Title: Useful Glitch
Post by: Urjak on May 06, 2009, 07:56:53 PM: While building my newest BW, I accidently discovered a quite useful glitch. People have probably already used this glitch, but I had never heard of it so here it goes:

First off, attach a motor. Then, attack a very light extender of some sort which other compoents can attach to like so:

Then, wire your motor to a button or switch and make sure it has adequate battery power.

Now, spin you motor up to full speed. Then switch to another tab so the motor stops (while still retaining its speed). Then, attach a 60 kg sledgehammer like so:

Now, quickly spin the motor again and quickly switch tabs. The axle should have left its socket and be floating outside the motor like so:

Now, you can remove the sledgehammer and extender, and attach components to the motor without the chassis colision mesh to screw you up. An example of this would be a backlash disk, which do not like intersecting the chassis:

Then, you simply spin the motor again and the axle will return to its normal position.

For DSL, which the realistic rule applies, I find this glitch works best with componets that won't attach when they intersect the chassis, which is usually possible to do IRL.

Well... hope you found this useful.

Cool anyway.

Urjak that IS the axle loading.

Post by: Urjak on May 07, 2009, 08:33:34 AM: It doesn't look like the regualar Axle loading glitch. It has similar effects perhaps, but this is using the weight of the sledgehammer to and the imbalance it causes to litterally make the axle force itself out of the motor. I have never seen the axle loading glitch done like this before, but I don't play stock much so Naryar, your probably right.

Just though I had actually found something useful, oh well.

Post by: Hydro on May 07, 2009, 10:45:20 AM: looks easier, though.

Post by: roboman2444 on May 07, 2009, 11:21:50 AM: definitely easier

Post by: roboman2444 on May 07, 2009, 01:55:09 PM: yes i took me a lot of time to stack my first black

It seems to be different depending on where the first battery is. I spent 90 minutes trying to make a chassis that could house stacked black batts (Big Flip's Revenge, actually) and eventually I just managed to fit both batts in in a matter of seconds.

Then it pretty much never worked after that.

Post by: roboman2444 on May 08, 2009, 08:05:25 PM: yes same with me
the first time the battery was too close to the edge of the chassis. now i give a slight bit of room around the first black to stack another.
