nevermind.... i got one

Hey guys, I'm an alumni of FSAE and am currently looking around for a welder thought I would see if anybody is looking to upgrade and willing to get rid of thier old one. We used a dynasty 200 DX but...

screw em into a 1 foot bar, put a bolt through em and spin em on a lathe at about 500 rpm. Takes about a minute a peice. At least thats how we've done ours the past few years.

we made a flow bench with it last year to test out actual flow numbers on different intakes we've done in the past. This year we're gonna be using it to get physical data from accelerameters and shit...

I know a few teams will take the university special, yank the gears, and make a new housing for it that allows sprocket/brake rotor mounting.

that number seems a bit high to me.... unless your running a god dam huge wing.

I'm sure someone out there has designed a system that will break a 1/4 inch rod end on the inboard side.

If you did the calculations and everything came out alright, as one of our alumni always...

we just had a thread about this a day or two ago. I would try searching.

when we set up an accel event in our test area at school last time, we were lucky enough to have the campus police around, so we asked them to clock us throug the trap. I forget the exact distance we...

what clearance are you talking about? Between the pad and rotor, you'll have a few thou i guess, depending on how far out of round your rotor is(leading to pad knockpack).

The loads you'll see in shifting depend entirely on if you unload the engine or not. If you run a properly opperating and timed ignition kill you can see shift forces in the 10-15 pound...

alan: a few other specs need to be known before anyone can agree or disagree. Whats your rotor size(need to know braking radius), what torque did you estimate to lock up your wheels, what pedal ratio...

we start in 1st and shift to second and third

They make two different calipers to fit the rotor thicknesses because right now, if we let the pads wear down on our brakes, we would probably pop the pistons out of the calipers. They give you a...

we currently use the dynalite singles designed for the 9mm thick rotor, on 4 mm thick rotors. Haven't had a problem yet. Possibly if the pad starts getting extrememly worn down we may have a problem...

just use carbon fiber.....

you can do adjustable pedals in a number of different ways. We chose to do a setup that has our pedals on two c-channels. The opening of the channel faces the ground, and just slides along square...

I can only answer to number 3, and that is, if its tuned correctly, you don't waste a whole lot of fuel. I'm sure sequential is slightly better, but we only used 1.11 gallons for endurance. If the...

unless your running a live spindle, i don't see how you would get it to rotate on the chassis side.

Most tires have a certain number of heat cycles you can put them through before the compound starts to harden. This is basically like buying a harder, less grippy tire. So yes, performance is...

Just a note on the accelerameters, we have 3 built into the PCB board for our dash, and while they do come in very useful for data logging and figuring out what the car does on a normal basis, I...

i think most teams assume around 1.5 g's for the michigan parking lot, but some teams have reported right around 2 g's from formula student. Appearantly the track is much better.
