They used a hamster emoji for the teaser on Instagram. The thing is also not small at all, I mean, you can extrapolate the size based on the wheel being a 10-lug heavy-duty wheel. I feel pretty confident in guessing what it is, the question is why? Speculate away...
It could even be a Ferris Wheel, there's a smaller one that I see every year at my local fair that utilizes this type of system.
you guys are overthinnking it its a revamp of the hamster wheel prop in the official game and potentially its gonna be from what I can tell. electric and tire driven not magic driven at the center. I saw amusement park rides i was on as a kid driven by tires so.... this isnt a new thing to me I know what they are doing this time for that sneak peak. those amusement park rides had tires pressed against a surface that would rotate when the wheel turns and that would drive the machine. that would squeak very VERY loudly if it was wet. fun rides though but a pain in the butt to EMERGENCY STOP the rides if they are wet at all. like if someone throws up they slam the brakes and the rides inertia keeps it going for a WHILE but it does stop pretty fast despite ear blowing out tire squealing. I am looking forward to seeing the prop being used as an in game test bed for potential further tire updates maybe. this could very well be them putting the real world testing TO THE test in the digital world
Problem is why put such an upfit on the T-Series before putting a 2-story car platform upfit and trailer. If anything, the huge shocks already exist and they're used in the roller platform for moving it up and down, as does the PTO system with the hydraulic pump to move this upfit from inside the Semi's cab and the separate controls on the upfit to move it from the outside. Every addition is nice, don't get me wrong, I just feel like the car platform is a bit more important than the carnival ride and ferris wheel trailers. This is a car simulator, after all!
How about a Bluebuck thing, TO go with the rodent, OT, For real, Wonder what this thing is, is it related to a dyno? the start of a EV truck? Who knows
