Hi Alan, No I definately won't be driving, far too fat and heavy. Mark will be driving, now on a starvation diet to keep his weight down, thinking of chopping his left leg off to save weight as its only used for the brakes! :rofl:

Brakes!? Pah!
Well seeing as mines front wheel steer and brakes, and there is now weight at all on the front, I dont have either! All engines mounted with throttle actuators, just need to wire it all up and sort out a fuel tank, hopefully full test run tomorrow :uhoh:

Same as always :proud:Quote:

Mines more or less done, a few tweaks to do. Went to go for a test run tonight but two of the throttle actuators seem to have stopped working, so need to look into that, hopefully something simple!

Looks good Alan
Have you worked out the theoretical top speed - RPM of motor - gear ratio and wheel diameter?
omg he's fitted a nitrus kit to it :shock: :shock:
Lol, no nitrus, not that brave, although did thik about it, maybe next year! Theoretical top speed is 50mph. Do need to fit some sort of wheelie bar/wheels, without me in it, it almost balances on the back wheels!
50mph!
You crazy Roboteer
Don't forget to do your :uhoh: :uhoh: :uhoh: crash helmet strap up tight!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Yup, and seeing how the front wheel does all the steering and braking, and that has hardly any grip, will be interesting! Will never get full speed due to air resitance, friction etc, think they should have a speed trap on the course as well!
