Annoying that I can't see the pictures, as I'd really like to see what you've done with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love the stance and the modifications on the tail, especially the extra carbon fibre fences. Perversely, given that you have cut the kick-up wing right back to reduce drag, they make it look like the high-downforce version of the 962 that Porsche introduced for tighter tracks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stew_mac 326 Posted November 28, 2019 Did a little work to the under tray. I'm waiting on some 5mm hex for the front and 7mm hex for the rear, then i can trim off excess. Then on to the battery holder. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grotty Otty 868 Posted December 3, 2019 @stew_mac excellent work, following with interest. One question, how do you cut your carbon? I've experience of carbon handle bars which I've always cut down under water or with a mask and goggles with a hoover fixed to take away particulates. Looking forward to seeing just how quick it goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stew_mac 326 Posted December 13, 2019 While the TRF is going faster, the car that started it all is still getting upgrades. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stew_mac 326 Posted December 27, 2019 Some parts have arrived to rebuild and improve the TRF speed run cars. new mamba monster X to replace the mamba monster 2. the main improvement is data logging so i can now get some idea's on what the motor and esc are doing. Plus some alloy center pulleys so hopefully they sone disintegrate this time. Then finally some new belts just incase. Now the car is ready to go. I just need a couple of hours to try and make a pass. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
