Handling & mods
Stock handling summary, model flags, handling.meta flags, mod tips, and full numeric profile.
- AI handling profile
- AVERAGE
- How NPC traffic drives this model.
- Launch wheelspin
- 0
- Lower = cleaner hard launches; higher = more burnout.
- Aero drag
- 9
- Air resistance — lower often helps top speed.
- Downforce
- 0
- Spoiler/aero downforce from handling.meta.
- Brake bias (front)
- 0.6
- Front vs rear braking split.
- Ride height
- 0
- Stock suspension raise — clearance for off-road.
- Weapon damage taken
- 0.57
- Lower = tankier against bullets.
- Crash damage
- 0.2
- Lower = survives collisions better.
- Drivetrain
- AWD
- From GTACars / game data.
- Centre of mass
- x 0, y -0.1, z -0.1
- Lower Z can mean more stable; high Z increases flip risk.
- Inertia multiplier
- x 1, y 1, z 1
- Rotational resistance — affects how quickly the body rolls and yaws.
- Engine + turbo (LSC)
Engine upgrades and turbo improve acceleration on almost every land vehicle. Combine with transmission for faster gear changes.
- Armor plating (LSC)
Body armor reduces bullet and explosion damage. 100% armor dramatically increases survivability — essential for PvP and missions.
- Bulletproof tires (LSC)
Prevents tires from popping when shot — keeps you moving under fire. Pairs well with armor.
- Arena Scarab
Tank treads and mines — nearly immune to small arms from front; weak to RPG and air.
