Re: World's Fastest RC Car Contest
find the most efficient motor possible(gas or electric) and put it/them(if more than one is desired) onto the lightest, stiffest chassis possible.
Then make a body to go over it with a cockpit of some sort. I might lean towards a magmotor of some sort or possibly one of these- http://robotcombat.com/marketplace_motors_perm.html if you feel like going for an overkill solution. Perm-132 72 V Performance Peak efficiency: 88.6% Peak power:*34.3hp No-load angular velocity:* 3590 r/min Stall current:* 1440A Stall torque:*38500ozf·in Oh, and find some FM radio gear with good range Edit for random thought- Perhaps a flywheel based design would be worth considering. Spinning a 20-30lb flywheel to oh, say, 500mph(yes, insane, I agree) then transfering the power to some wheels and seeing what it does could be interesting. Things to consider- Wheelie bars Very Low CG front/4wd how long it'll take a small motor to spin something that weighs 30lbs to 500mph Last edited by MikeJ675 : 12-07-2006 at 23:48. |
