dude for real the 11 second run I had was some kinda fluke cause i cant beat 14 now. What happened was a little peice of straight bar that wasnt attached to anything fell off as soon as I hit go and the screen focused on that but i went ahead and dropped the coconuts and went anyway totally blind balls to the walls, then the screen popped up 11 sec 15/15 100%. I wish i could have seen it because i feel like it was a glitch or something

This shit is addictive. A 10 second run is proving almost impossible. Right now, I've got a cart that hits 12's about 66% of the time, and 11's 33% of the time. Back to the drawing board. Oh, and 15/15 100% of coarse. :)

In the tens, baby! Designed a new cart from scratch. Big wheels and proper weight distribution are key.

I suck at this game. I can't beat either 22 seconds with loosing some coconuts or about 30 seconds without loosing any. Meh.

I decided to try a new truck design. I am satisfied with the results. :) I am gonna try and tweak the design some more for more stable load distribution, as this design relies on the cargo staying in the rear of the vehicle when airborne, allowing me to do away with the ballast I had in the rear of my previous 10 second design. Getting rid of that weight, and it's requisite beefier suspension, is probably what got me to 9 seconds. Maybe I do need to beef up the frons suspension a bit more though, as you can see in the "action shot" that the front wheel is bottoming out. If that happened earlier in the run, it could cause problems.

I really doubt that it will be possible to get any faster than 9 seconds though. Maybe they'll call me up and offer me a job now, eh? ;)

I've got about 4 or 5 different ones that have done 11's and a few in the 10's but that's the only one to do 9's at 100%. I've been working on one for 8's, but it's tough. I can finish the run in 8, but not w/o losing a few nuts. Gives me something to work on in my downtime come Monday. :)

What is the trouble you are having? no enough speed? trouble with terrain? or nuts falling out?

how many shock absorbers are you using? how much clearance from the tire to the truck? clearance from the truck to the ground? screen shot?
