What do you want to achieve?
It’s simple, I would like to find a way to limit the top speed of a car. I want it so that the car functions properly up until the limited top speed is reached. Then it would stay at that speed no matter how much throttle I put in. Other aspects of the car shouldn’t be affected. Besides, I would also like to have the working code as a plugin to the chassis, like this (circled area):
The chassis I’m currently using is A-Chassis Tune 6.52S2 by SecondLogic.
What is the issue?
I have never seen such function implemented on any car with this chassis, therefore I don’t really know how I’m supposed to do this.
What solutions have you tried so far?
I somehow found a post made by TwentyTwoPilots that gets me around 70% of what I want, here is my current code:
local car = script.Parent.Car.Value
local limitedSpeed = 160 -- limited speed in mph
local _Tune = require(car:FindFirstChild("A-Chassis Tune"))
local _GThrot = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Drive")._GThrot
function limit()
local HoldSpeed = car.DriveSeat.Velocity.Magnitude
if car.DriveSeat.Velocity.Magnitude < HoldSpeed and car.DriveSeat.Velocity.Magnitude < limitedSpeed then
_GThrot = math.min(((HoldSpeed - car.DriveSeat.Velocity.Magnitude) / 10) + (_Tune.IdleThrottle * 2), 0.75)
elseif car.DriveSeat.Velocity.Magnitude > HoldSpeed + 1 or car.DriveSeat.Velocity.Magnitude > limitedSpeed then
_GThrot = 0
end
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Wait()
_GThrot = 0
end
while true do
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Wait()
limit()
end
The only problem is that the variable _GThrot is in the Drive local script of the chassis, and I’m pretty sure the original code is supposed to be inserted in said script, which is what I don’t want. I am currently stuck on trying to properly get the _GThrot variable.
Any help is much appreciated, as this could be an essential part of my game’s cars.

You could try fiddling with the gear ratios in the transmission section of the tuning script. I successfully did that recently to limit the top speed of a bus I am building. Hopefully that helps.
I don’t think it possible to solve your issue without modifying the drive script. You can try replacing the drive script with this modified version of the drive script instead. I modified it so that the chassis can’t go past the VehicleSeat “MaxSpeed” property. Note that this is based on the VehicleSeat velocity magnitude, not the MPH shown on the A Chassis UI.
Hello, I just wanted to say thank you so much for making this possible. I always wanted my cars in my game have a limit to the speed - as their script is messy I cannot really understand most of it (LOL). When my game is finished I will be sure to credit you for the script!
Sorry to revive this topic… But I have found a easy way to do this. It works very well! Modify this to your liking.
-- Add this code in the Local Script named "Drive" or it will not work.
-- There's a while wait() loop so add this code there
-- If CurrentSpeed is more then MaxSpeed then
if (car.DriveSeat.Velocity.Magnitude > car.DriveSeat.MaxSpeed) then
-- Slow down the car
_GThrot = _Tune.IdleThrottle/500
else
-- Allow the car to speed up
_GThrot = 1
end
end
