  • James Whomsley (UK), known for his “backyard aerospace engineering” RUclips channel @Project-Air has set a record for the fastest speed achieved by a remote controlled (RC) jet powered car.
    James’s car reached the blistering speed of 152.50 km/h (94.76 mph) and said that this was the “most stressful, draining, and heartbreaking project” he’s ever done.

      He achieved 137 mph, it just didn't count since the car lost it's nose. So it absolutely is possible to get it much faster, he had bad luck that day.

    94MPH! - I will tell others 137 :) Woo Hoo!
    Rossa inspired me to engineer a set of high speed tires. I used 3" ID silicone car turbo tube (5mm thick w/ 3 ply reinforcing) as tires. Cut to 1.5" W rings and Glued them to 3"/2.2" 1:10 scale SC truck wheels. I would recommend 1:8 scale 4" wheels for your projects.

    Well done, you got the record... What you need to do now is look into point of pressure and point of thrust. Add caster to the steering. and also look into overall aero. have a good look at world speed record machines like Bill Fredrick's rochet car. Golden Arrow, Thrust, Speed Demon.....They're all that shape for a reason.

    Congratulations James! Great to see you finally got the record. But I´m wondering why the drivers stand is behind the model at the starting line, rather then in the middle of the track distance? Is it due to safety regulations or competition rules?
    There is some competition with electric rc boats in Germany called "SAW" where the pilot is placed near the measuring section: ruclips.net/video/SCywrCH-Ujs/видео.htmlsi=HwynhlXYyJ9w7IiL.

  • @billsmith5166
    @billsmith5166 Год назад

    James, the nose is not a good choice and there's way too much rolling resistance in your tires especially with the downforce the current nose is generating. Scaled for that track they wheels/tires need to be very narrow, hard and fairly tall. You shouldn't need that much downforce in the nose (perfect aerodynamics would be a teensie but under nose lifting, though you won't want to be QUITE that close). I'm sure that you've seen the Bloodhound SSC (pretty much perfect aerodynamics for a rocket car) and that would be an EXCELLENT basis, but at this scale you'll need a wider stance (not the body, just the wheels) and taller wheels/tires because the scale surface that you're running on is MUCH rougher and bumpier than the salt flats. A larger diameter wheel will bridge a lot of the roughness. Tall thin wheels will also act as vertical stabilizers, and you won't have to enclose them because the rolling turbulence that they generate will be negligible. Looking forward to checking up on you. Good luck!

    Seems a bit slow. I would have thought a jet rc would be faster than the out of box Arma rc cars. Some are breaking 100 mph +. Some of the faster electric are nearing 200 mph.
