Pickup Crawler and Prerunner - The modular Multi-Tool of the Desert

Will you use TTB axles? 4x4 and 4x2?

 

we already have that in ar162b's mod, so it will probably be independent. plus, most prerunners/trophy trucks have independent suspension.

Will it be a prerunner or a trophy truck

 

So you're asking if the Pickup Prerunner is going to be a Prerunner or a trophy truck?

 

It could be either one with the TTB axles @AR162B made for his D-Series mod. But for base game it would be Prerunner.

 

prerunners have nice seats, a generally nice interior, less power, and are heavier. race trucks are much more advanced, they have no nice interior, no doors, and are alot more powerful. prerunners are practical and sane, trophy trucks are extreme and can only be used as race trucks.

 

Pre-runner is a very open term, and often used by some people when talking about things like Class 8 racing trucks, which are essentially the predecessor to trophy trucks, with the big difference being that they ran stock chassis rails.

Trophy trucks weren't really mainstream back in the D-Series era, and a TT D-Series would 100% be a separate car.

 

IDK I like how it drives, oversteer is only a problem with bad throttle control, I presume it'd be easier with a manual transmission... Also laughs in dd1 and sadly only vr setup

 

@ferrettank What sorta engine are you going to be running in this vehicle? thats something we are thinking over is it going to be a standard 5.5L Gavril V8 or is it going to be something more special?

 

He said same engines as D series

 

Yeah I just spotted it and thanks!

 

is it in the game yet?

 

So yeah partly.

 

I want to yeet it through the sky like a missile. Will the suspension be better for jumps that what the d series already has in game?

In a barn? I thought they just did it in the mud

 

This looks awesome. Just when I think the D-Series is done getting parts and configs, here we are!

 

I'm not sure about the Bajarama setup, but the All-terrain variant had a tire pressure of like 11psi, when it should be more like 30 so the rims don't strike the ground. It also makes it spin slightly less.
So is there any indication this will handle better than the LKS?

Ehh. I took it to the test grid and tried to slalom through the pillars of the outer track at ~60mph. It shouldn't be hard for that truck to do, yet it consistently spun. Off the line or mashing the throttle having torque steer, sure. But a constant speed with a slight steering input shouldn't spin it. And that was after doing tuning to the best of my ability.

 

I've made a few changes to it for fun, and the main issue seems to be that it has too much anti-squat, keeping the rear from truly planting itself down. That's part of why I feel the Trackfab buggy is much easier to drive, even though it has a similar power to weight ratio.

But as he says, there are people in the team who are more knowledgeable than him when it comes to more advanced suspension stuff, so I'm pretty sure it's going to be much better than the LKS.

 

its not that easy to drive for me, it doesn't go in a straight line. even though it has awd, it still oversteers every time i give it throttle. The only problem with the prerunner is that when you go sideways, you roll. other than that it drives well. ar162b's ttb suspension is uncontrollable. its either that or the rest of my setup, the race suspension is slow, and it oversteers all the time. the best handling of these three is the lks prerunner.
