SM96UK Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) Anyone know when, coz one of my models was in the top 7 XD Edited May 2, 2011 by SM96UK Quote
The Yellow Brick Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) Is this what your looking for by any chance. you might find some information there. I haven't been paying much attention to the Technic competitions so you might want to search the forums or ask someone like Dluders Also it's not really necessary to post all in capitals Edited May 2, 2011 by The Yellow Brick Quote

Brickend Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 From your description - "By raising the rear suspension, one can put more weight on the back of the car so the super can achieve high speeds as the traction increases." By lifting the rear end, the inverse would happen, more weight would be transferred to the front axle, undoing the natural tendency of weight transfer towards the rear under acceleration. Quote

By lifting the rear end, the inverse would happen, more weight would be transferred to the front axle, undoing the natural tendency of weight transfer towards the rear under acceleration. actually not quite, u see the front axle actually acts as pivot so it doesn't really affect the weight and seondly all the weight is in the rear of the model so when the rear is raised, the gravitational pull on he back axle increase and therefore the wheels grip to the surace better as the reverse force pushes them onto the surface Quote
Meatman Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Not to be rude, but what is it with builders that they feel the need to offer "Sneak Peaks"? I am seeing this more and more. Quote
Traktor Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 It is a bit stupid that we actually never get to see the whole car in the video. Quote
SM96UK Posted May 2, 2011 Author Posted May 2, 2011 It is a bit stupid that we actually never get to see the whole car in the video. no go on the website in the description for pics of the whole model, btw how about sharing some of ur models with us if u are so confident to speak about other models. ooh and answer the question pleez XD Not to be rude, but what is it with builders that they feel the need to offer "Sneak Peaks"? I am seeing this more and more. i dunno dude u tell me.... im a regular youtuber i've been makin these vids for a long while now - what's ur point? Quote
Traktor Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) I was not criticizeing his model, but the video. The car looks really good, and I am not capable to bulid anything nearly as good. So therefore I think it is pity that we does not get to see the whole care. I did not know that i could see more pics at that website. And if you think that the video was good enough why did you remove it? Edited May 2, 2011 by Traktor Quote

My view is the exact opposite of yours I think you are just using words when you say "the gravitational pull on he back axle increase" as gravity doesn't work like that. Lifting the rear of the car transfers a proportion of the weight forward whilst raising the centre of gravity and causing possible aerodynamic instability. I think you'll find this is why everyone would use aerodynamic aids to increase down force rather than jacking up the rear of their cars. Don't trust me, get a pair of accurate scales and try yourself. Quote

I guess my point is that I don't understand why some people think that anyone actually cares about some "teasers" for a model that they are working on. In fact the video that you posted of your "Master Piece" actually looks more like a sneak peek for it rather than an actual video demonstrating what it does. Quote
Zerobricks Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) No offence, but WTF are you guys babling about? Edited May 2, 2011 by Zblj Quote

In fact the video that you posted of your "Master Piece" actually looks more like a sneak peek for it rather than an actual video demonstrating what it does. oh really... too bad i already took the model apart XD No offence, but WTF are you guys babling about? i dont think u would want 2 know XD I was not criticizeing his model, but the video. The car looks really good, and I am not capable to bulid anything nearly as good. So therefore I think it is pity that we does not get to see the whole care.

And if you think that the video was good enough why did you remove it? oh coz it was distracting people - no one was answering the question XD Quote
