This mountain is no joke, we might have to start thinking of doing some modding on the car...

@NBDesigns I think it is time to test your wheels.

Edit: Now I know why Kerbals look green . . .

Yeah, I tried to get him out halfway to deploy his chute, but I couldn't catch him.

This mountain is tough, we where not even 1/10th of the way . . .

I love to do this without modding, but that would be nearly impossible.

I'll give this a rest for now, I'm going to focus on flat ground races now, the Ikea ramp was a disaster (but fun) and won't come back (for now).

Whatever I do, it will be continued.

Maybe a Juno would be more effective at getting up the mountain. Rockets are nice and strong but far less efficient. 

Ya years ago I remember seeing a mountain crawler idea but can remember where I found it.

I need to test fuel consumption first, the small rockets are perfect, but use a lot of fuel.

Ya test the fuel consumption to thrust to weight ratio. The Juno might only give you .8 twr but if that were true you use two then you can fly up the mountain. 

Rotating the exhaust to point up and back say 1:30-2:30 on a clock would give you thrust to continue up the mountain and push the wheels back down on to the ground. Powered downforce

Not sure where to put this but hey think of the possibility of a future KSP that uses this scale of graphics

Working on some more cars, I'll try to record a lap later. I've also been playing with the looping, the TR wheels are not fast enough, we're gonna need moarrrr rockets.

I'll record that aswell.

Here are some pics from my new cars:

Not a race car, but a fun drive: ECTO II

I somehow can't place direct youtube links . . .

I like how this fuel tank looks like a spare wheel on this car.

I think you need to set them as "allow embed" or something when you upload and publish your video on YouTube.  IIRC it may be under the Advanced Options or something

I checked all the options and I can't see a problem, tried it again just now and it seems to work for the looping video, can't link the other one though, and that is not even my video but a link.

I don't know what's going on.
