I couldn't find anything in the Fuel and Fuel System section relating to insulation but I would suggest sending a question to the rules committee.

Our team has used a 3M 2-part epoxy for the past two years and it has worked great. I would advise against the superglue and water mixture, superglue reacts with water.

The ISU team is looking for 2-4 Hoosier r25b compound tires for use with 10" diameter by 6" wide rims. We typically run the LC0 compound but are looking to test the r25b's. PM me if you have some you...

We are running into the same issues on my team this year. Some members want to go from an NA 450 single, 2 element front and rear wing, and manual shifter to a turbo 450 single, 3 element front and...

Repairing it only requires cutting a patch and glueing it into place, next to no time at all. Our 2013-2014 car has held up fine, the only damage being small holes from people slipping while using...

RCV states in their catalogue that their axles are limited to 12 degrees, so I assume most housings designed around their tripods are similar. Those torque numbers are about what we see when dumping...

The initial purpose of the thread was just to obtain some technical information about the Wavetrac, not to ask for suspension advice. This is why I'm appearing biased, I was already decided on...

I don't remember our exact lateral g's but our best skidpad time was 5.381s. From our data acquisition we have seen up to 2.1g's during Endurance. I drove the skidpad event at Formula North and from...

Z,

The Wavetrac is $600, compared to $400 for a Torsen (which we gut and use a custom housing with anyways), or ~$300 for an ATV front differential. In my mind the price difference is almost...

We have scales, I can try to get the static corner loads some time this week. The suspension guys are working on providing the other info.



A big reason I'm a proponent of the Wavetrac is that...

That is the reason I came into this thread with the Wavetrac in mind. The only other option that met that prerequisite was a clutch-style lsd and they are too expensive for our budget. As for using...

Okay, here is the response from one of my suspension guys:

"Man that is a lot of questions, I don't have access to all those numbers at the moment and I might hesitate a little bit to put that...

I'm aware of most of the options available for FSAE differentials. From what I have found we can choose between:
A spool (causes understeer)
Detroit Locker (causes understeer)
A Cam and Pawl...

You will have to wait for the suspension guys to get back to me, most of that's a little beyond my depth of knowledge. I can tell you that the weight distribution is approximately 49% front (was...

I'm waiting on a response from RCV about the stub shafts and the Wavetrac rep couldn't help any more than providing me with those drawings.

Our suspension guys are trying to tune the car to keep...

Hello,

My name is Tyler Jones, I'm the Project Director/Controls Team Lead for the Iowa State University FSAE team.

Our 2014-2015 car runs a Torsen T1 differential with a custom gear housing....
