I'm not an aerodynamics expert either, but I am an aerospace engineering student who is big into race cars and I might be able to weigh in a bit on the aerodynamics. I think the current body you are using produces a lot of lift, we can see a pretty good side view of the body at 13:25. Lift will be generated behind the driver pod and behind each of the wheel wells as the body slopes downward. This produces lift by creating low-pressure vortices behind these elements which will suck the car off the ground thus producing lift. Real race cars and road cars alike run into this issue as well (If you've pushed your car you feel a pretty distinct moment where it becomes very uncomfortable and skittish at high speed, this is the point where the car is producing enough lift to make it very light relative to the ground and it feels very unstable). Race cars offset this with increased rear and front wing angle, which is trading drag for downforce, but since this is a high-speed car obviously you don't want to create a lot of drag. You should look into getting the lowest drag body you can find and focus your downforce creating elements on the bottom of the car, taking advantage of side skirts, venturi tunnels, and huge diffusers which real race cars are banned from using since they create a ton of downforce and very little drag. If you want to stick to this more traditional LMP looking body you can help manage the lift biggest lift generating structure (the pod) by using a thin vertical wall that runs from the apex of the driver pod to the wing, this is what modern LMP cars use if you google "LMP car" you'll see what I mean. I'm loving the project, I cant wait for you to smash the record!

Those ESCs are more expensive than al of the rc cars I own combined

Kev: "MORE POWER!!!" **Jeremy Clarkson has joined the chat.**

Imagine a guy like this as a employee at a hobby shop!!! That would be amazing

the sellers of the new ESC are now super happy because finally someone was crazy enough to buy their bomb, eh, ESC ....

I really want to see that thing going 200 mph and not crash! Hope for the best!

I have been running MGM for over 10 years now and they are awesome. Martin at MGM is a pleasure to work with as well. When I first made the switch he took the time to face time me and go over all the programming settings. The amount of settings on them are insane especially when setting up for boats. Good luck man …….

I really like how practical you work on your projects. By taking everything easy you really keep hold on your drawn fun and hobby line. Respect

World record holder: aerodynamics and engineering Kevin: MORE POWER!!!!!!!

Im not sure what's faster, this rc car, or me coming to watch Kevs video 😂😁

Great video Kev, you can do it. Love the attitude. Looking forward to the next installment. Thanks for sharing. John

Kev, I appreciate your sentiment in making this series as you are - Adapt, improvise, overcome. I appreciate how you understand it will take time to do this. What we here in the comments, the engineers of us anyway, are just trying to help you see what obstacles are coming along and to prevent them, or at least know what to do when they do arise. With the amount of drilling and modifying, you need to get this chassis re-made. The holes will weaken the chassis, and with the amount of power you are adding, you WILL end up with chassis flex. It will accelerate so fast that the back end will squat down and it will flex in the middle. One way to prevent this is to make it longer. A longer chassis will add to the aerodynamic stability, mean you can use longer venturi tunnels, utilise a diffuser, create side skirts too, keep the weight far more centred. You could even incorporate largely closed wheel arches to prevent air build up within the body and shape the tub directly behind the front wheels to move dirty air from tyre squirt away from the underfloor using a similar concept to Formula One barge boards. I'm not great with CAD or CAM, but there are people out there who could design and 3D print an updated chassis to utilise so many design concepts. One wrong move with the chassis, one hole too big, one ESC mounted too far out, and it's game over for the whole project. Your chassis or tub or whatever you wish to call it, is what everything else bolts on to, so you need to get it right.

$2000 worth of power later... Kev: "nnNNEEEEOOOOooowww!!" Also Kev: "Tumble Wumble!" Also, also Kev: "Awww, what happened??"

Me: 3s should pack quite a punch. Kev: 30s!!!

Kev is the reason my grown backside bought. Typhon 6s and started tinkering with it. Kids and parents come up to me in awe!!! Can’t wait to see you smash the world record with this. Thanks for everything man

You explore every RC-er's dreams of if they had an infinite budget. Love you and your videos, man.

This car would quite literally "go to the moon" if jumped off a ramp. Lol

Kevs spent more time on this than he has on his monster truck 😂😂

Look forward to see how it all turns out... got faith in you brother ..will and determination at its best 👍👍

Dear God, those ESCs are MONSTEROUS! Might be fun to see one of those put into one of your X Maxx trucks ;)

Keep it up at this rate no one will beat you ever 😂

I have to say I was skeptical at first but this project does look more and more promising as each video gets uploaded. But I do think kev you're getting caught up in the moment and not thinking about how to expand this idea in the future. You need to test these Ideas as soon as you put on modifications like the new ESC's or the new plastic chassis because one wrong move and it is back to the drawing board,I get that glue needs to dry but the same principles apply (not a hate comment just trying to help)but I think you also need to fix other problems, for example friction if you have seen my previous comments on this project you will see my concerns regarding the problem(once again and I know you didn't ask but I'm just trying to help I think we can all agree we want to see that RC car break the world record)

You'll do it kev, the worldrecord will be yours... I'm so excited for the next clip with this car.... Hopefully u can use the hole runway in time

good luck buddy. will be here to see you do it, i got faith

love this build cant wait to see this thing smash the record

Me: I’m running two 4S batteries. Kevin: Hold my Beer!

looking good kev cant wait to see more of the car have a great day

You’re awesome brother definitely learning a lot about R/Cs watching you and your character is hands down! Luv keep up the epic work looking forward to your next video 😁

When you make the next body keep the rear wheels covered

This dude said that the wheel speed is 600mph. Next video: "My NEW Project 600MPH RC Car".

Thats Crazy! congratulations! Looks great

Quality project. Cant wait to keep an eye on this. Keep.the content coming

With the effort you're already putting in, Kev, get a whole new custom chassis made up. It will make things easier to work on, it'll look better and it'll be more beneficial, I think. I'm enjoying your progress with this project and already looking forward to the next update on it. :-)

13:53 600 MPH? That’s crazy! You should leave those motors in and demolish the world record!

Wow, great build Kev. Can't wait to see you break that speed record. Good luck.

Looking good Kev, can't wait to see the next video on this machine 👌.

You don’t know how long I have been waiting for this...

I would most definitely take the current record holders advise! All of those bodies you have will not be better than Nic's body. Make a body like his and you'll have an awesome chance! Those ESCs are crazy huge! I hope they work for you. Looking forward to seeing it go VROOM VROOM or go BOOM BOOM! LOL!

I live vicariously through all the cool stuff you do lol, thanks kev

Love the custom plastic work Kev 👍. Where there's a will there's a way. Excited to see more testing 👀😎💪👊👊

Mount the wing to directly to the wheels so that all of the down force goes to the wheels and not shocks. It was banned in all professional racing because it was too good

i highly recommend front canards and a steering stabilizing gyro. cant wait to see the outcome.

This is the coolest build I have ever seen

I love to watch you work

Kevin: Spends thousands of dollars on esc’s Also Kevin: uses a screw driver handle as a hammer 😂

Idea: find solid rubber wheels with carbon fiber rims

No matter how bad of a day I might be having or how depressed I might be I can watch a handful of Kev's vids and feel better.......cheers from Bama

I can’t wait to see the test run that thing is going to fly 💯

Somebody else is trying to get a world record too.... We all know Kevin’s is gonna be better

Kev, I have serious ESC envy!!! Those are the formula 1 of RC... MGM and Lehner motors.....😍 The only motors that are above TP...

I can’t wait...GOOD LUCK BUDDY. If anyone can do it, you will!!!

I have followed you since I got into the hobby and you are truely a legend mate! Love your entusiasm and the content you provide. ❤🍻👊 Wish you all the best with this project and looking forward to see you break the WR! Keep up the awesome work bro!

Kev: this thing is going to the moon Are you jumping it?

hi fan of yours from Philippines

Keep up the good work Kev! Definitely gonna follow this project.

I love this style of video Kev! 👍

“They only cost a couple grand”

Awesome Kev, loving this project. I would be open to advice from the current record holder though, even if your design is in a different direction.

A guy by the name of Matt Marshall from Ottawa, IL (USA) actually did a very similar setup as this using the exact same ESCs shortly after they became available, and used German, Lehner motors directly driving spools as this also--and while I don't know what the current speed he is at, the last time I saw the project he was producing a central motor mount for a solid fuel rocket motor to assist the electric motors. Really, no joke. The rocket motor can only fire once before requiring a new one, though. Very expensive per top speed run. He said the rocket motor would arm if all was going correctly in the run, and then auto-ignite at a specific speed once armed, taking the vehicle to maximum speed (or possible destruction)! I'm going to tell him to contact you, some how, as your projects are very similar.

I definitely can't wait to see this monster move.mind blown .🤯👍🔥💪

I did some math and that beast now has 68 hp!

That’s gonna be an expensive crash.

I am so impressed with your drive and ambition! At the moment I am converting my Arrma Granite into a Lawnmower and its hard work.

You have a lot of commitment for this which is very good

May I recommend a drag strip? When in doubt get more esc’s and S’s. This is going to be so awesome👍

Just leave the plastic chassis off until you’re going to test run it instead of taking it on and off bro

Coming along nicely there Kev.

This is going to be one big fireball explosion hahaha just playing around mate can't wait to see it run

Such a troll. "You can't call it a 30s if its a 15s so I'm gonna call it a 60s" lmao!!

That’s a pretty expensive power system! I guess it takes money to go fast! Lol 😂

Finally the record car video. U don't tell us how we need to do our jobs to get our rc better and u not judge. You do everything by your way and thats what I want to see. That's why I like your videos kev!

Loving this build alot kev. What a weapon 🤘

Anyone else getting a "monty python holy grail" vibe from the time lapse? 👇

Has anyone paused and read the email he sent kev ? Nick case Seems a bit salty..

I faqin love this build!

Awesome video kev and do your thing thats why we watch you😁

Hey Kevin don’t forget to contact the guinness world records people/ official 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻you will do this mate 😃😃👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

60 cell! This thing is going to the moon!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 thats why lm here 💪💪💪💪

Good luck Kev! The only advice I have is balance every thing. And foam high traction tires. Like the 80mph 1/8 scale GTP nitro cars use. Air flow & Downforce like the 100mph outrigger hydroplanes use. You rock brother!

Ur a mad man kev and i love it. I actually believe you're going to get this 😎

That thing has more power than my car

I'm going to get the monster truck done soon. Spends 2k on esc's

Lmfao, those esc's are like a transformer from a welder. Your insane! I love this channel.

looking forward seeing you BEAT the record. enjoying the process.

Hey kev, did ya get a discount for wearing there hat 😁. Can't wait to see how it goes, Really looking forward to it! Wishing you the best of luck

I don’t see a “Tumble Wumble” t-shirt.

this madlad is doing it, I'm calling it

I think this is cool and you deserve zero hate i love this series

When’s the next speed run coming

Reading nicks email, it seems like he doesn't want his record taking. He seems a bit jealous that your not doing all nerdy workings out and just shotgunning it

This is what I've been waiting for! Can't wait till next episode!

"Look at those BATTWEES in the BATTWEE COMPART-WIT!"

Lol 60S.. my god that's gonna go!

lmao way to make it seem like Nic got in touch with you. Clearly the way the email reads, you got in touch with him first, asked for help, and now you're saying naaah I'll do it myself. WHAT?

love your videos kev keep it up

Hey Kev it’s all coming together nicely my man. You got my vote for the record. I have noticed a few speed boffins in the comments. Some good ideas flying about but after watching you for years I already know that you are going to do it your way. That’s what makes you unique. Good luck bro.💯👏👏

I've always wanted a rc car but I can never afford it

Great job on the bottom skid plate.

It's going to be awesome Kevin!! 👍

Whoa, that locked up diff from Scorched is awesome. I've never seen anything like it.
