a motor on a tubed chassi cant really be compared to a full road car, stick that motor in somthing of a similar weight and just laugh at how much it sucks.

still pretty cool tho, racing from a roll, lol

i'd hardly call this "mind blowing"... just look at the power to weight ratio. I'd rather a full bodied car with all the luxury trims and still be damn quick.. than that kit car with "free" air conditioning :)

another aussie tryin to make a buck in america... tsk tsk

another KIWI inventing something amazing in the motor world... much like the guy who invented the jet boat and Mr. Britten who made a motorbike in his shed which was years ahead of its time.

the power to weight ratio isnt that much better then a Ferrari or the Porka and as stated its based on the Atom which is a road legal car.

the batteries in this version weigh over 250kgs alone from memory... id definately have one as a nice weekend track toy.

Power to weight advantage where????

Porka GT = 605BHP and 3000lbs

Aerial X1 = 300Bhp and 1500lbs

wheres the advantage? its at a disadvantage by my calculations as it has less then half the power but half the weight

dont like the way they compare it to full size cars, y not compare it to a Hayabusa or R1?

probably cause its not a motorbike?

so if they invented a mini that ran 10s from factory they shouldnt compare it to s super saloon?

its merely to show what you can achieve using alternate fuels. A point that seems to escape most people. The car is ELECTRIC. Performance electric cars are few and far between unless you count that ugly 600kw 6 wheeled japanese thing.

Exactly what inark said, the point of the clip was to examine the potential of alternative powers sources other than fossil fuels. One day there wont be any petrol to burn and we'll all prob be driving these 11 sec things. Another thing to consider is the price of petrol versus plugging your car in the wall for a few hours. As time goes on and technology progresses the weight on the batteries will come down aswell as provide more power.

Also there is no advantage, the power to weight is about the same anyway, WTF are you guys on??

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
