Building drag cars is the number 1 thing I do in BeamNG but at this point it would probably be borderline impossible for me to do without mods😂I always use the wheels/tires and often a bunch of the other parts from Meo's Drag Pack as well as RK's Turbo Everything mod to get boost by gear. I also frequently use CJD parts like additional engine and transmission swaps. Props to you for getting all these cars that quick without any mods!
Thanks, I've made plenty use of the Turbo Everything and both MEO's mods as well and love them both too. With or without mods, I find its a fun challenge building the cars within certain restraints, like this series, full body, bumpers etc... Running without the mods in this sort of forces me to look at every detail a lot closer to find the last bits of performance when its not possible to just add more power or bump up the tire grip multiplier. Either way, it's a great fun, there's no wrong way to play this game 😁
Very pleasant video. Felt a lot like watching a hobbyist with real cars discussing drag times at a real strip. I don't sub to new TH-camrs often, but this video was just relaxing to watch. I think the choices of camera angles contribute heavily to the sense of realism.
@@shiftsandgiggles Nope. I had that config for probably at least a year. It’s a pretty damn good sleeper because most people don’t expect it to be that fast.
Lol I would love to but a couple of the cars barely make it to the finish line before the engine is smoking as it is. I'm not sure the Moonhawk would survive a burnout and a run
@@shiftsandgiggles just a psa though, it’s mostly faster than the older sequential transmissions. New cars I’ve found are still faster. You might be able to match with power shifting to the new ones but you have to aid the clutch by tapping it right after you press the shift button, I most play on an Xbox controller so it’s easier to do that but yeah if you hit any synchro damage during a pass it trashed the pass. Still much faster than older cars though.
@@spoolysnail32 Thanks, I'll give that a go, I play on a wheel and pedals so using the clutch is easy enough when I need it. The sequential transmissions I'll just power shift, seems to work.
you probobly already know this, but you can get the d-series to a 5 second mile with a rocket engine. which seems unrealistic, but there are drag semi trucks with jet engines, so it kinda works
I was aware of the Rocket Bus, haven't tried the D Series version yet. I've been lucky enough to see a a couple of the Jet Semi's IRL over the years, they're very cool. Apparently the trick to hitting speeds like they do is (besides the Jet engines) is shaving the DOT tires enough that the inertia doesn't rip them apart. The rockets are a different matter. Check out a man named Sammy Miller to see what a real rocket car can do.
This is awesome! How much would a rollcage effect times? I assume at sub 8 seconds they would all need one IRL? Also; with the new Jato tailgate for the D Series how would a jet truck fair? Might be interesting
I would guess with the extra weight, the cage would cost about .10 - .15 or so off performance. IRL I think its anything 9.99 or quicker in the 1/4 that require them. I wasn't aware of the new DSeries tail gate option, I'll have to check that out. I did close out a couple older videos with a pass from the Rocket Bus, it run pretty comparable to a TF Dragster, mid 4's, way over 300 mph, 0 chance at stopping it lol th-cam.com/video/aGxps6j3zJY/w-d-xo.html
hopefully soon we get to see the slower cars on the new list also the Moonhawk has an integrated front bumper fascia and a cover instead of the rear bumper (like the D-series you used) some factory configs use them so i think its legal
I plan to revisit all the cars one at a time with all the stuff I've learned over time so I will get some of the slower cars back out soon. I'm aware of the Moonhawk's fascia, since most of the other cars don't have that option, I elected to keep it with full bumpers. That's also why none of the cars are fitted with roll cages, since there isn't one for the chopped Burnside.
I've found the 4 speed automatic drag transmission to the best choice for the cars that it's available for so far. I don't think I've really tried the 'standard' automatics in the cars that don't if there was a manual option.
@@shiftsandgigglesonly if the torque converter doesn't suck and it may be because i don't understand the difference between stall because they seem indifferent
@@collinkaufman2316 As far as the 'stock' converters go, you'll see most of the difference on the starting line on the transbrake.The low stall converters will keep the rpm from building as much. Which one I use depends on the car and what works with the particular tuneup. When it comes to the higher horsepower modded cars, an adjustable converter is where much of the performance adjustablity is using the torque multipliers.
can you share the civetta scintilla config? I want to see how gar i can push it while keeping it at different varyiations of vanilla. Great video, Cheers!
Hi, thanks, I hope they're helpful. You can find the entire build and setup for the Scintilla in this video, th-cam.com/video/rRs74dZ1NVw/w-d-xo.html nothing's changed in the setup since then. I will be coming back to it soon. If I ever figure out a good way to post configs I'll consider that soon maybe as well.
Those are all listed in a previous video here th-cam.com/video/rRs74dZ1NVw/w-d-xo.html. The next video I'm working on will feature an updated version and I'll release the config files from that for download if I figure it out.
Short answer is I don't know. I assumed it was just a regular part, it seems to be in the inventory whether I have mods activated or not. Maybe its cab type specific or something.
Also what’s the deal with the bolide 15x10 rims on most drag cars, you can go for a much bigger setup or were you struggling either way doing uncontrolled wheelies?
I went with the lightest rims that worked with the least amount of tire I felt was needed. Any larger on most of the cars and they do wheelie too much. Some are on the brink of that as they are now still.
You can find the setup for the Scintilla in the Fastest Drag Car European video from a few months back, I haven't changed anything with it yet since then.
When I'm able to figure out how to set something like that up, I will. In the meantime, each of the cars were featured in earlier video and I do show both the setups and the entire list of parts used in those.
@@MatthewHarmon-qt8sq it's simply called 'Torque curve' and to figure out the weight, 'weight distribution' you just gotta add the 4 corner weights to get a total.
Why didn't you use the DCT transmission in the sbr and the Scintilla? They can handle a lot of hp and with launch control you can have much better launches.
The Scintilla doesn't really need launch control on the prepped strip. Launch control essentially cuts power to maintain grip, even with dumping the clutch at full rpm, I had to fit smaller rear slicks to prevent it from doing giant wheelies so grip is not an issue. I am working through each of the cars doing some retuning though, so I will have a look at the other transmissions choices when I get back to the Scintilla.
There is a series here on the channel that features modded versions of a lot of these cars. th-cam.com/video/F_JJqnTajvg/w-d-xo.html&pp=gAQBiAQB I'll be revisiting them again soon.
I'm aware, it's heavier than the car I used for this so not as quick. I do have a new Piccolina video that I am working on, I will feature the stretch version in that.
Although the sunburst was the slowest, that thing sounded INSANE. The whine is definitely the loudest I've heard in BeamNG so far.
Yeah I like that car a lot.
I'd say that its transmission is a bit too short. Apps you could save at least half a second on shifts alone. Going up to fourth is more than enough

The bx is capable of a 6.95
I’ve hit it aswell
I’ve hit a 6.913
How does one acomplish a 6.95 with a bx

Thank you very much, I appreciate that. You summed this all up pretty well 😄
Thanks for coming back to this👍
Your welcome, expect more to come.
Now I really want to try these configs!!! Awesome video!!!😮
Thank you, enjoy 😁
I've gotten the SBR4 to go 7.195. Instead of using the sequential, i think i used one of the DCT's
Interesting, wondering how I missed that, is that new with the latest update?
@@shiftsandgiggles Nope. I had that config for probably at least a year. It’s a pretty damn good sleeper because most people don’t expect it to be that fast.
@@zachshobbies8383 Thanks, I'll check that out.
well this is gonna be useful for beammp
Glad to help 😁
All beautiful builds🔥
great video. showcasing how amazing beamng is.❤
It impresses me every time I play 😁
I've gotten into 6's with covet
Wow, that's moving, I'll have to revisit the Covet again soon.
for muscle cars you should've done an burnout lol
Lol I would love to but a couple of the cars barely make it to the finish line before the engine is smoking as it is. I'm not sure the Moonhawk would survive a burnout and a run
@@shiftsandgiggles I recommend doing 2 takes by one take is for burnout and the other take were the drag
@@SpectBluewolf That I think I can do, I'll give that a go moving forward.
It's fun but beamng doesn't simulate tire temps at all yet so there's not really a ton of point to it other than for fun
If you turn off gear throttle assist and keep on clutch assist for manuals you can be faster than a sequential transmission with power shifting
Thanks, I'll have a look at that.
@@shiftsandgiggles just a psa though, it’s mostly faster than the older sequential transmissions. New cars I’ve found are still faster.

How do you get exact hp numbers? Is it a ui app?
Yes, called 'Tourque Curve'
Ah, ok thank you
How did you get a bucket seat for the Gavril D? I thought there's only a bench and a regular seat available without mods
Short answer is I don't know. I assumed it was just a regular part, it seems to be in the inventory whether I have mods activated or not. Maybe its cab type specific or something.
You swap to the regular seats then through that you can switch them.

Any larger on most of the cars and they do wheelie too much. Some are on the brink of that as they are now still.
Have you tried with longer final drive ratios? All of cars sound like they are shifting too much.
Yes, the issue there is the nitrous, the more RPM's the engine is running the more nitrous it will accept without blowing up.
you can run 7.0s in a bolide if you remove the tail cone support so you dont wheelie
Good video man
Glad you enjoyed

There's an in gam UI app that I turn on to monitor power levels as well as weight.
