Its dependent on weight transfer. If the weight on the rear tires is evenly distributed between them then both tires will resist changing speeds an equal amount and the car will want to go straight....

Send an e-mail to the general mailbox on RCV's website, or even just call them and say you would like the FSAE catalog. They have all their FSAE parts listed, along with dimensions and weights.
Considering that your a new team I would keep things simple and aim for the following:
lateral g > 0
acceleration g > 0
braking g > 0
Keep in mind your car needs to be capable of all of the...
Charles,
Have you actually implemented this strategy before? I'm less concerned about the cost of manufacturing brake rotors in bulk then I am concerned about the time it would take to keep...

You're right, there is no room between the side gears to fit a snap ring on the stubs. We machined away part of the spline on the inboard side of the side gears. If you looked at a cross...
My team has used Torsen differentials in the past with just the press fit of the bearing holding the stub-shafts in place. They all came loose. We never had a stub pull so far out that it disengaged...
RaceCatt doesn't care about efficient use of time. He has no job, no hobby and is too stupid to do anything other than troll forums and bother people.
Do you think responding to his utterly...
Think about what loads are actually going through your differential supports and what happens when things start flexing.
My team had a Go Pro camera pointed at our chain this past summer and were...
Keizer makes a nice set of magnesium centered rims that my team has been running for the past three years. They wont beat CF rim, but they are the lightest metal alloy rims I've come across. They are...
One possibility not mentioned would be to use a rotary potentiometer connected to the shift linkage.
You could write a (relatively) simple program to tell the pot at what angle a shift has...
It has been posted on the fsae online website. See the link below:

Its got an explanation of the whole thing then the template is just put...
My team was looking into doing a similar sort of analysis but we couldn't figure it out either. We just took an old engine apart and put used oil into the bottom half of the engine bloc (with the top...
Normally I don't like starting an off-topic rant, but today I feel it necessary.
This is absolutely the wrong attitude. Have you tried talking to your professors? I can't speak for how...
That's a good point about the number of links being different. To be honest I never really calculated it like that.
We run a 13T, 428 front sprocket which is the smallest sprocket you can put on a...
We're crazy enough!
My team has been running #428 chain on our CBR600F4i for quite a few years, since about 2006 actually.
I've never had problems with elongation. Of course it will happen, but...
Hi eran
Google is your friend, use it.
Here is a good article to get you pointed in the right direction.
Understanding Differentials
Have you looked at the kits that Taylor Race offers? They use a system similiar to what Dunk is talking about. A spring at one end pushes the shaft into the bottom of the opposite housing, thereby...
Thank you to everyone who has responded so far. You have been very helpful.
Here is a plot of oil pressure, lat G, and RPM during the oil pan testing we did.
Time plot
I believe we run about...
If I recall correctly, I remember one team posting that they cut separate profiles for each side of the individual tripod bearings. The profiles had a slightly larger ID than the OD of the tripod...
Hi dmacke
There are some other threads on these forums that discuss this very subject in some detail. Here are a few links:

Hi everybody
I'm a long time reader, but I've never posted a question before. My team has been struggling with oil pressure during cornering and I'm hoping someone can shed some light on our...
That's easy! About 1.2G, oh wait... that's what we pulled in the Formula North skid-pad, oh wait.. our engine stopped working after that. http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_mad.gif
Here is another question for you RTAF. You're driving along at 60km/h and 7000rpm. Now downshift without the clutch. What do you think will happen to your engine rpm? Your road speed? Your rear wheel...
At least I can spell... But now that I'm done being a loser I can offer some advice.
You said you're tank regulates down to 400-600 psi. That's a big plus for you because now you don't need a reg...
