Bad Piggies Road Hogs Level R-8 requires a time of under 20 seconds to earn 3 stars, or 50 seconds to earn 2 stars. The Road Hogs levels are pure time trials and, in general, are very challenging. A simple 3-box cart with suction-cup wheels is sufficient, though the trick is drop out of the sky at the second horizontal trip upside-down, falling down the gap to save time.

Build this:
Top row: Metal box with pig, metal box with V8 engine, suction cup wheel
Bottom row: Suction cup wheel
Activate double-engine-power power up and watch it fly. Got a time of 16.40
16.31 with 3 box device top row L to R pig, red engine, red engine; bottom row L to R, suction wheels, blank, suction wheels.
Worked first time!
I’m not sure it pays to take the short cut as in the video. I just left the engines on and took the long way round for a time of 15.11 s.
Same contraption as @mvnla2.
@f91jsw — I did take the route in the video. Don’t you have to cycle the engines on and off to avoid flying off the path? Maybe I don’t understand what you mean by the long way round?
@mvnla2, what I mean with the long route is that I didn’t fall down the gap as in the video. During the first half of the run I had to toggle the engines, but on the second half I just left them running and followed the ceiling/wall/ground around to the finish line.
Thanks for the tip @f91jsw ! This made earning 3-stars quick and easy; I got a time of 14.61 s. :)
13:02 recorded. Luck required.
Right before the gap jump is a part where you have to slow down and go up. I just kept going and my pig’s box snapped off the vehicle into the finish
Swap one of the V8s with the green motor. Makes it easier not to get flung off too early, although half the time you won’t make it up the first ramp.
12.75 is my best–went down the gap just the right way.
Now down to 12.46
i got 2.40s
