0 -VOYVODA- Posted November 7, 2017 Report Posted November 7, 2017 For top speed you need 4×2 chassis and 12 gearbox mate . scania is fastest truck with Volvo can have 170 kmh max speed I think 1 İVECO'S
0 T.Rucker Posted November 7, 2017 Report Posted November 7, 2017 Dear @ROBOCOP_BLR , please let us know if you are satisfied with the answers given above. At this point i would just like to add that it is ok if you are approaching higher speeds than the speed limits, but please ensure that you don't take this to an excessive level. Always keep at the back of your head that you are not alone on the streets of TMP and try to watch out for other truckers. Just respect your fellow players the way you want them to respect yourself as well in return, so please stay safe on the roads. 1 1 1 Visit us on stvtc.co.uk or join our Discord-channel
0 ·· PikaiModx ·· Posted November 7, 2017 Report Posted November 7, 2017 I use 8x2 because I always carry heavy loads 1
0 Guest Posted November 7, 2017 Report Posted November 7, 2017 Players generally use the 4x2 chassis type. For gravity tonnage, 6x2 / 4 chassis type is usually used. Normally you can use 6x2 / 4 instead of 4x2 but there is a negative side like this: The fuel tank is much smaller than the 4x2 chassis type.
0 ROBOCOP_BLR Posted November 7, 2017 Author Report Posted November 7, 2017 Hello. Thank you all but what about TRANSMISSION? I found what i have ~167km/h with ATO3512F+ASO even with ANY CHASSIS. Maybe you can advice me better transmission? Is retarder affect on top speed or no?

For Scania upgrade and does it work in MP?

0 ROBOCOP_BLR Posted November 8, 2017 Author Report Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) DLC - Mighty Griffin Tuning Pack has new engine or only tunning pack? If no, why Scania faster if it has only 730hp engine? Edited November 8, 2017 by ROBOCOP_BLR
0 T.Rucker Posted November 9, 2017 Report Posted November 9, 2017 The Mighty Griffin DLC only gives you visual upgrades for your truck, there's no engine upgrades, improved power or something similar. And the top speed of a vehicle is not just depending from it's engine power output. Or do you think that a 730 horsepower Scania can outrun a Ferrari 488, despite having more horsepower? It's not as simple as that, the maximum speed depends from the setup of the transmission as well, some trucks have rather short gear ratios that can produce them a higher power output for every gear, but restricts the top speed significantly, some others have longer top gear ratios which isn't good for accelerating in those gears, but allows them to travel at a higher top speed. All in all you shouldn't just look at the power output of an engine to determine it's actual performance...
