Hell yeah Ruski, won't lie, only found you recently but you've honestly single-handedly brought me back to the car scene. I'm buying a new car soon and I'm going to replace every part with carbon following your vids as something fun to do. So thanks man
I was looking into aerodynamics 20 years or so ago when internet searches were kinda new and found some old NACA postings (way before they became NASA) where it stated air cannot be 'moved' over more than a 7 degree angle without causing drag (turbulence or flow separation) It was mainly for the 'hole' left in atmosphere by 'body' moving through it (probably why there were so many 'fastback' cars in 70's/80's?) There was also formula for NACA ducts for intakes, flush wit surface and very low drag. May be worth looking into as drag reduction at speed is worth as much as more horsepower. In the 1980's I knew a guy making surf kayak's, surf 'shoes' BAT's and various other kayak's. (my sister worked for him and the guy who invented the 'T' to make surf rescue surf shoes more stable) For production use, moulds need to be around 6mm (1/4") or more thick plus reinforced on flat area's or they will bow after a few uses' He used ordinary PVC pipe as the 'hoops' formed gave greater rigidity without making large moulds too heavy to move by one person.
Your videos have great production value. I might suggest a lapel mic so your voice comes through more consistently. You convey a great deal of information through speech.
I would really love a video where you go through all your projects and rate how big a difference each change made. I know its a lot to ask but imagine if you had that reference doing this how much better you could .
This is some real great work!! whats the reason for the kevlar in the layers? also im looking at creating a forged or cut carbon clio cup spoiler any advice you have there? ive got the spoiler but dont know where to start to make a carbon version
Don't you think that inverted mould would have been better Idea? You really shouldn't care about the smooth side on the outside of them. Smooth side should be the one contacting the air

It's criminal the subs you have, you honestly make things the way I do. Quick fast, but smart and quality. Cheers G 🤙
Welcome aboard!
well feel free to share around. i need more subs ;)
Love the presentation style. Form follows function and the smooth underside insertion method on Team Prawn Racing new A3 8L splitter. 👋 Subscribed
Honestly I'm impressed most with the freehand drawing while holding the camera at the beginning
you should see what i can do using both hands haha
@@RuskiWeldFab do I have to pay for the only fans to see that? 🤣
yes subscription only 🔞
I hit subscribe after I saw that freehand template being drawn.

Great feedback!

Thanks for the tips!

ill try do something like that
That's awesome. Your a clever guy.. I wish I could make these ducts and so on.
Anyone can make them. Not rocket science. But if you have no time I sell them 👌
Nice welding shots!
Glad you like them!
Nice job man. keep it up!
Appreciate it!

kevlar because everything else is kevlar. no real reason to be honest.
What is the board material you use for the mold structure?
It is Dibond
yes dibond
What was the structural foam you added?

What kind of fucking alien child foot is that at 12:26 ???
😝
Iso-pro-pill you’re welcome ;)
Thanks! Needed that
250euro for a set is considered cheap?
I print ABS for $5
Fantastic! But it’s not quite carbon is it
Id like to know if it is okay to be shipped to Japan?
Yes it’s possible. Drop me an email or contact via socials
@@RuskiWeldFab oh I already ordered it by rwf shopping web. Thank you and I will wait for it!

Agree. 2 new modular designs are just that.
