Your car is awesome and all, but we need some dirty 3rd rape vids where you can actualy hear the car and the neo raping other cars on the track. Maybe some ride alongs too.

Yeah we need some ripper vids from the passenger seat.


That is by far one of the coolest things I've seen.

Here is what I'm busy with right now.......



fully adjustable, electronically controlled, speed sensitive front Air-foils... to be operated with a Servo by the onboard ECU.

Guess I'm going to be having a hard time to be allowed to part take in any Track event's with this car.....

Awesome work! Out of curiosity, how are you setting up a servo to take those forces without ending up frying the servos?

well, the servo is only responsible for altering the tilt of the wing, the actual downforce get fed through the structure of the wing, into the frame, the Servo is also going to be the kind that get used on CNC lathes and mills, so it will be plenty strong enough for the job...

it might be cheaper and just as good to use a screw type actuator. a motor turns a threaded rod that stays stationary and is threaded into the wing to move it up and down.

you fellas are thinking way too hard about that shift linkage. its super easy to 180 degree that. even with the tight amount of room you have to work with. only diffrence is you would pull at you for 1, 3, 5 and push the shifter forward for 2, 4, R. i had a cheez dick doon buggy someone made like this once. if it stumps you on what im talking about ill post some caveman type drawings for ya.
