    I've noticed that since the update the radiator gets damaged EXTREMELY easy, perhaps make it a small bit stronger?

    I go up a small incline at 30 and it damages, not very realistic IMO.

    Have a nice day :D

    Radiators will be less fragile on the next update

    Please add a function to disable the radiator damage, like instead of "Heavy Duty Radiator" we can add a "No Thermo Radiator" option. Sometime we just want to focus on suspension without concerns of overheat.

    ^ Hell no. They will just improve it to usefull stage, I hope, and it will be ok. In D-15 and Roamer series it would be nice to have "extreme off-road cooling system" where you have radiator placed in another place for example on hood, and is way more efficient, made for rockcrawling or heavy duty offroad terrains.

    That's what you have in "ultimate car simulation" that's how it works, how many peoples have been screaming in past that cars are driving like on ice, while I can drive flawless without loosing grip at pretty high speeds (way higher than I'd try IRL), and it feels realistic (we just don't feel immersion so you have to realize what you actually do "manually"), there are still remaining things to improve, but it's pretty good at this moment. Some peoples have been saying that cars are way too soft, while I think they are even stronger than in real life. I've seen a lot of crashtests IRL and hundreds on youtube, I've crashed some scrapyard cars too, then I've done the same in BeamNG and it feels like BeamNG cars are a bit too strong. But realism is the reason why so many peoples loves this game, it's way a head of any other if we speak about physics and damage model. Things like "no thermo radiator" don't fit to this game - IMHO.

    Some cars like the Bolide and the Barstow are unbelieveibly hard to drive.
    --- Post updated ---
    They have serious trouble overheating with the ratiator. Is that going to be fixed?

    It takes practice to drive those cars. I can do it fairly well with a keyboard, not to brag or anything.
    They're very powerful and pretty old. Of course they will overheat on full throttle.

    IMO the barstow is the best handling and one of the easiest to drive(not so much the kingsnake or nightsnake) even with a keyboard, the bolide is a bit hard to drive though.
