Hello all. Apart from audio types of things, I take a lot of joy in driving well setup RWD and AWD cars. My fav to date has been a Lexus SC400GT 4L v8 that had been set up by MINES for GT racing but then imported to AU and registered as a road car. Could show a clean pair of heels to most GT3 cars and turned heads
These days I lean more towards light weight and mechanical performance and attracted to the idea of kart type electric/hybrid cars and hope for regulatory changes allowing things like E-Cycle cars in the traffic. I am making an attempt at fitting something in between the clauses for road use
This is a reverse E-Trike project that I detailed in the Bass Shelter thread. I would have rather an E-Quad cycle, but the regs only support heavy weight for 4 wheels. The reverse trike format is to get around that and fit the cycle car under bicycles and tricycles section for legal road and beach use. I will develop this into a high quality vehicle with balance, handling and agility.
From a very early again, I have been very attracted to low altitude flying. I made and flew my first hang glider at age 12. Never quite did anything with it until about 4 years ago when I got into GEV or WIG and attained almost complete detachment from the water as the target for that craft. I am attracted to flying about just above the surface and skimming and such so an ambition is to develop a water craft based on my E-trike over time to attain complete detachment from the surface by the use of forward and rear wing foils
The Hyper car racing class in the World Endurance Championship is amazing, and the inspiration for some bodywork and aero will come from them. The dream is to have a nimble ultralight that can bank into turns in the air or on water, and also run along the very long sandbars and beaches here. My current Smartwave 3500 has been able to nail this on the water and almost in the air where it can take off to ride the peak of the tall chop with mods to the motor height and using COG well
Most of this will be done at 1/5th or so scale RC model as STEM projects for my daughter before we attempt full scale flying, although the chassis design is ready as the E-trike is a current active project. The RC scale chassis is actually built as and will also be an e-trike for the kids. The bass shelter thread has this one as a subproject due to wear some subwoofers
This kind of thing
These are where my interest lies these days with motor craft and motorsports. It would have been awesome if there was a go-kart track in our area. There is one that was abandoned years ago
Would love to hear from you folks about your interests in motor craft and such. Anyone building a racer? RC? Did anyone follow the WEC? I didn't follow it but have been catching up on the rounds while recovering from burns and about to watch the final round at Bahrain. Following Toyota. Lost touch with F1 and others
