Description
This is a new remote control glitch of 2019!

Instructions
  • To detach the car place any block on the red bearing, then use the seat to control it.
  • To put your own creations on it remove the car from the white pipe. Leave the white bearings.

Use it, copy it, change it, share it in the workshop or anywhere else freely. No need to credit me!

Also don't forget to check David Baguetta's remote control tank here!

Special thanks to
AlexRedCat for showing how he found the glitch and David Baguetta for helping me automate it!

How does it work?
Suspension, pistons, and bearings have very different practical functions in the game. What they have in common is that they split creations into multiple ones so they can move independently from each other. Those individual creations are in the code separated as groups.

Bearings, suspension, and pistons have a start point and an end point called A and B, which link groups together by referring to blocks located in those groups. However, whenever you only place one of those down without connecting anything to them they will only have an A point. Logically, putting a block on the other end will create the B point. This is where the crux begins.

As it appears, the game will always allow the player to put another block on the B point of a bearing, suspension or piston. The only thing naturally preventing you from doing that is when that space is already occupied. But, if you can move that B block one block aside, which you only can by editing the blueprint file's code, you open up the space to put another block on that bearing, suspension or piston effectively overwriting the older B reference with another block. A mechanic which normally isn't possible and doesn't check if links between groups have been broken in the process.

yea thats right because if you shoot something(break for i.e cardboard) it updates the whole creation which leads the game to correct anything "strange"
