    Excellent back story on the construction of a winning car. The car looks great and knowing the work that goes into the making if a winning car is invaluable for everyone in this game.

    Can someone explain me how putting weight infront of motor on pod affect driveability?
    These types of videos are realy helpful, thank you all.

    • @idwurks

      Martin, happy to. Adding weight in the center of the car helps dull the reactivity of the car down. It makes the car more predictable, linear, and consistent. If the weight moves further forward from the “center” of the car, the weight makes the car have more steering, or rotate more. Essentially the more weight you add in front, the less rear grip you have. There is a bit of feel and testing involved, but if the car is sliding out back first, you should try to get more rear bite. If the front of the car is popping out, add weight in front, or reduce rear grip. Does this help?

    How do you make those rear Sloting Plus coated axles fit better? they do seem to be a little larger with the coating?

      It was a bit of a tight fit, but it fit ok! Not using NSR parts on it right?

      Ian has down a few multi part vids on setting up a car for championships in his @idwurks channel.
      So there is a possibility he could do another if he has recorded the process for this car. Ian's response here gives a better link to his channel.

      I wish I had the bandwidth to make those videos for every car - but they take a good amount of time to plan, film, edit. I hope to do more soon. The rules often don't get released until 30-45 days before the races, so to order parts, plan videos and do all the testing/editing etc with a full time job is tough. Hopefully I can figure out how to do it all more efficiently :)

      Understand, I have tried the chassis overnight and will report back after I hit the track for testing!! Appreciate your reply as well!!

    Driver or car? I think it was combination of luck and skill in Todd's defence. What did Todd drive?

      Viper GTR 🐍 It was truly just luck at the end of the day. At any point, anything could have been different and the outcome reversed.

      Is the red pod as good as the new green pod?

    • @idwurks
      @idwurks Před 3 měsíci

      @@subhumanaudio they are totally different. The green pod wasn’t legal for this event, so it’s not easy to say which is better. The premise behind the green pod is pretty cool, but we haven’t worked on them much yet to get a solid answer.
