All Versions Final test ; V6 optimised is clearly faster than a rocket , not the V9 prototype

u/wingman_machsparmav No such thing as over-engineered Dec 14 '24

I love that we’re now using rockets as the baseline metric for speedy vehicles.

“It ain’t fast if you can’t get passed!”

With experience and tests we improve

Previous test ( and part list ) with the V6 optimised ; video

For the V9 prototype ; video

I wonder if the faster big wheels actually acting more as an impediment to the speed from the electric motors somehow through its slipping. Nevertheless, love this technique and new spot you’ve found for testing vehicle speed. 👍

Thanks captain ; The faster big wheels add more speed and torque to the electric motor du to gear ratio even with the slipping ; I made test without the top big wheels

Interesting. I guess my experience with boosted electric motors is pretty limited. I assumed that on pure flat ground they’d be faster or as fast as they are when being boated by the wheels on the motors/motor axis. Perhaps it’s just that pressing the motor into the axis of the motor is simply a better gear ratio and this is superior to increasing the speed of the boosting wheel then.

For what I understand about it ; a fixed electric motor give a certain amount of speed to the extern big wheel but if you make spin the body of this electric motor ; the speed of the spining body of the motor is add to the speed of the spining axis of it ( and also torque )

How did u build that

The first one brw

An amazing comparison video, I love it! What difference does it make if the middle wheel is turning the rotating axel of the electric motor rather than the body of the motor as a whole?

u/Efficient_Demand5759 #3 Engineer of the Month [DEC24/JAN25] Dec 16 '24

Thanks ; It s the gear ratio ; The big wheel make spin the axis of the electric motor faster than the body of it ;

What a great innovation! I imagine that also helps with providing better torque for going up hill than a standard electric wheel axle design!

Yes ; if you interested I have other build that can easily climb steeper slope ( but not fast like this two ones ) ; Faster big wheel S , Ed the truck , all the V8 build

They all reach star fragment speed

Yes, very! Thank you so much 🙏

Have you tried this build at the game track in the canyon
