    Default New NovaBlade build blog

    We are starting the fab of my new NovaBlade when we get back from the Runoffs. This will be my OWN car for me, Brian and my buds to race. Going to be a fun piece with everything we have learned from developing F500s over many years.

    The main goals of this update are simplicity, light weight and very low service requirements.

    Some of the changes:

    Wider chassis for my big butt.
    Standard low cost fuel cell
    MUCH simplified wiring
    New exhaust system
    New low cost data system
    Bigger Rod ends for lower cost and less maintenance

    I am sure there is more and will start posting pictures after the Runoffs.


    I love Chris Ross's car color and will have to do something like this color but obviously it will have to be crazy different.

    Well it's about time you started engineering by the seat of your pants again.

    It's good to hear you are getting in the saddle again.

    Default Inline?

    Don't suppose the PTB would allow you to orientate the motor inline like you tried once in F5? Thought that made too much sense. Shame they poo poo'd the idea.
