Here are some videos from my latest event yesterday: FtQh6y_HUW4 2Iel9kCvx_4 lBh2q-moqPA kjLND2U10TQ

Hmmm I hadn't even considered your post terse. No biggy. When you say for and aft I assume you are referring to the for and aft movement of the handle? So in the first incarnation of the car I had the same handle with a single master cylinder applied equally to both rear wheels. It was intended...

All electronic driver aides are banned in my sport unless it was a feature delivered standard in the car through mass production. I built my car in 10 months on very limited budget. One of the reasons I was able to do that was because I opted for simplicity. I do have torque vectoring, but it is...

Thanks for the support and interest. Hillclimbs are super competitive and I'm not competitive at that level yet. I am a little under powered, my handling still isn't quite right and my brakes are unbalanced. I am consistently placing mid field. I am happy but not satisfied. I know I can do...

Here are some of my videos from the Noosa Hill Climb over the weekend. kH1hjenP-fY 8FtAjdIk0wE tGrP3-eylks

I can't wait for an update :-) It looks like the little brother of my project

Great to have you on board. Sounds like you will learn a lot (as did I). I am not totally familiar with Karts, mine is half way between a kart and a car. So I can't help with much other than to start a comparison of all the karts you can find and list all the components and their performance...

Its funny reading this thread for the first time without noting the date stamps. I see pictures of a new born and suddenly she is 4 years old lol. Anyway I love your project. There are similarities with my own yet still significant differences. I personally wouldn't go with the on hub motors...

That's great to hear. It's one thing to set goals but it can be heart breaking and demotivating if they become impractical to reach. So keep it flexible/realistic/achievable. One of the reasons you will find it difficult to find a definitive quote on what any motor will handle is because there...

I was just reviewing some of the earlier posts/discussion. I think in summary your estimate of 450KG and 300HP is a somewhat challenging combination and I suspect you came up with the 450KG without understanding the battery constraints? My car is 450KG and includes a 7Kwh portion of a Volt...

Nice, Just an idea, but maybe keep that diff and run a 4x4 low/high range transfer case. That way you get to choose the ratio depending on the purpose at the time? Otherwise you could de-couple the driveshaft from the motor and recouple them through a belt or chain drive setup. Then you can...

Here are a few videos from Saturday 4_37IdY2G5E EH-VH4-v8Lk tg7KLp6S7XU

I had a great day at the Mt Cotton Hill climb on Saturday. My results were not all that impressive but quite respectable for a first attempt. I did end up in the Macadamia nuts (quite an effective safety barrier) on my second run. This event has made me realise the "understeer" issue I had been...

Here are some photos from last week

Nice plan. Power glide style gearboxes seem to do a good job for those chasing straight line speed. If money were no object a bespoke dual clutch setup would be awesome too. But I suspect that is out of range for almost anyone. I think for quoting power anything around 75% is fair. And it also...
