Description
Here is the link to the newer version: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2672152841

FULLY VANILLA - Top Speed Peak: 147km/h

Since a lot of people requested a piston powered semi, here it is. Comes with the same drivetrain like in my pickup, but with a larger stroke, 10 speeds and duallies. It also has 4 wheel steering now, which helps a lot with maneuvering at low speeds and which is kinda necessary for a vehicle with this size.

Controls:
W/S - Speed Control
1 - Engines On/Off
2 - Main Lights
3 - Auxilary Lights
4 - Hazard Lights
5 - Radio
6 - Horn

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to use Speed Control:
You change the speeds with W/S and the default speed is reverse. The speeds after reverse are all forward speeds and the higher your speed, the faster you go.This truck has 10 speeds and important to know is that you cant start it at a high speed, since it will bumpstart into reverse, so put it in 4th speed or anything lower to get going and then increase your speeds to go faster. If it stalls or reverses while you drive dont worry, just restart it and it will be fine.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For people who dont know my stuff, this truck uses 2 engines, 1 in front and 1 in back with a total of 8 pistons and variable timing, aswell as a variable stroke. This gives it all wheel drive with direct drive and a ton of engine control and speed.

@K0wp3R it is actually available in my engine collection, but it doesnt come with the tune for this truck

and yeah, I test my stuff quite heavily. I added like 7 craftsbots and it was still able to move at an ok speed, but with 8 pistons that is a bit of a given (thx btw lol)

wow this guy isn't kidding when he says "heavy duty" i just slapped a lvl 3 concrete slab (basically filled the entire back with it) on it and it drive very well and still pretty fast (WHERE THE HELL CAN I GET THAT PISTON ENGINEEEEEE)

Wow this one is fast

Also 4 blocks are 1 meter
Kein Anderer  [author] 8 Apr, 2021 @ 5:02am 
@mummy pig No, I used a meter from a mod to measure speed. Its also only the peak it reached with 1 run, the average is usually ~10km/h lower, so thats why you might not have reached it.

when you measure the speed, do you use 6 blocks to be eqaul to a meter or 3 because this thing doesn't seem to go 142kmh.

Yea, more torque had to sacrifice speed but still, WOW. Definitely checking out the car.

@kadamio Thx a lot man, quite some work has gone into this engine design to get it to be that fast. The engines of this truck are kinda restricted tho, because I had to give it a larger stroke, so if youre after my most practical design, you should check out my awd car. That runs ~1000-1100rpm lol
Miobrot 6 Apr, 2021 @ 12:39pm 
Yo, just measuring the RPM it runs at... 720 rpm average! That is UNBELIEVABLE! Keep up the great work man.

I have spent at least 100 hours trying to develop a practical piston engine that could replace gas and electric engines, and I haven't even came close to what you have here. I am trying not to be jealous man lol. Bravo 10/10!
