    I used a servo hooked up directly to the clutch via a cable in the 07 QUT car (2003 R6). Work out what force and travel you need to operate your clutch, then go shopping for a servo with enough...

    Don't bother trying to run your electrical system at a loss. You'll get sick of flat batteries and run the risk of not being able to start the car at the driver change in endurance. You'll also have...

    If you switch the wires, the voltage will be the negative of what you want. The sensor will still pick up the correct frequency but the phase will be all out of whack. It'll have the right number of...

    Double check your VR ref/sync sensors. We had our ref VR sensor wires switched around which made our car run "retarded".

    Not sure about the current draw of those ones. IMO you'd want 20C on a 5Ah to be safe.

    I'd have to check the specifics here Frank, but off the top of my head the LiPo we acquired last year was a 5Ah 14.8V. It weighed in around 400-500g, around $300AUD shipped.

    I don't really know...

    We have an R6. Off the top of my head it was somewhere around 180N on an arm that's maybe 4cm long.

    Way to spill the beans.

    We only use clutch for launch, so the RC servo worked well. With a pressure sensor mounted on a paddle we had full analog control over the clutch. I probably wouldn't like...

    Looking at the picture, it is the same as the R6 COP. Also, I am led to believe that the YZF450 coil connectors are common to ford modular v8s.

    I'm a sucker for the kind of pain that comes about from doing consecutive all-nighters.

    My personal record is around 40 hours in the workshop without sleep.

    Our workshop record is 51 hours.
