We ran into overtemperature protection on the battery management system (yes for 12 V) on lap 19. Sad, but preferable to a fire.
I can't wait to read your reaction to the FSUK autonomous plans once they officially surface.
Meanwhile, here's a DASD, it consists of a Cane-creek double barrel, a threaded piece of aluminium, a...
A very unofficial points summary here:

Here is a decent overview of the axle.
Results so far:
8th design, 49 cost, 9 business, 7 skid (3rd best time 5.2x had cones), 15 the accel (poor for the car, has run 4.1), 4 Sprint.
Shoot any...
There are many ready-to-use systems: http://www.skf.com/us/products/vehicle-aftermarket/automotive/wheel-end/hub-bearings-and-kits/index.html
The one used in Lotus Elise S2 should be one of the...
I'd also like to thank you for these contributions, the Lund team will use this.
And I'm planning to test my own car, as soon as winter lets go of its crippling grip.
Classical mechanics teaches us that this movement increases the forces in the lower A-arm by a factor of however much closer to the wheel center it is. And a symmetrically spread toe-base like this...
The left one used inboard rotors, the wheels mount straight to the hub, see attached image. I don't recall the exact bearing number, but they are SKF deep groove ball bearings, you should of course...
We've had this solution for many years, it works well. Now I missed the "lid" in my quick picture-grab yesterday, but it solves both your points, stopping rotation and axial motion. It also...
I guess I have to stick up for my guys

How much scrub are you aiming for?
How does the negative KPI influence required steering effort?
There are lots of ready made products available for you to use, including recommended mounting configurations and so on. Here is one example http://isrbrakes.somee.com/products/brakediscs/ we've used...
It is also good to make sure that the catch can opening is pointing upwards-ish!
Please excuse my attempt at being funny, I'll try to provide serious input.
Yes, very desirable, are there negative effects?
A larger toe base may lead to a smaller distance between wheel center...
The only trick you need to convince Pat is: Large toe-base (say 100mm), large mechanical trail (mmm, self aligning goodness! (100mm) and give it a horribly large rear scrub (100mm?) for an acceptable...
I've seen hydraulic drive systems in BajaSAE. The accumulators are required to be at zero charge at the start of any event. I would expect the FSAE powers to enforce the same. Makes it pretty...
Will you offer your assistance in the design of the gearbox (CVT?) to couple the diesel to the flywheel? http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
We've also run 25mm for a long time, with 0 deg KPA.
A recent video of the tyre under load makes me question the accuracy and effect of our static scrub though:...
