This was, as usual, quite fun to watch! I have been trying to work out a soapbox challenge for us in the discord. The problem--well the biggest problem--has been that because I want to make it a down hill time trial getting the car to start rolling from the Beam starting points doesn't work. At least all of the in game starting points are level. My initial ideas was to run Pikes Peak from top to bottom and just yank the engine in the cars before starting. I have looked at all the various possible courses and they all have level starting points. I'm not giving up on this idea but have started to try to figure out the mission editor in Beam so I can make a custom course that I can also share with any potential competitors. That is taking me longer than I hoped it would. :( I personally love weird builds like this and, in general, cars way, wat out of the ordinary. The sound was good with the addition of your sock.
Not long before I left I was planning a soapbox challenge I had the idea to use the hill climb section of the Automation map. The ice section near the top makes it interesting. I think I was going to do it like a toy car challenge.
He has joined me in making silly goofy soapbox/downhill derby cars. I have a 5 horsepower 3 lb*ft engine that I put in mine that rev limits to 2.7k, it gives it just enough to go up a hill around walking speed. I have one that looks like an actual box and one that is just a 50's microcar. I like the idea of a lower power showcase though, definitely gonna want a short course though
Hey! love this lil soapbox. such a cutie. Probably weighs just like an actual shoe. But, for the hillclimb...what about making it look like a stratos? Like, similar enough shape
@@automotiveflux Yeah I did it on whim and it came up with a pretty interesting car. I ended up with a desil boxer 4 in a sports coupe. Just throwing ideas out!
I have a strange idea, but hear me out. It’s an EV hill climb car, but the model year is 1957, and it’s a big American car with a 2.8m wheelbase or longer.
22;00 "i love seeing the quad superchargers that dont do anything" even with a working engine, you didn't give them any intakes to get air from (this is a plea from me as the mod maker, i did modular part packs and people dont complete them right T.T)

Also I changed my mic a bit for this video and I'm wondering what you think

Yeah custom course is the way to go

Have you tried placing ramps at the starting line?
@@dr_vendetta8361 I have not. That is worth trying. Thanks for the suggestion!
could you drive in a normal car and then switch to the soapbox car when you are at a slope?
4:20 subtlety one of the funniest moments in this channels history

wait... hold up, daughter? congrats
(also very possible you already gave the news and i just forgot, but very happy news anyways)
Yeah I've mentioned it in passing, my daughter will be born in July :) don't be surprised if I take a few weeks off haha
@@automotiveflux oh pls do, take care of your daughter, enjoy the experience, we'll be here when you come back
@@automotiveflux Congrats Mr. Flux! that's amazing news! Like Elios said, take all the time you need.
Perfectly fitting for Earth day, huh?
Although I still using Harry's shaver.
I had no idea it was earth day haha
earth day? wut
250ccm or 10hp Showcase would be awesome!
or maybe 500cc 25 hp, you can't really do much with 10 hp
@@meehdrescher would be cool too, my first 10 hp try drivs max. 122 kmh and flips if you turn too much because its so light
Happy 420
Ive been watching this channel religiously ngl

Yes electric hillclimb like Hammond with the Rimac 🤣
the sock helped a bit, a little less annoying to listen to
Can you do a chatGPT build? I know you'll be able to give it some creative twist!
Like what? Give it a prompt and see what it says to build?
@@automotiveflux imma vote for a drift car... or maybe a drift truck could be more interesting
@@automotiveflux Yeah I did it on whim and it came up with a pretty interesting car. I ended up with a desil boxer 4 in a sports coupe. Just throwing ideas out!
Nice build
I have a strange idea, but hear me out. It’s an EV hill climb car, but the model year is 1957, and it’s a big American car with a 2.8m wheelbase or longer.
EV in 1957 would be terrible
@@automotiveflux I should’ve specified the body as 57 and the powerplant itself being 2020 my bad. A 50s EV wouldn’t make it up, let alone quickly lol
You should check out the game Zeepkist.
There is a Hansom man under that beard who knew
Beards can make or break a man
To me electric vehicles are way louder than especially gasoline cars

Pls make a 50's f1 car!!!
Mashed potatoes
Are good
