The head restraint will be fine but I believe the side pod boxes would be deemed illegal (maybe not illegal to the letter of the rule but...).

Is there any live streaming of the competition set up at this point of the competition?

Not a suspension guy, but I believe you are not considering the other 4 springs in the system...

The tires will also provide some roll to the overall system and that is why the angle of the wheel...

The manual option is not a bad option.

We here at WWU have, in the past, run with a mechanical paddle shift utilizing a push pull cable meant for boat throttles. We have since gone back to a lever...

I do not see a roll hoop support brace that goes from the roll hoop supports to the main hoop at the lower sis on either side.

Do you have access to the part to measure it?

Just to add to the above statement.

You would likely be told by a rules inquiry to use triangulated tubing on both sides and behind the turbo that met the size requirements of side impact...

If you have serious doubts about the legality of your design you will need to contact the rules committee. Nobody here has the ability to say your design is legal or not.

That being said my...

Maybe the RC will get a fifty point penalty for missing the deadline.

Reliance on rules inquiries to build our cars is a dangerous thing. My team had a back and forth with some of the people answering the inquiries this last season. The conclusion was if the inspector...

Just so no one starts down the road of high front and over driver wings before the final rules come out... Here is what will keep you from just attaching super high wings everywhere but the back of...

Well now they"fixed" it so now no autocross updates.

We used a couple layers of heat shrinking material normally used on remote controlled airplanes last year on our tube frame car. Worked remarkably well.

Some of our cars in recent history ran over 50 mm, close to 60 mm if I remember correctly.

It was done with rising rate rockers so that those cars were not too soft. Of course there is no real...

I think video proof of running would be a great addition to all the comps.

Here at WWU we have no access to our shop or the CAD resources during the summer months, so cannot do serious work until...

I 100% agree that the 2015 rules should be out or about to come out.
More likely to see them in September though.

We looked briefly at this motor.
From the bit of research done we understood it to be a sleaved 600 twin, so based off that info it was rejected as it would be really tall and heavy. The packaging...

As others have said.

Build the frame to all the critical mounting points(engine, suspension, etc.)
Build around the templates.

Also I would add that building a mock up(from wood or pvc...

Hello to everyone that has been wondering about this rules question about motor cases and the allowance of a mesh cover over the "exposed" high speed final drive.

This was a question that my team...

It is now up and running with the second link posted in OP. Not everything seems to be there that used to be but we have someone working on it.

We here at WWU have finally gotten around to trying to get the issue with the Shared CAD Files Library working again, found out that it most likely got renamed. I will post more information as soon...
