Thanks Brad, not a rusted on Super Car fan but loving your behind the scenes insights. Great to see the engineering that keeps the cars on or off the road.
Another great Video Brad 👍 Interesting to see how much work goes into designing just one part on these cars. Something the average viewer would never realise. Thanks for explaining how these spindles & Wheel nuts work 👏👏
That last part, oof. Would love to know how much of that cost is inherent due to the materials & consumables required to make it and what sort of volume would be required to bring the price down through economies of scale. E.g would having more of the control parts like these be shared designs with another series like nascar reduce the unit cost a lot or only a little bit?
Only issue with the tapered roller over a deep groove ball bearing is no inherent seal. Will you be running a separate seal carrier? As the F.O.S. Benefit goes out the window once you get ingress in the rollers.
(This was one of the best descriptive videos so far! Great info! Only good thing about standard parts is there is no secret in materials etc used so great to actually share that).
Thanks Brad and thanks for sharing. Whilst your taking the time to show the punters what’s going Supercars are to busy posting absolute rubbish on their channel…..
So all teams now need to more $$$ because a numpty hit a wall said team didn’t swap part Is their supplier up to standard feel for every other team more $$$ spent 😮😮😮
@@joshiek7839 not here it doesn’t. My whole life they were called stub axles. I believe even the poms call them that further more as you state a stub axle is a stationary shaft that the wheel hub and bearing spin on. If they were axles like in the differential then they would rotate which is not the case
I have a great idea,, put threads on the drive pegs and then 5 tapered nuts,, you know wheel nuts and get away from these wanker imitation F1 things. Or wheels will continue to fall off, generally not done up properly And gee a tapered roller bearing,, like EVERY roadcar used up until the 90s when manufacturers needed to sell more parts so we got those dopey single bearing hubs. Go look at Larrys cars in the early 90s Thanks for these clips Brad,, it just goes to prove not much real engineering went into these cars as it gets changed every couple of months

Brad, love your videos.
Very good to have all parts of the car explained.
Thanks
Hey Brad, can we see more of Paul please? Fascinating.

Thank you BJR/Brad
Thanks for sharing guys, it was a great insight into the engineering that goes into racing.

Do you guys use Imperial torque measurements for everything or just wheel nuts?

If the ABC saw Brad's interview here, guaranteed Leigh Sales would not have been replaced with Sarah Ferguson.

Amazing torque figure required blew me away
If the new spindle has increased thickness, there is likely to be less stretch. Thermal expansion is probably the biggest issue IMO.
I assume that is 4340 300m and not 300 Maraging?
I’d love to see how theses run in bearings and are driven
Was I the only one that went WOW when Brad said at the end that they are $1800 each. but my jaw hit the ground when he said that he need 20.
Thats retail, it's a development project, there is your tax write off
$1800 X 20 = $36,000 OMG !

Had failures last year no walls involved...Parts will be lifed so new cheaper version will be used...
Spindlegate is a spicy topic internally. Maybe one day the story will come out… but maybe not with the current HoM…
Again ???? That's 3 times they have changed design.
This is the biggest problem with gen 3. Messing with stuff that didn't need to be messed with.
When did we start calling stub axles spindles. Another Americanism has crept into Aussie language
A stub axle refers to a stationary shaft. A spindle is a rotating shaft.
