Hope everyone had a great Christmas.
Work on the spreadsheet has been slow, I've been beta testing the clutch force calculator and been researching a better differential, in the case of the clutch tool there's no real use as engines have different powerbands even with the same setup and so it's useless to determine theoretical friction. The ideas I'm pursuing are a better clutch and better differential.
I can talk about them, I'm open source:
- H.clutch is a clutch one can change shoes and springs without forcing anything or using special tools. The shoes also use a new spring that never make contact with the clutchbell so the shoes are used till they turn ~99% into dust(slight exaggeration). I can release it as a kit to use all the standard clutch parts except springs and clutch nut.
-H.diff is just a LSD diff, I'm still designing it. Also I'm aiming to be compatible with almost every diff on the 1/8th market and be different to the Kyosho LSD diff which is going to be very difficult as the Kyosho diff works theoretically.
-H.body, a line of bodies shells for certain cars(primarily to ugly cars, like Tekno lol), focused on durability and clean looks. No aero gimmicks even if that means mores sales.
-H.piston, as you see with the spreadsheet the gap between front piston hole diameter and rear shock piston hole diameter is big and most manufacturers don't have enough choice, that's when the H.piston enters.
The other stuff is about custom 2.4GHz receivers and transmitters.
Next days I'll share what I've learned with you, translated to simpler terms. First will be kick up and anti squat because it's a very gray area.
