Mine joined SAE and designed the rear ARB http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
Unmodified that motor is awesome. Runs forever, had one in my 1991 EX500 (which was still running in 2009). Same design motor is still in the new bikes.
Andy, that's correct, but you pick your MR based on how stiff the damper is/ how much travel its got. I'm curious how stiff the rates are on these dampers compared to the CC DB's. If they're softer...
Huh, thats really weird that they would name them the same as an existing damper, but now that you mention it I think I remember thinking that when I first saw them (just forgot).
WRT to MR, are...
Pretty sure the "other compound" run by 10" teams like RMIT and ETS is LC0.
Rip stop nylon attached with Velcro. Lighter than CF, shows off the chassis, and cheap as hell. Downside, "It doesn't look like a real racecar."
Penske seems to have a different idea of what their 7800 series is:

A lot of teams use these dampers, why did you pick this number? Seems...
Laugh if you want, my team did too, until our body panels went from 15 lb to 1.5 lb. I'd be surprised if anyone has composite panels that light, and last I checked weight was important in our...
Cloth, attached around the frame rails with Velcro.
Benefits:
Lightest possible panels, short of using cellophane
Cheap
Drawbacks:
"It doesn't look like a race car"
We can pick our own names? I want team awesome! BTW, Chris, told you we could've put TU Buff on the car, and no one would have "officially" cared. ...

Did someone on your team write the software?
Steering force and feedback etc is mostly determined by your tyres properties. I think Baja is mostly done by benchmark (haven't done Baja, but thats the impression that I've gotten) for steering...
I've always thought of it as MR = Wheel/Spring and called the other Installation Ratio, IR = Spring/Wheel. Supposed to help keep them straight, but I still always get them mixed up in my head.
But what if one end has more weight on it than the other? Then a simple slip angle measurement tells you nothing. Or what if your rear axle is solid and doesn't produce wheel camber?
Over/ Under...
A few things to think about:
1. If you use an H lower member, your uprights will have to be able to attach to it, making them heavier, your uprights will have to be shorter to package it inside the...
