Are pocket racers rigged?

[Dr. Death]

Simple question, i've noticed that a lot of times i fail or have weird issues, like my car being awfully slow, or stopping in the middle of the track, or doing weird flips or jumping out of bounds regardless of what i try. Are the physics wonky at 60 FPS or what's going on?

Nope but if you change the tires it changes way more things that you may think
+ there are map with grass and if you don't use the tires for grass your car will be really slow

Really? so the trick is more often than not in the tires?

Theres a guide of which parts to put together for each race, so yes in a way its rigged as with a specific build will equal you winning everytime

some matches are rigged, but if u follow the guide showing the specific build for each matches, ur gud to go

Don't use the boost ever
If your car stops in the middle it lacks power to go upslope
If it jumps out of bounds your tires lack grip

etc, etc

it stopped in the middle on a level road.

It can get stuck on grass roads, turns and also just losing too much energy going uphill. Just because the road turns level doesn't mean it can go after that.

Middle of a normal straight road.

If your motor lacks energy it is possible to run out of power halfway, especially if you are running long/difficult tracks.

Again - there is no problem with the pocket race. Tens of thousands of people have played it with no issues, yours is the first thread ever that claims there is one.

But hey, if you are already convinced you are right, what can I say?

there are 3 different batteries. you should always pick up those up which fit the track.

But there is nothing difficult about the whole pocket racers thing, it's important that you don't get baited by some slight RNG differentiation in a race.

The same car setup can lead to different results due random factors you can not control, so always try your setup multiply times before changing stuff, especially if you believe your setup is good enough.

Listen dude im just telling you the situation i had, if you dont believe me you're free not to.
The car just started then slowed down and got stuck right after starting, dont remember what parts i had.

I beat all races without ever using boost.

And I'm saying this is because your parts are insufficient for the track. What's so hard to get?
You keep trying to convince me it's because the game is bugged or something.

The only time I ever use the boost is when I have mostly straight track for a while AND the loops.

If your car can make it around the track boosting without flying off, it's not fast enough. But those loops take a good chunk of time for what is more or less straight track.

Don't look at the guide, it's not fun like that, just try different builds. Only the last one is difficult
