I was trying to figure out how to line things up for multiple speeds, and I was missing that. Basically ended up using 2 separate transmissions, one with a 2:2 and a 3:1 and the other on a separate shaft using 2:90° gear and 90°:2. (90° is basically a 1.5 gear) I’m not sure how the game chooses which gear set to access, I think it goes 1.5:2-2:2-2:1.5-3:1 meaning the gears aren’t actually sequential but flops back and forth between gear shifters. Weird setup, but it works. Getting near the same top speed you did but your acceleration is a lot better because you’re using better engines than I have access to currently.
My 4 speed was twice that size. Very Cool Design having the input and output on the shifter parts with the long axle to the side/top. WHERES THE TURBOS?
Great design, but just a quick tip, make the game a little less loud, i turned it up to hear you better, and then got a massive jumpscare once you where driving :D
On the build above I forgot the electric capacitors and the turbos for the gas engines. The seven "SPEED'S" are due to the drop off of rpm. Electric rpm drops drops before the gas engine. This Creates 2 extra steps. 5 speed gear box + hybrid engine set up.
Any engine yes. Electric and turbo Gas engine hybrid can also add extra stages as the rpm of each type drops out. Behaves like 2 extra gears. Remember don't gear too high. Below 240 is best for racing.
This is MUCH more compact than my design, I have direct drive from my engine going through a 6 speed and I don’t spin in first really but I did incorporate 4wd, the game tells me my top speed is over 600kph however my laptop isn’t powerful enough to run the game past 15-30fps so I haven’t gotten out of 3rd gear 😅
LOL. Update for above I forgot the Turbos and Capacitors. I also stage the engine with medium to small before the gearbox. It will drop marks in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. With a top speed of 240. You can win any race on that build.

Big thanks, took inspiration and made 8 shift transmission went from 150 Km/h to 520 km/h

I put a 6 speed transmission in the steam workshop. Check it out. It's named 6 Speed Transmission. I used planetary gears.
I am going to grab that. My turn to learn
@@GuardianOz you can flip around the planetary gears if the range is too high also.
I have been waiting for you to drop something helpful! :D
I just figured out a 3 speed that runs 102 acceleration and 285 top speed
Cool
Kmh or mph
@@superbt2027 mph
im glad i found this managed to get a 7 speed transmission going using gear shifters to pull the middle small gears out of place to prevent conflict
turbo and electric hybrid engine combo can also add 2 top end stages. Like 2 extra gears.
@@GuardianOz that would explain why the actually reachable top speed is higher than the games listed max top speed
The planetary has a diameter of 3 on two lengths and a diameter of 1 (even though it doesn't look it) on 1 length, though since you're using it as a reducer you would need 3 full lengths outside of the engine for it to work.
Thank you, I only have the Gear shift twos so I’ll see if I can make something similar with only the twos.
Great infos and fun. It actually sounded a little mean and angry.

good stuff. straight to the point. i like it. if you could turn your mic up thatd be grand

WHERES THE TURBOS?
Now that i found your build, its time to learn how to build a cleaner mechanism...because mine is a mess.
Great design, but just a quick tip, make the game a little less loud, i turned it up to hear you better, and then got a massive jumpscare once you where driving :D
Yeah total noob mistake on my end. I was keen to make a vid and did not check my set up.
how do you make a 7 speed?
On the build above I forgot the electric capacitors and the turbos for the gas engines. The seven "SPEED'S" are due to the drop off of rpm. Electric rpm drops drops before the gas engine. This Creates 2 extra steps. 5 speed gear box + hybrid engine set up.
Does this work for other engines? Or different shifting. Only got 2 stage shifter but want to make a gearbox.
Any engine yes. Electric and turbo Gas engine hybrid can also add extra stages as the rpm of each type drops out. Behaves like 2 extra gears.
Remember don't gear too high. Below 240 is best for racing.
I like this game but I just hate how big the gears are, you can't make anything compact
Yeah. That big gear on its own is 5 units across. you need 7 wide to build around it.
@@GuardianOz Which sucks when trying to make something look realistic or with good aero
It is still pretty damn good and cool for a free game. Especially a vehicle builder/racer.

благодарочка братан.
ad block is not working on this video so I'm going to look for a different one.
You realise thats how these creators get paid?

@@vallenshield4236 You dont pay for ads. Doesnt cost you anything. Yet you still watch their content...
I may have not watched the entire video but i drop a like and comment in hopes you can afford a better mic😅
Thanks for the mic heads up. Noob mistake.
