Description

The big wheel is a component that allows a build to accelerate forward/backward as well as turn and brake. It includes a configurable suspension and gearbox.

Usage

It can be configured through its configuration interface accessible via the V key.

Configuration Interface

It provides information about the wheel and allows for configuration.

Information

• Motor Rotation Speed: Motor rotation speed in rotations per second.
• Wheel Rotation Speed: Wheel rotation speed in rotations per second.
• Power: Power consumption in watts.
• Brake: Wheel braking value.
• Ground Speed: Wheel speed relative to the ground in m/s.
• Gear Ratio: Wheel speed ratio.

Configuration

• Reverse: Reverse the wheel's rotation direction.
• Grip: Adjusts the wheel's grip.
• Suspension: Adjusts the wheel's suspension.

Energy

The big wheel can only be powered by high voltage unlike the Wheel. It will consume up to 400 kW at full power.

• You can reverse the wheel's rotation direction from the configuration menu accessible with the V key. This also adjusts the model's orientation, including the tread pattern. This setting does not change the wheel's direction.
