your engine is impressive, but it's too large to be practical in the use of anything. Lethal here has modified and re-coded it to work at a more reasonable and realistic size. as you may or may not know, it is often MUCH HARDER to redesign and modify any complex piece of machinery/engine/gun/whatever than it is to build one from the ground up. I am not at all UNIMPRESSED with your engine, I just find it to be a bit large. and lethal has been building much more practical and useful engines for years.
for how long you have been on, I am very impressed with your work though! just keep practicing
Pure mechanical genuis, excellent simple scripting, awesome effect, ease of use. this is what EVERY SCENE on Algodoo that is uploaded to the box should be. 10/10
gluing it can cause difficulties in the long run, like gluing things together. it's a suspected cause of the "shifties", where objects start moving around, even if they are not manually moved (bug). and, it can cause undesirable lockups of mechanisms. fixating is much more precise, and is less likely to result in these errors from my experience
this engine had to be down-scaled to fit in the vehicle, and as such has a lot of lost torque. but as far as I can see, the torque provided is sufficient. Thanks for the feedback! I will see what i can do to add power
