- I became interested in the design features of RC cars and managed to build an interesting unique prototype. I used an old Tamiya F102 chassis as a base. I created and tested this prototype for a long time, a lot of rough work. Outwardly, it does not look like a masterpiece of design, but inside this prototype there are a lot of design decisions that can turn the RC industry upside down and redefine outdated standards.
The model in the video has an energy reserve for driving on the track for about 35 minutes. I think this is a good time for the pilot to take a break and change the battery.
This model has very low weight, very low center of gravity and very high energy efficiency, almost no heat generation. It also has a great weight/power balance. Inside the model there is space to change the weight distribution between the front and rear wheels.
Low weight can provide the following benefits:
1. Simultaneously with low weight, this model also has a much lower cost for the manufacturer (this is important during the economic crisis and low purchasing power).
2. Postal delivery to the client is also cheaper.
3. A lighter model will be more tenacious in cases of accidents and collisions on the track.
4. Less stress on the parts, less wear and more parts life, higher reliability.
5. Less tire wear.
6. Increased battery life due to reduced current consumption.
7. Instead of a heavy "brick on wheels" we have a technically perfect energy-saving, resource-saving, modern product. In the case of a low vehicle weight, aerodynamics will have a higher value to create additional vehicle downforce (ground effect). Tuning aerodynamic elements is a very exciting and creative process for a modeller. This is very fashionable today in real formula 1.
