    Kev, if you get a good 3d scan of the car I can run some CFD on the design. I think the person who really takes that seriously is going to be the first to 300mph+ (note I am not an aerospace engineer, but I do work for the company that makes the software and i have used it a good bit.)

    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.

    @tylerkwiatkowski3757 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +84

    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.

    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.

    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!

      25hp per wheel, so 25hp, lots of tourque but, kv and cell count dictate the rotational speed of brushless motors, doubling up or QUADING just reduces LOAD, it does not make them SPIN FASTER. They are all the SAME KV!

      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?

    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.

    This battle for speed in the RC car world right now is fascinating. The clash of high end technology mixed with a "screw it, let's see if this works" mentality is amazing to watch. I wonder how long it will take until someone really takes a solid look at the aero design or they get a new wheel that doesn't disintegrate and has the right friction properties they need.

      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.

    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 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +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!

    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 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@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.

  • @lorenzocerretti5192

    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 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +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 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +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!

  • @VindicatorJones
    @VindicatorJones 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +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 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

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