schumacher mi4 4 cell project

I don't know Arogon, that 3 mm of thread sticking out could cost you some top speed. 

 

But then, it might just be the thing that makes the whole project a success. 

 

To change or not to change, that is the question.

Impressive work there fella. I only had 2 cars this time last year and they both look a hell of a lot worse now than they did then!

[Oh How Original]

After all the problems you've had and stuck at it, I thoroughly hope you hit your 150mph goal!

[chewbacca]

+1 to what OHO said.

Who are you using out of interest as if you haven't got anyone I can recommend someone who is very good

[Oh How Original]

I highly doubt it to be honest, I really fancied doing the

[arogon1235]

there should be a new thread up relatively soon for the next stage of this project, the reason i am making a new thread is because the new car is a totally different design and i think it deserves its own thread which will include lots of pictures of how the cars is being created and developed at the moment. however the actually car wont be made until next year which gives me a lot of time to tweak any design errors/ flaws i have found.  might also include a list of all of the parts i will use and the cost( might need to sit down for the cost bit though )

[JayAVFC]

Great thread i hope you get your 120mph target! Good luck

[arogon1235]

car is finished before the event which is a weird one for me as its usually a rush to finish the car   

 

 

[JayAVFC]

Nice good luck!

first run log RPM: 41345  AMPS: 145.8a  WATTS: 4537  no recorded speed as it flipped just before the speed trap 

 

second run log was at 74mph and if you look the rpm, watts and amps are half of the first run.

car is currently being rebuilt and is going back to a 4 cell car, updates shortly.
