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??

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
