VRC Pro越野车游戏

SHORT COURSE TRUCKS

This has probably been the single most asked question: will there be off-road in VRC Pro? Yes, VRC Pro goes off-road, delivering on an old promise. The first class to feature in VRC Pro will be the immensely popular electric powered 1:10 scale 4WD Short Course Truck class. These cars are a good starting point into off-road, they are fun and exciting to drive (and fly…) and with the spectacular short course truck bodies they really look great on the off-road tracks. With this class VRC Pro caters for the typical basher as well as the typical racer.  A wide range of top-brand tires and special off-road motors will be available for the short course trucks.

 ‘Rake’, that’s the angle of the front suspension, had to be added to the suspension geometry as on-road cars don’t use rake. The VRC Pro development team has spent a lot of time on the ‘flight’ control of the truck to make the car respond on throttle and brake input exactly as with the real trucks, lifting the nose up with some extra throttle, or diving down by applying the brakes. The physics already supported this but a lot of fine tuning was needed to get it spot on. Also the drivetrain received a lot of attention because of the differentials, slipper clutches and clicker systems used in modern short course trucks.

Another area of attention was the dust being thrown up when the car drives on dirt. Dust consists of tiny particles thrown up by the tires and they eventually drop down and vanish again. To simulate dust a complete new particle system was built.

Short course trucks will be introduced July, so look out for it…
