Lesson: Don't let aerodynamics make you it's b!tch.

Gravity has already done that! Every time I fall I now say thank you mommy.

Im working on fantasy 1972 race. The AI in this game is just horrible so there is a TON of tweaking I have to do to them to get them to drive in a believable manner.

That's awesome! I debated doing the front Firestone logo like that one!

 

[bradwsm]

1/2 done! On the cup holder aerodynamic debate, on the real car and here its where you put fuel in!

I could feel the door close. So nice!

I had to monkey around with for a few hours with multiple trips to the hardware store to get it right! But it works.

 

[Denny]

But you didn’t tell us about the cup holders or show us them. On a serious note the kart looks really goood!

not to be that guy but why not use a subaru flat four mated to a small transaxle?

 

[Denny]

Because a Hybusa engine costs big bucks as opposed to a Goldwing engine. Also it probably would not scale too well.

There is absolutely nothing "crappy" about anything featuring this vehicle. It is an astonishing work of art. And a flat 6 is the perfect scaled down engine. The collective world is sitting on the edge of our seats waiting for the day this drives out of your garage.

i definitely don't deny that, im curious as to the sound

Sorry guys I didn't know there was any responses here. A Subaru flat four is big, heavy and complex and as stated above the Goldie is exactly half the original (even though the scale of the car is not half). There are a lot of videos on YouTube of straight pipe goldwings, sound more like a porsche but still sounds good!! I will get some "cup holders" shots just for you Denny! While I was waiting for some glass to cure I mocked up the Tyrrell p34
