    I meant pushing it out of the snow every time the low ground clearance makes the car beach it self, or high center, I don't know how you say it in English.
    I actually never had problems starting it.

    Also calling the thing not a vary bad car is true, but also damning with faint praise. There are a lot of things to say it done better then the competition. Problem is the competition was the Romania made Ranault 12, a Polish made Fiat 1300/1500 with a different body a Soviet made Fiat 124, East German two stroke collection of rectangles called a car. and the Yugoslavian Zastava
    Out of that group Zastava wins and no one can argue otherwise, if they are honest.

    But the thing I will always say about the Skoda is. It was so bad it was exciting. You had fun driving it. It offered a lot of challenges.

    In that time it didn't matter, which car you had, People was glad, they had some, They waited about 10 years to get some new, or they paid more money to buy used in bad condition, but got it in real time, or maybe they gave a bribe to someone who holded waiting list. :D

    Will a limited slip differential be added? I could make some pretty fun drift/high power builds with one. (I am aware the real life 742s didn't have LSDs, not sure about aftermarket either, but cmon, it's a game:))

    Why not?
    Here You Go:


    IRL You can do with differential what You want if You have money, so it isn't so unrealistic.
    Have a nice day!

    Also one small question, just got onto the game and I can't find the diffs anywhere, where are they? I probably missed something

    That's a good question, go to:
    Body
    →Engine
    → Transmission
    →Rear differential
    Screenshot_2025-08-13-16-56-38-639_comgoogleandroidyoutube.jpg

    As You know, Car has no driveshaft, because engine is in the rear, so transmission goes right to the differential

    I've checked there, I still have the 3.9 etc open ones, I checked the "bad idea" config and there was no grille, rear seats or a differential that isn't open, am I missing a mod file or something?

    Turns out I also don't have the "160RS" engine option. (Edit: Images won't send for whatever reason)

    Try to move other shade zip files to another folder, so beamng won't see them, then try to clear catche. My version have only body from my videos. I know, there's some other shade, that have more variants and i would like to match it with my somehow, but i didn't get even answer from author of this files. So i'm working only with original version from atomix. Once I'll maybe blend another versions of this car but this won't be so soon.
    --- Post updated ---
    I'd like to know if it worked.

    Well, We found a solution:
    GHFTRBHJYGHYNJTT.png

    Problem: Mask and differentials won't show, also car doesen't render properly
    Reason: 2 coliding versions of mod.
    Solution: do exactly, what's on the picture and it should work.
    Have a great day everyone,
    And SUBSCRIBE!
