Update Speculation thread

Exhibit A as to my theory of the mystery buggy being an SBR: I've matched the angle of an SBR body to make it fit, notice the position of the door bars, and the shape of the roof rails. (the second image is a GIF, click on it to see the comparison)

 

The SBR might get a buggy variant because of the updated engine textures the Flat4 got.

 

No, they're the usual Crawler tires, probably in their largest size, which is the 42in one.
There was an addition with the 0.26 though: the GripAll Screamer J52 tire got a 40in choice to go along with the original 38in one introduced in the 0.21 Update.

 

They are intercoolers, they must be there for any engine swap in the Piccobuggy.

 

DetectiveZoll!
Wow, it really fits the SBR shape.
Im stoked to see how this will come out.

 

I just discovered something: the SBR4s' Flat engines have their twin turbos on the back side, on either side of the rear bumper support (we can see the red air filter of each turbo). The picture you posted shows us the intercoolers being on the front. Just behind the two doors of the SBR4, there's a pair of boomerang-shaped fake side air inlets. Does this mean these fake side inlets are gonna be functional? Because that's what the placement of the intercoolers implies.

 

he speaks for many of us who think the same, i whouldn't have said it that way though
We still are not sure if the teaser is really a new map anyway

 

Just put the hex grille material on the body here, and the intercoolers line up good.

 

Yep, they line up really good. But for better air flow, the door and quarter panels need to be redesigned a bit for exposing the whole front surface of the intercoolers.

 

I don't know if it has already been discussed but might tires termals also mean tire pressure change in real time? I say so because it would make sense with the new off-road vehicles.
It might also be impossible to implement tho, idk

 

I Thought the SBR already had intercoolers, but I can't remember it now, but if it doesn't have, would be a nice addition for sure, the flat engines are one of my favorites from the game, these flat 4s in the Sunburst as well are awesome (thanks to modders)

Also, Sunburst need a rework ASAP, engine model looks so outdated compared to other ones, take the flat 4 and stuff it in there.

SBR needs more customization

 

It's not, TrackpadUser did it with his trackfab brawler and i think he's a dev now, so air pressure changes in real time are very possible

 

Tire pressure already changes a little bit in game, but not temperature dependent yet (I use the Scintilla GT3 mod and on the panel you can see it change around 1 PSI depending on what the car is doing)

 

The SBR definitely has intercoolers.

 

Thanks for the answer(s)

 

Yeah, I don't use it very often anymore and dont't remember and I'm at work and can't check it, thank you!

 

lets make bobbleheads collectible and hide them around the official maps with different themes
like a Monolith one, a lobster for ECUSA, a hirochi badge for the Hirochi raceway, etc etc

 

Thats honestly a prime idea!
Would give players a reason to drive around and explore all maps really carefully to find them.
I like it
