I'll have a think about what I could do with it, there wasn't a whole lot of design that went into the braking system. There isn't a whole lot for me to say in all honesty, I used fairly common components, only thing I had to do was connect them up with hydraulic tubing - is there anything specific you are hoping to see?
Thanks for the reply, your channel is awesome by the way. If it is not too much to ask. I wanted to see your pedal assembly, the technique you used in tubing from the M/C and how it connects to the calipers. Also your pad and rotor materials. Thanks a bunch
There's a video on my channel covering the pedal build but yes, I'm missing stuff on the interconnections. Maybe I'll work something into a race report, there's not really enough to it to warrant its own video I think. I just used a combination of hard and soft line to make the connections. The rotor is a solid steel disk as is dictated by our rules. I've got some racing pads in there, Ferrodos.
Dude! Where can I buy the knowledge you have? Because this will be my sophomore year in college (2nd year) and I just don't see school teaching us all of what you know. I'm on the road to majoring in Industrial Distribution (Engineering). I love this series!
I'm curious on the underbody design. In your CAD files it shows a undertray with quite alot of feutures yet on the car itself nothing like it is mounted. What was the process for designing this tray and when (if) do you think you will mount it?
G'day. The undertray was completely designed by Kyle of JKF Aero - you can find his TH-cam channel here th-cam.com/users/Kyleengineers. He has a number of videos covering design of elements such as this. As far as me building it, I've been too busy so far this year to get it done, all going well I may have a crack at building it during this later half. I'm not having to do so much on the car itself anymore so I'll have some time to spare to put towards it.
It's hard to say really, I made other changes to the car between rounds that might have also had an effect. I'd say there was an improvement in grip but I can't say it was 100% due to buffing the tyres. I was a little concerned about making the tyres out of round and so hoped to ensure this didn't happen by checking the tread depth around the tyre as I worked. Didn't turn out to be a problem after I was done.
thanks - though i guess the 'out of round' thing might have been less of an issue (theoretically) had you done the buffing with them actually mounted on the vehicle. I'm hoping to see some more racing!
Grip problem with front tire must caused by the angle at which the tires turn. Both front tire turn at a slightly different angle to improve grip while cornering look it up.
Great video
Who has a spare VFD just laying around in their garage? Lol
maybe add a tool rest like on a wood lathe
grtz
+rzan8 yep that's a good idea, it wasn't that easy to be consistent this way.
Please can you upload something on your braking system, you channel is awesome by the way.

wow - i'd be scared that I'd be making the tire out-of-round!
Which tyre did you use? And How did you decide which one to use?
Yokohama Neova AD08R tyres from memory. We must run a spec tyre in this series.

Try using a 4 inch grinder with tire rotating.Lot faster.

Nice Buffing machine you made. I want to build also a buffing machine but what are specs of the motor you used
Thanks. The motor was a small 0,75kW single phase (I don't recall it being three phase) industrial electric motor.
Thx
hi i race a formula vee to we buff our tyres with a chizzle it takes a long time and always goes blunt, what tool are you using to buff yours? cheers
Are you sure there isn't any gain in changing the profile?
and DID it help your front end grip?

Cool :D

Yes this is referred to as Ackerman.
