And down the rabbit hole we go! :laughing-rolling:

Sorry Dave , didnt mean to get the lads all excited over your secret invention giving tri torsional
progressive dynamic compression to the transfer points instead of using the traditional useless compound pressure responsive unilateral stabilizer unishaft.
I wont ask again promise .

ps I wont mention the bilateral frictionless vibration dampers to remove chatter and add power to, the wheels while limiters control, the torsional aspects of the torque limiters.

COOL :) Just plain cool.

Very nice Dave, it will look great in the 100 Anniversary Indy Proxy.

I am familiar with the torsion chassis. I have referred to mine as Don-flex chassis as a club mate Don, TF1250, builds cars that way. My GT40 for the F/F proxy had a version of it, but I built it way too heavy and replaced it with a podded chassis instead.

I remember a contestant in the Sprite Proxy on SCI made a chassis that was similar, but the front and rear parts were held by a single piece of piano wire soldered tight at both ends. The actual torsion of the wire allowed the car to flex. It seemed to work well.

I like your Halibrand inserts for your Indy car. I made a set by cutting down the plastic wheels from a Rev/Mo Daytona Cobra coupe. They will be good for my Paxton Turbocar, but I am also cutting a set from a Fly Chevron for the Lotus Turbo, as they are closer. What size are the wheels for those Halibrands? Do you have some for sale?

I finally ordered my Indycals for both turbine cars, so I just need to get up the courage to wreck, err, apply them and those cars will be ready to race.

Cheers,

Keith

That's a beauty Dave!

Very nice!

It must be a blast cruising that around the track!

It IS a blast. This is another series that we will build more of. I regret not many photos of it in action as I was kind of running around too much. But I had some late night and early morning laps with this car and a "blast" it is.
