Indy cars

[Suicide]

Is there an indy car. or what company makes one.

 

[robmob]

What scale? Nitro, gas or electric?

FG makes a 5th scale gasser.
Tamiya used to make a 10th scale called the F201 that you can still get on ebay.
Serpent make an 8th scale nitro called the F180.
Kyosho makes a 28th scale mini-z.

I don't know about indy, but Tamiya makes F-1 cars. And if you have real deep pockets FG makes a bad ass 1/5 scale F-1 car.

I'm tempted to make my own. but i need to know how hard that is to do

My bad.

My list is for F1 cars.

 

[Suicide]

really Imo they are so similar that i consider them the same.

 

[NCNitro]

Technically cart and indy are very similar, F-1 is on a whole other level

 

[Suicide]

are formula 1 cars rpm limited. the indy cars i know can't do over 10,500 but the motors go to 12,800

 

[MGT8.0owner]

if you watch F1 you will see the engines reving to 19 000 rpm...pretty insane

 

[Suicide]

F 1 is rev limited to 18000. and can somebody tell me how the kers thingie works

really..i thought i saw 19 out of a couple cars in the last race...hmmm....as for the kers i'm not sure lol..i think it gives more power to the spark plugs there for giving bigger explosions in the cylinders creating more power..I THINK..DON'T quote me on that lol

 

[Suicide]

I've decided to not do this because its too hard

I'm officially derailing this thread since the author has abandoned the project.

The rev limit used to be 19k in F1. New rules for this year limit the engines to 18000 rpm. MOST of the KERS systems store energy as electricity obtained under braking in large capacity batteries. When put to use, the electricity is fed to a motor (an electric motor, not the engine Nascar guys ) that is somehow hooked up with the drivetrain to provide a boost when used.

The exception is one of the Bimmer teams which uses some sort of sophisticated flywheel to obtain or store energy.

I think.
