Fresh video! Sounds great. How long are these buses going to be in service you think?

[@Driver200]

Thank you! About 2-2.5 years still. :)

I saw this bus passing buy going to my bus stop lol 😂

[@ZGabbyLolz]

I've rode this bus allot of times and I would say it's fun. But I was wondering why is it that when it switches to second gear the bus just pushes my back lol. It's like in second gear it usually goes power mode or something. Can you explain why it does that?

[@rattiofficial]

The effect you described tends to happen when the torque converter locks in first gear and then it shifts into second locked still. Alternative is to start accelerating very slowly with minimum throttle input and wait while it shifts into second before locking the converter. This way it feels like a long first gear and the pulling motion doesn't happen. Though nobody usually does this since it requires technical understanding.

@@rattiofficial Oh. I was also wondering why some B12BLE buses have barely any turbo whining sound, mostly in the 8700 model. The 8700 has barely any turbo whine while the 8500 model has like a whining sound inside the bus. Do some people change the turbo?

[@rattiofficial]

@@ZGabbyLolz
Well turbo's are a wearable part after all. Sometimes they need changing as well. In my ears, there is turbo noises in 8700 models even if quieter. The 8500 exhaust layout tends to make it more audible and boomy.

@@rattiofficial I'm making a mod in a Game and im using d13k engine sounds. Do you know where I can get the DH12E sounds because I really wanted them so bad that I couldn't find them around the internet lol

If you are talking about my sound work for the B12BLE, nowhere. They are not finished, thus unavailable.
