Take your welded aluminum steering knuckle to a foundry, and have them heat treated and hardened to T5. I know of a good one in Seattle you can ship it to. I have had them do suspension parts for my race car.
Thanks for the shout out on my Volkswankel! It IS a riot to drive, after Hillfest I increased rear track width by 4 inches, trailbraking into a corner is a widowmaker, but I'm dialing it in.

#ROB, my guy. Make the exhaust a pipe-in pipe with air gap. For the little effort it takes to make one (caveat, for an experienced welder) and the little space loss you get from it, it gives back A LOT. In case these aren't as popular as i think they are, i'll admit, i've only seen three cars here in Europe, it's easy to make. In this case, i'll detail for a straight piece of pipe, but it follows the logic for elbows too. You start at a flange, then weld 3 stand-off pegs, and tack your outer pipe over, on those three pegs, spacing it equidistant from the inner pipe. The outer pipe stops before the inner pipe needs to meet another segment, so you can weld the inner pipe. Each new outer segment gets 3 new pegs to space it. You keep doing this until you're out of the hotbox. You can do this with forced air (the gap is fed to a vacuum box and as the car moves it sucks the air out through a cold intake that feeds in the outer sleeve) or stagnant air. The stagnant variant gets coated, as heat will eventually leach. The gap can be as small as 5 mm or more. This idea evolved from old school race cars where they'd take chicken wire fence, wrap the exhaust, then wrap it with cloth. The gap was enough to keep temps low. You can try that too, to start with. I believe one of the old British F1 race cars from the mid 80's had this, but i can't, for the life of me, recall which one (essentially you look for the thick exhaust one).
2:27 I remember hearing Ron Dennis from Mclaren saying how they always learned more from their failures than their wins. I work in design and ever since hearing that I actually get exited when I find errors like this because it means I'll improve.
I need to see this car in Gran turismo, I'll never realistically be able to have one like this irl but at least in Gran turismo 7 I could get to experience how this is to drive
So your outer bearing race doesn't spin in the hole ever gain, get the bearings with locking features and then machine those receiving features in your parts. It will pocket you more, yes, but it's worth putting a square peg in a square hole, because you know it will never spin short of doing some really funky, funky stuff. You can find them as "pinned bearing" - but that's just one type of bearing with locking features. Some even have flats. IN your case, you can remove the dowel pin and replace with a hardened screw with a pin end, that will lock the bearing in place after you've installed it. I would not try to machine a bearing race myself, even if it seems easy. Best to leave it to the engineers, because they did the math and know exactly where they can and can't fit those pin holes. Just my 2 cents. Until i discovered that you can have pinned bearings, i had so many steering parts damaged over the years. Given the simple solution, not worth even bothering with classing bearings anymore.
Just like how every time we see Rob weld I gain a little more appreciation and respect for how consistently brilliant Isaiah is, seeing Rob on camera duty makes me appreciate Joel a lil bit more each time too
Rob… this car is incredible and I know you were on a time crunch, but please for the love of god make this a completed car. For the most part at least. This car has so many sick systems, which means a ton of wiring. Consolidate all of it, put a dash on, and paint the w tire interior/engine bay with Steel-It. It makes the build so much nicer and it’s really not that hard to do. I know you’re still developing this car, I get that, but the appearance of this car matters. Especially to event hosts and potential sponsors. I know these cars aren’t cheap by any means, but it would be cool to see you buy two more rollers (decent ones), and completely start fresh with the 3 and 4 rotors. Do it right from the start. Hope you work out the issues you’ve had with some of your crew. Like you’ve said, attention to detail and truly caring about your work is what ensures safety/parts working properly.
Do you think that “keeps” is keeping working more on good hair or his beard? I mean to do that in every episode. I don’t care if they they are past or present, the man can grow hair.
Rob , I have been following you for years, love your videos. And I really appreciate that you show your failures as well as successes. And how you work through the problems. And probably just as important, the chemistry between you and Isaiah. The rest of your team is good, but how you and Isaiah work together is on a completely different level.
You gotta do your pre race walkthrough. You're in a car that is unimaginably fast and still in a refinement process. Knowing the course is super important especially when you are pushing the limits of your ability and the cars durability. I love watching you win but would settle for just watching. You get what I'm saying right?
put kaowool around the egate. its the insulation they use in forges you can have a torch to one side and be able to touch the other with your bare hand. and its very light.
If you have more trouble maybe make a chamber slightly bigger than the exhaust to slow down the exhaust gases then well fins to dissipate the heat with the atmosphere right before the wastegate you probably don't got room though but that sure significantly lower the exhaust temperature it shouldn't affect performance just a idea. But if the temperature doesn't drop enough for some reason try to adding a little bit resistance much less than a converter and that definitely will accumulate most of the heat in that area so it will be dissipated
I saw the voltage drop when you test fired the first time. I was thinking o boy new alternator. I hope he looks at his dash and not the computer.😂 I'm glad to see it was short. 😁👍
Y'all are amazing fabricators, but I have never seen anything even vaguely resembling an attempt at fume extraction when you're welding stainless. Please take care of yourselves, it's less of a big deal in an open shop setting like yours, but hexavalent chromium is still scary.
Rob it looked like you were having so much fun than you were immune to the car gremlins. Really great to see you in this mindset Rob. No urgency, just ironing out all the things to get it absolutely perfect for your next Pike's Peak run 👌
Hey Rob you guys should machine out the bearing housing and press in a steel insert into the carrier so that the bearings are flush with the same material for the bearing and therefore reduced temperature difference and tighter interference fit?
Awesome too see you enjoying the progression of yr team, an some content as well seems like I don't see much of yr blogs/updates anymore......... Thanks Guys
I was literally in that bucees like three weeks ago for the first time. I had a shit eating grin on my face the whole time, the whole world needs bucees
Always had the same issue with our oval sprint cars. Take the o ring out use some superglue, and glue the oring in the grove. And huse a hose clamp around the filter. Just a small tip. Love your videos
Rob have you ran Clearviews oil filters also we went to at time I worked foe komatsu and had free range at a parts department so I found a hydraulic filter that was cartridge for a small dozer wit like 4 times the filtration availability back in early 2000 late 90s when I was building and racing rotorys
Those electrical gremlins may have given you a ton of extra work but they've also saved you a ton of money and likely saved your life a few times as well. Thank you for bringing us along on your incredible journey.
Have you looked at remotely locating the gate electronics ? Does it need to sit that close to the mechanics ? I have a BMW with an electronic gate. It uses a long shaft to control the mechanical side of the waste gate.
Gawd the off throttle noise this car makes is just insane. Sounds like a Gundam landing or something. Wild. Bummer about the oil filter failure! At least you got some runs in.
One problem with high specific engine power density, which is to be controlled both analogue and digitally, is the sensors that record the usability values. For example, the injection timing in high-performance diesel engines, such as those from Sulzer, is precisely controlled using cylinder wear and piston ring metallophone sensors. In addition, there are magneto oil sensors that can measure iron, nickel, cobalt and their oxides in the engine oil. These measured values control an ultra-fine centrifugal filter that cleans the oil. The fine cleaning of the operating oil is carried out by gravimetric sedimentation. For this purpose, there is a clarifying auxiliary oil tank that contains magnets at the bottom and generates a strong electrical DC field in a vertical direction for perfect cleaning. Ein Problem bei hoher spezifischer Motorleistungsdichte, die sowohl analog als auch digital geregelt werden soll, stellen die Sensoren dar, die die Nutzbarkeitswerte erfassen. Beispielsweise wird der Einspritzzeitpunkt bei leistungsstarken Dieselmotoren, wie denen von Sulzer, mittels Zylinderabriebs- und Kolbenringmetalophonsensoren präzise gesteuert. Hinzu kommen Magnetoölsensoren, die Eisen, Nickel, Cobalt und deren Oxide im Motoröl messen können. Diese Messwerte steuern einen ultrafeinen Zentrifugalfilter, der das Öl reinigt. Die Feinreinigung des Betriebsöls erfolgt durch gravimetrische Sedimentation. Hierfür existiert ein Klärhilföltank, der am Boden Magnete enthält und ein starkes elektrisches Gleichfeld in vertikaler Richtung die perfekte Reinigung erzeugt.
he does other stuff besides working for Rob if i remember correctly. but he's probably dealing with family medical stuff that was mentioned in a previous video. was likely one of the big reasons why Isaiah was working on teaching the other guys during the build up to pikes peak so he can take time off.

Soo.... Just a thought.... What if rob built a slipstream aero kit for the 4 rotor, rebuilt motor for one run, I'm talking 3k hp. Nitro meth. Port and manifold injection, possibly a pre ignition mixer, and go to salt flats for top speed run. Mabey suspension tuning or complete change to torsion bars( I know it's alot of work. Even the body would be great work. But I think the 4 rotor with right transmission and rear end, fuel system and tuning(witch I know he can do) without body work the thing would probably fly at 250 mph. Add aero body and suspension that can work with body and undercarriage I can see him hitting at least 285.
cant believe how hard it seems to build a good working race cars, you always have an issue of some sort, great that you still have fun, i would be frustated a bit, good job looking for more of that car
Don't remember if it was mentioned on previous videos but can you not switch to a canister style oil filter that just uses the paper insert? Love all your videos Rob. Can't wait to see some more on the 12 Rotor.
don't detract from pikes... i been up it.. but i get it. I have similar kit, (not as big) love making and watching others do the same.. great work !! amazing

Descended out of snowshoe on a bicycle while touring the Eastern Divide route. Overheated my disc brakes on that steep smooth road. Makes sense to race there.
As I mentioned before, I'm looking forward to the next step of ‘simply’ making sensible (flow) calculations as the basis for such a comprehensive project. ‘Just going for it’ inevitably leads to a lot of crap that doesn't work.
I really feel like this car full tilt up this hill climb course would just be absolutely insane. I honestly don’t know if you could do it. It’s seems like it would be so crazy you would forget to breath during the race case it would take so much concentration.
Might want to do some testing before you go back to pikes peak, should you need to add the radiators back in. You can add fans in front of the radiators pushing the air in while the fans at the back suck the air in. (Push-pull)
Can't remember the fancy name but have you thought of moving the turbo outside of the engine bay and have it further rearwards with more space around it? Run the exhaust towards the rear like normal but the turbo is in the boot with a charge pipe running back to the front?
