More powerful wheels?

Is there a way to give the stock wheels ( the small S2 in particular ) any more climbing power? Im having the hardest time getting just about anywhere with them. My usual practice is to mess with the wheel's cfg and up the crash tolerance and overspeed damage, but I cannot find anything for max wheel speed. All I can find is torque curve and that doesn't seem to do much of anything. Any tips?

PS: Would any changes to a cfg effect present crafts with the part?

My guess would be that it is controlled by torqueCurve. Though I don't like guessing, I don't see anyone else stepping up.

What sort of changes have you tried making to it?

Looking at it, the first number (the key) is probably a velocity value. The second number (the value) would be the torque. Ignore the 3rd and 4th digits. (2nd key only has 3; I forget if that's a problem. It might be actually; there should be 2 or 4 digits)


torqueCurve
{
key = 0 250 0 0
key = 20 100 0
key = 30 14 0 0
key = 34 0 0 0
}

So at speed 0 it has torque 250. (that's going to be its maximum)

As it goes faster and faster its available torque is dropping until finally at speed 34 it has no torque. In practice it would never actually reach a speed of 34, so you would want the final key to be higher than the maximum speed you want to attain.

I just tried splicing in the ruggedized wheel's curve to see if I can get the S2s to act as such. No luck. But thank you Starwaster that gives me some stuff to play with.

Something I just realized.. This particular rover has negative camber set on its wheels ( the wheels are tilted outward slightly ) to give the rover more cornrring stability ( and it really works ) But when going straight not all of the wheels surface is flat on the ground so.. could that maybe explain my traction issues?

What do others experience with the small S2 wheels? Has anyone else had traction issues in the past with them?
