Are you getting a structural failure at ~1500m/s? I think Scott Manley did a polar land speed record attempt like this a while back and found that above certain speeds you're going so fast the game doesn't have time to check if you're clipping into the ground or not, which causes you to phase into it for a brief moment until it performs the check, ending in explosions.
You are exactly right except it isn't really a structural failure. Well, once you clip through the surface, effectively colliding at 1500 m/s, it becomes a structural failure =0
I love how it went from a " Testing high speed rovers " To a " big as fuck enormous 400 ton spaceship that lands on the northpole and goes 1 km / hour :) '
meanwhile here i was with [only] 800 m/s on the runway with 4 vectors. *slow clap* EDIT:wow, I sounded like a jerk in this comment. but seriously, well done. what you lack in efficiency, you more than make up for in sheer insanity.
Val: I want it to go fast. *Reaches 845m/s. Val: No, faster. *Reaches 1367.5m/s on first run at north pole. Val: NO, FASTER. *Reaches 1420.6m/s. VaL: No, fAStR!!!!!!!!!!!! *Reaches 1539.8m/s. Robotug: No. Fastest. *Reaches 1540.4m/s. *Robotug exited the match*
Rapiers are kind of most efficient engine if not counting goliath,at 1000 m/s its efficiency is crazy because you can maitain the speed with 10/20% of the thrust
I... I think I'll send a boquet of commemorative booster stages for that car. ;.; I think Robotug's run counts as confirmation. On Earth, land speed record cars have to do their run twice, in opposite directions.
I don't mean to make your achievement look small, but if you were indeed going for the world record in all of KSP and not just your Kerbal Krumpf world then Tekist beat you by about 60m/s. Maybe a target to beat if you ever were to try again ;) Anyway I loved the video and I much prefer the 'Kerbal' approach to this task.
The game physics don't detect collision at that speed, and as a result I am extremely skeptical that stock physics were used. His aerodynamics don't seem to be stock as well.
No one hit 1700 m/s. If you are curious how I know this with such certainty, it is because the game doesn't detect surface collision past 1500 m/s properly. That and I looked into other land speed record attempts before making this video.
I like how every time I attempt this I hit 1000 miles and my plans landing gear strip off and I hurdle into a piece of door biting satellite btw I wanna see you attempt a satellite that goes three orbits then then returns naturally but like I said it always goes bad for me but I have broke you’re record I made a Apollo rocket strapped some other really big engines to it and hit 2000 meter per sec and then it flew way high up and slammed back down into the vab
But you can clearly see in the top left corner that time is sped up...lol... so like...why is he claiming it makes shit faster when he is manipulating the video playback.
This seems like a study of KSP rather than watching someone play it. I like it.
instablaster.
Her vehicle crashed and exploded into shrapnel at over 3400mph.
That's like Mach 4.5...
And she survived. Holy shit.
Yonkage the green KER text said 4,8 mach
I made a cannon that shoots kerbals at mach 66, it has to be fired in vacuum though, one lick of atmosphere and they explode.
Try Mach 7
I once reached a speed of mach 3.5 in air with 1 rapier
ShadowMC2 not really hard
Now drive it on Gilly.
Oh wait, it's the size of Gilly
/s.
DO IT ANYWAYS
Let gilly drive on the car
Escape velocity: reached. (But it's gilly so that isn't very hard)

Bradley Whistance you know you can set braking power to 200 right?
Nvm
I'm pretty sure that the problem is, that the ground does not load fast enough in front of you, and you fall trough it
Is it possible to change settings or install mods that make the physics calculations happen in smaller steps?
When attaining Danny2462 levels of batshit insanity is not enough...
imagine roving so fast that the ground curving is a big enough bump to thwart your speed records
11:36 Rest in Pineapples Val...
11:44 Holy ****** She's Alive!
YOU SPOILED IT.. I HATE YOU
bads confirmed
Water speed record next?

"odyssey by not bill"
That was one cool craft!

Per second, not per hour, mate.
Jup sorry ;P
@@xSy7 r u going to fix it,4 years later?
I am puzzled by the lack of nose cones
Snoop droop
E The snoot... droops!
Reminds me of when they actually made you go slower. That can’t be the case anymore, though, maybe it’s something to do with heating?
2:20 The landing gears are left standing vertically, like flamingos! ^_^
When you hear Brahms' Tragic Overture playing, you know a few crashes are coming...
That design shakes a lot... looks like it's on thin ice..
Bdm tsh!
2:16 Anyone know what that is?
The Fireflash from Thunderbirds!
Did you call it "1539" to give it a better shot at survival? xD
Man I loved that story it was awesome and insanely funny.
Just rewatched this vid, still love it
i don't know why enjoy this series so much
What if you did a high speed approach of the minimus flats and briefly touch the wheels to the surface? Would that count?
meanwhile here i was with [only] 800 m/s on the runway with 4 vectors.
*slow clap*
EDIT:wow, I sounded like a jerk in this comment. but seriously, well done. what you lack in efficiency, you more than make up for in sheer insanity.
I love the music in your videos.
Why does the craft have no nose cones?
I wondered that too, but then I saw that they were turned around, utilizing an aerodynamics glitch.
you could go faster if you widen front two wheels and kept them cool. add radiators? better wheels? and always more struts!
I like the Python-esque humor
WOW, great video as always, keep up the good work
And this ladies and gentlemen,is when the ssto was born.
I love how in 11:32 you can see minimus in the sky
Noice
Wait for the Kerbhound LSR!
I gasped at the ending, what is going to happen next for the KSC! :o
Love these vids keep up the good work❤️
Stratz: Hold my Separatons
valentina's eyes after surviving a crash at 1500 m/s is great
Can you make suborbital jump on Duna using wheels and engines?
Why did the polar ice caps look like the void?
*racist joke inbound* Because they're WHITE!
_(:3」z)_
Amazing Work!
May I ask what you think of Stratzenblitz75's Speed record of 3465 m/s? As his craft seems to be fully stock and it accelerates well past 1500 m/s.
I made several follow up videos after this one once we figured out how to avoid this issue.
Oooh, I have an idea! Throw Krumpf into the sun!
shiit man that shit be crazy plane yo
Why not use the Mainsail engine(s)?
When can we see the baby
Please upload the ships to something where we can download them :)
5:15 i like that pun
*claps, really impressed
Val: I want it to go fast.
*Reaches 845m/s.
Val: No, faster.

5:07 duh duh duh Dada duh!
This series is actually comparable to the odessy by Homer
Rapiers are kind of most efficient engine if not counting goliath,at 1000 m/s its efficiency is crazy because you can maitain the speed with 10/20% of the thrust
A rather safe and sad use of lithobraking :(
I... I think I'll send a boquet of commemorative booster stages for that car. ;.;
I think Robotug's run counts as confirmation. On Earth, land speed record cars have to do their run twice, in opposite directions.

GASGASGAS!!!
Doesn't the car have to be intact to count as the record? If not then congrats if yes then it's kind of insulting
The craft usually managed to slow down without breaking. In any case, both myself and Stratzenblitz have gone a lot faster since this video.
What about having the ksc under attack
This is either a meme or a lack of imagination.
Or both.
Go watch one of the many, many KSP series in which the KSC is under attack.
What if it's under attack by crushing existential dread?
5:10 glacial... I see what you did there...
I don't mean to make your achievement look small, but if you were indeed going for the world record in all of KSP and not just your Kerbal Krumpf world then Tekist beat you by about 60m/s. Maybe a target to beat if you ever were to try again ;)

Fake records!
The game physics don't detect collision at that speed, and as a result I am extremely skeptical that stock physics were used. His aerodynamics don't seem to be stock as well.
Amazing man.. But.. Il see if anybody else can beat that
This reminded me of Wes Anderson.
7:35 ‘crusing speed’😂🤣
do you think you could hit 2000m/s? Cuz someone hit 1700m/s before
No one hit 1700 m/s. If you are curious how I know this with such certainty, it is because the game doesn't detect surface collision past 1500 m/s properly. That and I looked into other land speed record attempts before making this video.
But what about Tekist video /watch?v=PzpL3Wei9e0 He got 1605 m/s!
Being as the game doesn't detect collision at that speed, I am extremely skeptical.
Try getting to escape velocity on a 5 stage kickback plane
Take it to minmus and do it, you will reach something absurd like 3000-3500 m/s
You would fly off of the surface, and even if you broke the laws of physics and didn't there probably wouldn't be enough room to accelerate
ayy
I like how every time I attempt this I hit 1000 miles and my plans landing gear strip off and I hurdle into a piece of door biting satellite btw I wanna see you attempt a satellite that goes three orbits then then returns naturally but like I said it always goes bad for me but I have broke you’re record I made a Apollo rocket strapped some other really big engines to it and hit 2000 meter per sec and then it flew way high up and slammed back down into the vab
you should try making the largest plane powered by the smallest jet engine. (1)
No ground effect mod for land speed record....

so many exposed nodes at the front...
Is this even a car anymore?!?!
8:09
So a musk reference here doesn't work as well, but.. Dude.
o and y u no put dis on another planet? I pay to see!
The irl land speed record is something like 340m/s
341.4 i think
I think you forgot to add Airbrakes.
And you could just add Fairings.
O shit wut
YOU FOOL! YOU WILL NEVER BEAT STRATZENBLITZ's RECORD OF 3000 m/s !!!!! >:D
Ahhh, only a successful run with craft intact counts to a speed record.
shoot that crazy vehicule.
But you can clearly see in the top left corner that time is sped up...lol...
so like...why is he claiming it makes shit faster when he is manipulating the video playback.
I don't see the point here
Thog dont caare
I intend to beat this somehow... using the power of the kraken to my advantage...
edit: (oh and your other attempts too)
Stratzenblitz is about 3km/s ahead. You can do better!
Check the date on the video

That's how fast I seks.
just another day in russia nothing to see here move on
I can probablly do better
With cheats...
this is not stock
you have kerbal engineet
KER doesn't count bcs stock in this case means stock parts. And since you can rebuild this 1:1 in unmodded ksp he conciders it to be stock
it was sarcasm
tasty echos then sry didnt realize that
i forget sometimes that sarcasm doesnt transmit with the message
lol but thanks for trying to help
