Stickiness Is a Tuning Setting

Sticky Wheels consume Chemicals to generate their gripping surface. Increase stickiness only as far as the route requires; maximum grip can make steering, release, and transitions harder to control.

A wall-driving build needs more than special wheels. Keep the center of mass close to the surface, give every driven wheel reliable contact, and protect the chemical supply from impact.

Unlock, Craft, Test

  2. Craft each wheel from 20 Metal Block Level 2, 10 Beeswax, and 5 Chemicals.
  3. Test on a short clean wall at low engine power.
  4. Tune stickiness, steering, and weight before attempting an overhead transition.
