Arogon's speed project

well its about time i post what im going to be doing to bumble bee v2 after this years event, its simple more power, longer, stronger and faster. my goal is to make bumble bee v3 go over the 160mph barrier and eventually the 200mph barrier. the plan is to get rid of all of the castle leccys and replace them with MGM and Lehner leccys, yes they may be expensive but i know they can hold up to the stresses of going this fast. the car is currently in its design phase with only a hand full of CAD drawings, but i already know how everything is going to be put together and made.  

 

now on to the parts list:

money comes from my job, im not worried about a car as that is basically sorted, and i've already know how im going to fit my GCSE's around this project as this project is going to take a long time which means i have a lot of time to concentrate on my GCSE's

So true, cool project, Wish you luck with it.

 

Seems to me that with on-road speed projects grunt isn't the limiting factor it's down-force/controllability.

 

Thanks

This is a lot of money spend for someone your age on a project that won't actually benfit in anyway. Why not put all of your time into one project and reach your targeted speed before moving onto another one.

I had a feeling it was single gloss, the first time I bought carbon fibre I thought it was quite reasonably priced til it turned up and I realised it wasn't gloss on both sides

When someone chooses to spend their money is up to them, relating to the age thing.

I do kind of agree on the project bit though :lol: oh well, individual choice :P

Indeed, no mortgage or kids to feed yet..may as well spend money on something enjoyable while you can, because further down the line (4 kids, women and loads of bills) the opportunity gets somewhat harder to have... yeah I probably should of applied myself somewhat better  :xd:

Keeps him busy... Keeps us entertained... Not our cash.

Sounds like a win to me lol.

Also not to be offensive to him, but he's reset his goal like 4 times now... I think the only thing stopping him hitting it, is him.

i will agree with you there i do often change my goals and thats what keeps my going for most of the time as i know in my mind i can do it, i would say alot more but that info is sort of personal

I know a lot who have problems, myself included, certainly not something to discuss on an open forum.

However, I do think that you'd get a lot more positive replies if you set yourself a reasonable goal (100mph for example) for the car you had set-up, shouldn't really have been much of a problem and then after you'd hit that goal, aim higher.

If you can't hit 100mph, you aren't going to go above that speed.

I hope you do, but you had a decent car set-up that was looking like it would smash 100mph and now you've changed it entirely for something completely new that may not work :lol:

Sorry again if I sound offensive or harsh or whatever, it's just how I see it.

i see where you are coming from, i know my old setup of my car would have more than likely gone more than 100mph but i

wanted to re-design the car to make it stronger and faster you can probably work out i change my mind a bit but i just like a challenge and i like to try new things that haven't been done before and if it dosen't work it dosen't work and i will learn from that mistake. anyway i am hoping to see what the car can do very soon as i am trying to head down to the track efore the event just to see what the car can actually do.
