Electric Motor Engine

Description
There are both Engine and Transmission on this
Named as "Electric Engine 500" and the Transmission as "Electric500 Trans"
For the best experience, use both of these as these two do not work properly as intended without the other one

As for the naming, I've only put 500 on the title as I can't think of any other name, I do plan on changing this in the future and tuning this more to not feel so OP compared to other engines and also as an electric motor

The transmission is played best with Sequential

You should have

R - Reverse
N - Neutral
C - Crawl
D - Drive

Preferably, you should always go Drive at almost all scenarios, the only time you will go C is when D can no longer go (well, I made this powerful enough to pull any kind of trailer unless you put like a 100 ton trailer mod, then that's the only time you will only use C)

Also do note that this mod is created specifically just for me to use and only decided to share it with other people cause why not so I will most likely not gonna do anything if you encounter any problems on this mod on your end.

Some questions that might be asked
Q: Why is the rpm isn't so high, aren't electric motors supposedly to have very high rpm?
- That's because the game does not like high RPM, if I put high RPM, you'd be running out of fuel before reaching a distance of 40 Km, that's why the solution I made was to increase the torque super high while having the Transmission I created is to tone down its extremely high torque


May 02, 2024:
- Updated to have more engine options
- Much better engine configurations

- New naming: Engines & Transmissions have "Neon" on their name, go find that

Issues:
- Still need extensive testing of the transmission, the engine is fine(mostly) but Transmission is still painful to work with
- Still haven't got the time to implement a proper electric sound for the engine
- The reverse is somewhat fixed(since it reverses too fast), but it has insane(like an ungodly amount) amount of torque

ONLY thing i see needs too change is the selector from D to drive, You have it set for D low range or craw...l D for normal driving Change D to C for crawl and D for drive So you can tell the difference between Crawl and Drive Other than that LIKE your MOD works great !!!
