local costmap empty using move_base_node

edit

Hi,

I'm using move_base_node in stage, and I've found that local costmap is empty. In this picture from rviz I can see that global costmap is fine but local costmap (the small square) is empty. The red dots are the laser scans from robot (green footprint) with which the local costmap should be generated. Is something wrong with this? Because although of this I can set goals and the robot can reach them.

EDIT 1:

Although the robot can reach the goals, it does it at a very low speed, even if I increase the value of max_vel_x parameter of local_planner. I don't know if this happens due to the lack of local_costmap.

EDIT 2:

If I change

local_costmap:
      observation_sources: base_scan
      base_scan: {
        topic: /car_0/base_scan
...

for

local_costmap:
          observation_sources: base_scan
          base_scan: {
            topic: /base_0/base_scan
    ...

where /base_0/base_scan is another LaserScan topic, some black areas start to appear in local_costmap until origin of sensor its outside it.

EDIT 3:

This is my TF tree; base_* are "robots" on each corner of the intersection; I say "robots" because I use them as static lasers. And car_* are robots navigating as vehicles, in this case car_0 is the green polygon.

Here are the parameters I use:
