Re: Motorsport, Racing, The Future
Well, I wonder when we'll get the inevitable Spec Tesla class. If you don't know what "Spec" racing is, it is about seemingly identical cars (Though there can be the tiny differences) that are supposed to be closely matched. But of course reality intervenes. I believe the Spec Miata is the...

Re: Build pack onto and around frame tube, rather than inside?
Sounds highly vulnerable. It can be hit from all sides. You cushion them from the frame for both vibration and impact, but they can be split apart. Then a good hard cause around the outside, not just a neoprene sleeve. Just sounds dangerous having that beam in the center. Maybe you need feet between...

Re: Motorsport, Racing, The Future
How would av EV tackle the “Cannonball” record ?.? :wink: Battery swaps. Think of the coordination. Think of the number of swaps ! What is the range of a Tesla “S” Plaid at max performance ?..100..200 miles max ? So, 3000 miles,.. 15+ battery swaps each taking 10+ mins....2.5 - 3+ hrs downtime . :s...

Re: Can Tesla converted to diesel?
I think we need a better idea of why you want diesel in a Tesla. An expensive car that seems like it would be downgraded by what you're talking about.
It should be cheaper to maybe build this. https://rqriley.com/product/urba-town-c ... ric-plans/ Bigger motor is good. Better generator.

Re: Motorsport, Racing, The Future
If the manufacturers want to sell cars to the offroaders, they won't build driverless. Let's see. Buena Park Raceway is slot cars, yep, electric. Cal Raceway is RC, probably both gas and electric. OCIR closed long long ago, but it's on the map? Team Gordon is Robby Gordon's shop and NOT a track, but...

I don't know how much noise came up as a concern with tracks in SoCal, there is still the track in Irwindale.

I've looked extensively into this and not found any fatal flaws with using PTFE other than the environmental considerations. It was interesting to read tufoil's website. The question is of efficacy. I remember it used to be something like 50 times the price of a quart of oil. And nobody can prove i...

Air brakes as retro rockets. Why not just do speed brakes such as on airplanes? All you need is flaps that pop up and create friction to spoil the laminar flow and the car will slow down.

Some companies make teflon based lubricants meant to be used in automotive oil, power steering fluid, gear boxes, etc. Ever heard of Slick 50?
