Just do what Lotus do. Paint job, a couple of little changes and claim a few extra seconds have been gained on the downhill course. New costumes and put the beer and soft drink on ice. Job done!!!Ferg wrote:Looks great Campbell! Looking forward to build updates.
We move house on the Friday before RDSF so the updates to our cart are going to be very limited.

Re: Soapbox tech
Ours is the same base chassis (a la Elise family) but with uprated wider rear end (a la Exige V6). So I guess you could say we are doing just that, Steve!

Re: Soapbox tech
Ok, just remember it's aimed at kids, this is not the Red Bull Soapbox Challenge
Also - request from our Team Principal - can there be some marshalling at any "obstacle" this year to stop spectators making chicanes tighter or ramps higher! Ta!

Re: Soapbox tech
Not to worry Campbell, the route offers 2 options, the jump line and not the jump line, so its up to the driver which one they take.campbell wrote:Ok, just remember it's aimed at kids, this is not the Red Bull Soapbox Challenge

One of the actions from last year was to better police the obstacles - all in hand.

The Special Edition approach, great idea Steve.

That will be a good improvement to stop the course tightening like it did last year. Marking bale positions on the ground etc
Re: Soapbox tech
We've stripped back the rear of Mk1 and now have a draft no-weld solution for installing the bmx fork set
Work halted for the weekend due to end of term shenanigans but hope to cut some trial brackets and x-members early next week.

Re: Soapbox tech
Rear subframe dismantled tonight and measurements taken for new x-member to carry the pair of BMX forks.
Hope to have a running prototype with temporary parts by the weekend. Big ask...but time is marching on and workshop opportunities are scarce!
