Piston Heavy Duty Truck V2.1 AWD

Combined Peak Torque: ~11000Nm
Combined Peak Power: ~580hp

Revised version of my truck, using the drivetrain of my car with 16 pistons and 4 engines all tuned for increased torque to transport far heavier loads. The idea was to show the flexability of this drivetrain for different applications, aswell as the upsides of using a variable stroke for cargo transport.

W/S - Speed Control
1 - Lights
2 - Auxiliary Lights
3 - Hazard Lights
4 - Radio
5 - Horn

The most important thing to know is that you dont hold W and S down like in gas cars, with this you select a speed instead. W is used to move the speeds up and S to move them down. The shifting layout is PR12345678, the red needles angle on the dashboard indicates the selected speed and it spawns at default in park. Reverse is just after park and before all the forward speeds. The speeds table below explains them in depth further.

For anyone who doesnt know piston cars with advanced timing, the higher you go with speeds the more unreliable it gets. Make sure to only move up the speeds when you feel confident enough to do so, dont go into the higher speeds offroad or while youre turning and also make sure to not turn too sharply at higher speeds.

Usually I would have fitted some kind of a limiter to make it easier to judge it but that would have compromised handling or performance quite hard so this will have to do.


As Ive already said, this one uses the drivetrain of my car, literally lol. Uses 4 engines with each having 4 pistons coming together for a total of 16. All with 4 wheel steering and fully independent suspension, made to not buckle under super heavy loads. A big concern if you compare it to typical trucks with solid axle setups (including my old one lol). Otherwise its just tuned for a much larger stroke and a far lower top speed, which also comes with the benefit of much better reliability compared to the car.

Besides some smaller quality of life updates, the engines tune has been completely redone for increased torque, power and reliability. It also has been turned from a 9 speed to an 8 speed to allow me to increase the controllers speed for quicker response, without having the bug with the last speed where it doesnt stay engaged.

All the torque- and power numbers have been measured with my engine dyno, for those who wonder about that. Link below:
