    Thanks! As far as I know, there aren't any teams running 8's right now. With the release of the new, nominally 16" diameter tires, it may mean there won't be any in the future, either. Most of the 8"...

    Hi Doug, this is awesome! Can you give more detail about why you can't drive the small Hoosier 10's? Along with that, is there any possibility of testing 8" tires free-rolling, the same as the small...

    I've seen this since I started working with FSAE teams in 2009, although it does seem to have gotten more prevalent. I can understand that. I was personally reluctant to post details about our...

    If you ask the Reddit or Facebook groups, it is because this place is toxic with posters being called out and shamed by people like Claude and Z too regularly. I mostly see people migrating towards...

    Trent,

    I understand and respect what you're saying, but why do teams feel the need to design to the limit, anyway? Making the wing smaller by a few mm to ensure absolute compliance is pretty easy...

    Thijs,

    That's some great information! I, too, think it would be interesting to see what kind of power teams are quoting for their stated voltage, as well as their actual competition weight.

    I...

    Thijs,

    THANK YOU! This is exactly what I have been getting at. The voltage limit should not be an issue for most teams, and I believe shouldn't be an issue for ANY team. Whining about not being...

    Thank you all for the comments!

    I believe the reason Adam wants to go with series strings that are then paralleled is mainly due to the fusing requirements in the rules. In 2011, we ended up...

    Daniel,

    Do you have any hybrid cars in Brazil? Are there any resources to get parts from those, if so?

    I'm not sure I agree with that line of thought, at least without seeing the math. Some things are simple like cables. Yes, they have to be bigger, that's obvious. How much weight does that actually...

    I don't mean to get too far off the topic, but ~300V has been pretty normal for hybrids. An interesting note is that many of them use boost converters to up battery voltage to the inverter. The older...

    As far as 8" tires go, mini-cups are no good from either Hoosier or American Racer. They are both way too hard. Hoosier will not do a custom run of them in the LC0 compound, either (Believe me, I...

    I may be speaking falsely here, but I want to say that EarthX has a battery with thermal protection, at least in prototype form. They do have a bms with under and over voltage for sure.
