TRF 414 project 2011 summary
The car have been tested during the summer and the latest updates have focused around making the chassis more flexible. Material have been cut out from the main chassis to give more flex around the motor mount area. This together with removing all the transverse supports in the motor mount have helped in generating more grip.
For 2012 we are currently starting the design of two new chassis and top decks. The car will also be tested on carpet for the first time.
The aprox. cost of this chassis so far is as follows.
Base car Tamiya TRF 416X with the additional modifications
Main chassis and top decks 100 EUR
Motor mount 50 EUR
Pulleys and belt tensioners 75 EUR
Belts 25 EUR
