      That is insanity in general. From what i checked on the internet really quickly(take this with a grain of salt), not even rockets or jets have this kind of TWR. Like even Air-to-Air rocket has less(1,2) TWR that this. So i would say that calling it insanity is maybe and understatement.

    Something too think about is that the farther back you have your center of pressure the more it will want to stay straight, increasing that pressure would be like adding more fins or adding a small wing to the back, or you could try and decrease drag at the front of the car. I hope this can help if you need it, otherwise you can look up some stuff about rocket aerodynamics and how they stay straight.

    back in the day for on-road 1/10 oval cars, we ran rubber cap tires. it was a foam tire trued way down then a rubber skin glued down over the foam. Like cutting a section of an inner tube and stretching it over the foam. They were very durable and would keep tires from exploding. Also for low drag race cars, we would use some thin delrin material on the bottom of the chassis to keep from damaging the bottom and it's pretty slick so it wouldn't slow the cars down as much as dragging the chassis. Now you could probably use some Star Board.

    I’m absolutely loving this and can’t wait for your WR attempt! I would still run carbon angle down both sides of the chassis, screwed and epoxied, as well as the center brace. It would really suck to break this thing in half after all that work and money. It would also allow much better body mounting down the sides. Without this, even if the chassis didn’t break in half it could still be catastrophic in the middle of a run if the belly was slapping or dragging on the pavement. This is one heavy beast! Very best of luck and Godspeed!

    With a dart, you want all the weight at the front because it’s the inertia of that weight that is moving the dart through the air. Once the dart leaves your hand there are no forces (aside from aerodynamic drag) being applied to the dart, it’s just the momentum of the mass. If that weight is towards the rear and the there is drag at the front, you end up with an inverse pendulum effect, it wants to tumble. With your car, you are constantly adding force and not relying solely on momentum (unlike if you had launched it from a slingshot or hotwheels launcher). In your case you want all the mass out at the extents of the car to create the greatest most stability. If you put all the weight in the center, the car turns very easily, put it all at the front and rear and the momentum of those two masses actually helps to resist the car changing direction, ie it becomes more stable at speed.

      This is a good test in order to determine if with the exception of each motor/esc carrying its own weight, will doubling the power every time also double the speed, but again with the exception of wind resistance, inertia and drag, what is the ratio or formula on how dense the atmosphere becomes in increments of MPH?

    For soldering the battery connectors, search your favorite place for soldering pliers. There are many different brands but most all look similar. Maybe with a little modification they could hold the battery connectors for soldering. They are super handy for wire to wire soldering so either way they would be useful.

    This is a fantastic project Kev. Really looking forward to seeing more of it. if I was doing this, (ha ha yeah right) I'd put some kind of angle section aluminium/carbon fibre on the edge of the chassis to help stiffen it.
    I think you may need to put some kind of protector on the bottom. Awesome that Raz is helping, and have you seen that lad who had the jet car last year, his new project? It's awesome.

  • @redjackhammer
    @redjackhammer Рік тому +5

    just an idea kev, so that the chassis doesn't sag so much maybe stack the batteries on both ends, and then there won't be as much weight in the middle. it just might save the car whilst driving. also thank you so much for releasing this video, we've been waiting for so long! keep up the good work man!

    Only one thing kinda concerns me, is that you could get resonance vibration through the chassis, as it looks like it can bend and bounce quite easily. This could cause the wheels to loose grip and decrease stability. Perhaps some aluminum struts through the entire structure from one and to the other to create a more rigid body, might be a good idea. Just a thought mate :)

    • @r7calvin
      @r7calvin 11 місяців тому

      Would the resonance only happen at a certain range of speeds? Maybe it could be tuned so the worst vibrations happen at lower speeds?

  • @Stickies72
    @Stickies72 Рік тому +5

    This is definitely going to make a good run at the speed record which as I believe now stands at 219mph. I think you have a real shot at it, the HP to weight ratio looks good and aero wise it seems to have handled the 77mph pretty well. Good luck!!

    • @muskokamike127
      @muskokamike127 Рік тому

      I disagree. He keeps adding more HP but also more weight and more batteries. If the previous car weighed 10 kg with 50 hp this won't be any faster with 100 hp and 19 kg.

    • @TranceFur
      @TranceFur Рік тому

      Top speed is basically independent from weight. Weight strongly impacts acceleration, not top speed. Top speed is mostly impacted by power output and aerodynamic drag.

    • @muskokamike127
      @muskokamike127 Рік тому

      @@TranceFur True, but you're talking about inertia and relying on the weight of the vehicle being a part of "moving it forward" but there is a LOT of drag created and power used to keep that weight moving. Not as impactful as aerodynamics, but it's still there AND you have to steer/control it.

    Kev, I have an advice for you, to get the downforce that you need, ask to the company that made the carbon fibre chassis to make wings for the downforce.
    These wings have to have the shape of an upside down airfoil so, the upper part of the airfoil generates a higher pressure than the lower part resulting in downforce

    • @toysforboysrc
      @toysforboysrc Рік тому +1

      If he matches or beats the current record, I can see companies investing on making custom hardened body shells with those molded aero features for this size chassis.

    • @muskokamike127
      @muskokamike127 Рік тому +2

      The issue is that the faster he goes the more downforce and the more resistance. Wind resistance is exponential: the faster you go the more the air tries to slow you down. Bugatti figured out that it took something like 500 hp to get to 200 mph, and another 487 hp more to get to 250.
      Now with the chiron, they added more HP without adding any more weight.

    Honestly - it looks good. Have you tried it in a wind tunnel? Tinker with downforce wings. I think a thorough analysis by an engineer would go a long way. Also, full scale LSR cars always spend an enormous amount of time getting the wheels right. There has to be a better alternative than foam. Also do you use a gyro? Great project!
