    Ive found setting the rear diff to open seems to help alot with the dunekicker
    I originally wanted 4WD too but after i tried that i found the truck insanely fun to drive

    Might be a bit late to post this, just using untouched vanilla unlimited spec with the Torque Curve UI on, holy moly the Dunekicker puts out 885 HP at 6.75K RPM and 6.5L of displacement.... the tuning factor of the engine must be insane.

    885 HP = 6.75X6.5XTuning Factor
    Tuning Factor = 20?!

    I have never heard the term “tuning factor” before, sounds like a gimmick marketing strategy by some engine building or tuning company. It also doesn’t realistically make a lot of sense because a 3.25 liter engine with the same specs of the Dunekicker would have a 10 tuning factor, even though it’s got the exact same specs.

    Was “tuning factor” a term of your own creation? Google doesn’t have ANYTHING on the term aside from IT based stuff.

    What exists already a long time is HP per liter, which essentialy is the same just different wording.

    Yeah what's odd with this is that a higher tuning number represents a lower HP per liter, so you'd want your tuning number to be as low as possible.

    I did NOT come up with the "tuning factor" myself, look at the source.

    No, a higher tunning factor represents a higher horsepower per liter.

    And indeed, the bastion's engine is putting out over 100hp/l, naturally aspirated, with pushrods. Crazy

    Yeah over 100 hp/liter with less than 7000 RPM on peak power. For example a NA 720 hp LS7 has a max rpm of 8500 RPM, sheesh the Bastion is insane.

    Seems to me like this truck has a really low ground clearance. Any way to raise it so that it scrapes the ground less?

    I havent had time to play 0.30 yet but my friend told me they removed the quick ratio steering from the dunekicker
    Can anyone confirm that?
    Nvm his settings were just bugged

    This pipe? If yes, it leads to the gas tank, maybe it's a condensate outlet or something else, I confirm the other 2 problems
