Looking forward to seeing how it goes in Sept, that thing looks mad

Hope you've got good brakes .... or are you going for all 3 wheels off the ground when you hit the peak of the hill

Emily's just figured out how you're getting to the top of the hill

It's a winch isn't it

Tie it to a tree at the top and off you go

scary indeed - you want to hear this thing going along at full pelt

Like the winch idea, might use that as a back-up plan

Project C5 was fantastic, really good job. I think if you can go on and develop one with more of the original C5 workings, but with that sort of speed, you would be able to sell a few kits Karl

Many a true word said in jest matie

....Dave and I might just have a small winter project in mind - you never know what is going on behind the scenes

After building "challenger" and thoroughly enjoying himself in the process, I do know that "electric Dave" has certainly got the C5 bug and is already talking about doing something special again for next years Brooklands event

As i missed out on seeing 'Challenger ' in the flesh, i just wondered what exactly did you do to make it that good at hill climbing, or is it a secret

No secret mate - just a much bigger motor (with fan assisted cooling) and chain drive conversion , coupled to a much stronger chassis holding two larger batteries , all put together by a genius called "electric Dave"

Plus the driving skills of our very own "The Stig"

They have taken the video down - what was it ?

Karl · « **Reply #28 on:** 05, October, 2009 - 16:39:46 »

The "smokin' " link was to an advert for "The Mask" movie

Not sure why it has been removed
