Is there a way to change engine torque?

trying to build an offroad car thing, I want it to be high-power but not high speed. Is this possible? Practical application is to climb obstacles.

    set the MaxAngularVelocity attribute on the powered wheels to your desired speed, this essentially limits the... well, it does exactly what it sounds like, really
    i believe the input is measured in km/h, but i havent checked lol


    make sure you set EVERY powered wheel, or you'll have weird wheelspin problems
    feel free to increase your horsepower, but extreme power can cause it to pop wheelies and such


    if you dont get your desired results, also feel free to take the code on my ZIL-157 engine, it tends to work better than MaxAngularVelocity limiting, but you'll have to download the ZIL yourself, i dont feel like opening sp to get it sorry

    Lower your power and raise the forward traction of your wheels
