overtorque overtorque OVERTORQUE!!!

I don't see why you're arguing with me? So you've acknowledged that it isn't entirely a simulation and is part game. All I ask for is a option to make engines invincible while not having to jump in and out of the code when i feel like changing that. Which you seem to have agreed with, so all that leaves you with is complaining about my title. Well it did its job, it was built to get attention to something i found oh so annoying, yes i know this is solved, some dude made a mod which im very thankful for. The game has arcade shiting so, partly arcade game?

 

^ There you go a mod that makes the engines not go boom ive put a 500kw shot in the k series and got up to 230 mph before running out of NOS

 

Go to the beamng folder, go to content, go to vehicles, find carname_engine.jbeam, open it.
Just copy a vanilla engine, put it in a new .jbeam file (I'm gonna assume you know where to place it as you implied you've modded the game before, but I'm happy to explain it if needed)
make sure to close al brackets and stuff and change maxTorque to a higher number.
It's really easy to change it. I've done it with a butload of engines.
