Suggestion: to make your car as fast as possible don’t worry about the engine or anything else but instead focus on reducing your drag, like instead of a boxier shape maybe have a tear drop shape, having a boxier shape increases drag even with a aerodynamic nose cone for example Hypercars at Le Mans, Bugatti, or some F1 cars most Of them follow a tear/rain drop pattern. And MOST IMPORTANTLY work on making a diffuser for your car since without one it’s similar to driving with a parachute strapped to the back of your car but these are just suggestions from what I think would decrease drag

@josemaurojunior6077 11 месяцев назад

Congrats on the project! suggestion: add FPV camera to the car in addition to track markings. This will facilitate control at high speeds and long distances, thus giving greater precision to piloting.

@divergentus 11 месяцев назад

They had to spin up the solid rim Bluebird wheels on a static jig to see if they'd hold together at high speed. Switching to solid tyres will stop the ballooning, but don't underestimate the damage an unbalanced wheel or failed bearing can do at high RPM. I'm sure you'll test your custom wheels, but maybe include an oversized wheel in the jig to simulate the contact point and as the drive output, so you can simulate downforce to check the bearings can hold up and the balance stays true. Really exciting to see it coming together - very professional effort!

@gavwilldo 11 месяцев назад

Might want to consider a parachute for this. Stopping from 60mph with rubber tires is one thing, stopping from 200mph with whatever new wheels you come up with is going to be a challenge without a parachute I think.

I heard his next build is a submersible that he will use to visit the Titanic. If anyone can do it, he can! Update: I made the above comment before it was discovered that all were lost. Like many, I originally hoped that they would be rescued. I do believe that if given the resources, James could build a submersible that would make the dive. It's his dedication to perfection that would ensure his success. This tragedy is a stark reminder of what will happen when shortcuts are taken and projects are rushed. When the stakes are so high, there is no substitution for perfection. My condolences to the families who lost so much.

@testpilotian3188 11 месяцев назад

You’ve probably already done the second run but you might want to reconsider your camera and radio gear mounts and try to make them more aerodynamic or put them somewhere out of direct air flow, I’ve done some “sketchy shit” with flying wings trying to get them to exceed 200 and we found the slightest little lump anywhere on the surface, like a camera, can upset it or create oscillations or just make it too unstable at really high speeds, even something as small as a Runcam Splt 3 with the camera on the wing tip and the circuit board embedded in the wing was enough to cause the wing to turn sharp left on launch and required me to hold in a lot of right stick to keep it straight at high speed, when we took the camera off, we found another 30mph.

@TT-yg2np 11 месяцев назад

I fly turbine jets. we have a short 460ft runway. Using a swiwin 80 lock the breaks until full spool or almost full rpm of the turbine and then release for take off. This will most likely help you with your launch and getting up to speed.

@Josh-L 11 месяцев назад

The good thing about racing on the sand with a jet-powered car is that the acceleration isn't forcing the sand out of the way by the wheels spinning out because the wheels aren't where the power is being applied, unlike a normal RC car which would struggle to get grip and the wheels would slide out, therefore sending sand flying everywhere and spinning out.

@mgscheue 11 месяцев назад

Good point, though I'd imagine lateral traction would still be a problem, and the mess of sand getting in, especially if any got ingested by the engine.

@SivaKanthSharma 11 месяцев назад

Yea, the concern about acceleration doesn’t apply to jet powered car, but his concerns about braking, steering and the salt water would still apply.

@Josh-L 11 месяцев назад

@@SivaKanthSharma Yeah salt water and rc cars do not mix very well.

@curtislavoie2242 11 месяцев назад

Great work so far! Tons of potential. Because your tires aren’t burdened with tractive forces, I would expect you to have far fewer issues. Foams should have more top speed headroom before coming apart on a thrust propelled vehicle. Maybe😊

Nice car and nice test runs -- props mate. Just a suggestion from an experienced biker -- on that go cart, you might want to consider wearing gloves and full leathers -- experimental vehicles have been known to experience 'unplanned vehicle/rider separation' . The shorts and tee shirts might not be the best idea. ;-)
