Loved the more formal style - less shake cam is always more good! Congratulations on the world record! That's a significant and fantastic feather in your cap, even if you might feel that the car was capable of so much more. Older and wiser you will be for your next attempt ;) I'd love to see version 2 of this car. Not sure whether steering was an included component of this build, but adapting the 'take off' or auto-recovery modes which I believe are built into RC aircraft such that you can hold the car in the middle of the runway could be helpful. An AI algorithm with a camera to assess position must be available somewhere, because how you'd steer the thing at 200+mph I just don't know. The results also speak to incremental improvements - did you take measurements of crosswind speed and have you measured how far that pushed you off track? I'd also love to see your take on active aero and ways to keep the car pressed down onto the track once you get to the point where you need solid tires. As discouraging as the final result was, I'm sure you're already itching to rebuild and get back out there...

I don't quite understand why their 137mph run didn't count since the footage clearly shows the nose cone came off AFTER it passed the speed gate. Do the rules say that it has to come to a complete stop for the run to be over?

@@aaronmicalowe I’m assuming so. If that wasn’t the case someone could literally just make a missile with wheels and record the max speed it reaches, even if it tears itself apart after.

Congrats on record! All the progress you made here was great, and there's definitely room for more. As a suggestion, aviation uses check lists to avoid missing important steps. A list of each step needing to be done when preparing the car probably would've caught the missing screws. Including weather conditions might've stopped the final attempt as well. When doing a failure cause analysis, it's never just one thing, and failures can be an opportunity to identify process changes which are capable of eliminating entire classes of failures in the future.

@Nick-hm9rh 10 ай бұрын

The single most important part to remember is, youre probably the weakest link. The car doesnt forget screws, you do. The car doesnt device to drive in bad conditions, you do. A list is a great way to somewhat support that weak link

@williamstrachan 10 ай бұрын

@@Nick-hm9rh that, and modify the design where a human error can cause critical failures so that human error no longer happens. Like, if missing those screws out resulted in catastrophic damage to the car (through a crash), design the nosecone mount to require fewer screws, or for the car to be unable to run without them fitted.

@@WestonNey You would think that from how we dampen cameras on fpv quads but I experimented with dji on my Vendetta and the best/most tolerable video to drive with came from having an aluminum bar hard mounted to a carbon fiber center brace with the camera hard mounted to the aluminum bar above the roof of the car. I tried tpu flexible mounts like we'd normally use on a drone and it was horrible, no way you could drive with it. The biggest issue is even at 50-60mph you feel like you are hitting light speed and you kind of get tunnel vision and it's hard to see boundaries. inside a parking garage I was good because the walls formed an obvious boundary. Outside it's really hard to see low curbs when you are at speed.

The nice thing of RC is that you live to build the next one. Next time add vertical control surfaces and easy amplification of control signal.

From France 🇲🇫, wow what a big big pleasure to see made this record! Twice ! ( I don't care if your car turn into missile' speed is the goal !) 😁😁 You could be extremely proud of the seard and build that made you grow up far in the speed attempt! Very well done I put some tech in other msg.

Major congrats for your accomplishment! As so many others have commented, I was heart broken for you on that last run. It was a fantastic looking build. Looking forward to watching whatever comes next from you.

"possibly thousands of people watching on KZfaq..." (2 days after posting, 600,000 views). Congratulations, that was pretty amazing. I can't wait to see the follow-up car!

I came across this video by chance this morning. Great video and well done on getting a record. Your last video insert of Richard Noble took me back many years when I was lucky enough to see him test run his car (Thrust 2 I think) at RAF Culdrose. Reaching that 137 mph speed must encourage you to build another car and have another go. You’ve come so far, learnt so much it would be a shame to let that knowledge and experience go to waste. Go on, you can do it😊
