    Best way to tidy up the wires if you don't want to shorten them, is to wind them tightly around a thin screwdriver or allen wrench. Then you pull the screwdriver out and the wires are nicely pig-tailed.

    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.

  • @VindicatorJones
    @VindicatorJones Рік тому +5

    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 Рік 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?

  • @ScottR76

    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.

  • @maxyt569
    @maxyt569 Рік тому +2

    Additionally, have you considered using two different Kv motors instead of two of the same? As it stands, the limiting factor for top speed ( assuming you are stable) is when the motor can not put out enough force to accelerate the car any further. This happens because of back-EMF as you get higher in a BLDC motors rev range. The idea here is that you can have two motors together to extend the torque range of your system. In an ideal world the first motor tops out as the second motor nears its peak power.

    • @muskokamike127
      @muskokamike127 Рік тому

      You'd need a clutch in between the two motors because once the first motor "tops out" the 2nd will be driving it and thereby lose over all speed. Think of a twin engine plane with the port engine going at 10,000 rpm and the starboard engine going 8000 rpm. The plane would run to starboard due to the drag of that motor.
      In boats with twin or more engines, they have engine synchros so all engines are turning at the same rpm.
      The best bet would be to have a variable rate transmission which allows the engines to spool up to their max rpm and then shift into 2nd to get the higher top speed.
      I haven't gotten a straight answer from any engineer on why EVs don't have a 2 step. They draw max current to get the vehicle moving then peak out. You can alleviate this issue with a 2 step.

    • @maxyt569

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!

  • @MDC_1985
    @MDC_1985 Рік тому +3

    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.

      Kev's biggest issue is he keeps re-using tires after each run. Bugatti ditches the tires after every run because they degrade. They are doing 390 kph in scale, kev is doing 2100 mph. No wonder the tires don't hold up.

    I think you should remove the wing if you are worried about flipping over. As it stands because the down force generated from the wing is behind the back wheel it will force the front up as the car gets faster. The reason why full scale race cars have this is because they need to have extra force and thus friction on their driving tires to accelerate out of a corner. Seeing as you are going for a speed record and not an acceleration record, I think this wing will only help the car flip over at speed. The alternative solution is to move the wing over or ideally in front of the rear tires. Regardless, I think it is still important to have the "sides" of the wing because they will help you maintain stability at speed.
    Good luck!

    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.

    I understand of course the wind / Wing will also push her down.. 250MPH She will be pushing down what 60-70KG?
