Engine stages by class

The engine comes from the vehicle's class, so every vehicle in a class gets the same numbers. Each cell shows torque in Nm, then power in kW and top speed in km/h. Top speed is the speed limiter.

Suspension and air intake by vehicle

Suspension upgrades add the same travel to every vehicle: +8 cm at Level 2 and +16 cm at Level 3 over the stock travel below. Water Resistance moves the engine's air intake between three fixed points, and these sit at different heights on each vehicle.

Damage and repair

Only crashes cause damage, and Protection is the one upgrade that reduces it. Every vehicle has 100 health. Hits at 5 m/s (18 km/h) or slower do nothing. Faster hits start at 4.5 damage and add about 1 for each extra m/s, up to 28.5 at 30 m/s (108 km/h) and above. After a hit that does damage, more hits are ignored for 2 seconds.

Up to 70% damage the vehicle drives normally. Past that, top speed drops steadily to 50% and engine torque and throttle to 80% when damage is full. A fully damaged vehicle still drives.

Repairs: reaching the Mechanic, driving into any cabin or respawning at one restores full health. A repair kit also restores full health and can be used on a teammate nearby. The camp repairs part of the damage on every vehicle in the session. Restarting a challenge trail puts your damage and tools back to how they were when you started it.
