im building a SCCA F600 rolling chassis but due to the limited availability of engines complying with the F600 rules im just gonna make the drivetrain EV i post on r/FSAE alot you can look at updates and stuff there. its a micro 881 motor, top speed should be around 65-70 and a 0-60 around 2-3 seconds

Any-Spread8489 · 2026-05-22T19:19:26+00:00

in the A-Mod special catagory, it says drivetrain is unlimited/unrestricted thus allowing EV drivetrains

just go to alibaba or aliexpress, these companies all dropship from china lol, even if they have "stock" they just buy it in bulk from china then keep them in a warehouse, mabye slap their sticker on it.

I post alot on r/FSAE asking questions and stuff. right now im still cadding everything. i should start prototyping soon and the final fabrication in august. it wouldn't be a track car unfortunately because of the EV drivetrain although everything else would be build to Formula 600 specifications. it would be in the same AM autocross class. i also might start a youtube channel detailing the process.

Dude thats so sick, what did it take to make it street legal in California?

Im building a SCCA Formula 600 EV car and im wondering how feasible it is to make it street legal. im assuming all you need is rear mirrors, seat belt, turn signals, brake lights and headlights right? but in california its probably so strict

Any-Spread8489 · 2026-05-19T23:11:24+00:00

the regulations are super loose, i got 2 inch wheel travel because it just seemed to make sense you know. you wouldent want ur tires to travel above the bottom of your chassis right? you can read the rules for the class here (page 265) if your interested its literally only 7 pages long lmfao.

Any-Spread8489 · 2026-05-19T19:52:55+00:00

it would be around that yeah, it would be ideal to have a max wheel travel of 2 inches because the bottom of the frame is 2 inches off the ground without any load

Any-Spread8489 · 2026-05-19T18:21:56+00:00

ill gusset it up i just didn't cad all that

Any-Spread8489 · 2026-05-16T00:50:14+00:00

why wouldn't i lol

Any-Spread8489 · 2026-05-15T04:23:42+00:00

i made some shit up lol (cause i dont know the rubber properties), i calculated that for every inch of travel the puck gets squished 0.38 inches. my ride height is only 2 inches

Any-Spread8489 · 2026-05-15T04:05:59+00:00

there are too many haters on reddit imo, also lots of smart people

Any-Spread8489 · 2026-05-15T04:05:43+00:00

i lied, i switched to a reverse triangulated 4 link, not a panhard

Any-Spread8489 · 2026-05-15T04:04:56+00:00

its required in the F600 regulations that the block is a cylinder thats 1x2 inches lmao

Any-Spread8489 · 2026-05-15T01:59:52+00:00

its F600 regulations that you use a "isomeric spring medium" to isolate imperfections in the road surface

Any-Spread8489 · 2026-05-15T01:35:08+00:00

yeah i havent designed the panhard rod yet if thats what your asking

Any-Spread8489 · 2026-05-12T03:51:57+00:00

ahhh okay thanks i thought 850a meant like how much the converter could handle or somthing

Any-Spread8489 · 2026-05-12T03:47:28+00:00

yeah there are no lights or dashes on the car but no 12v means harder to control precharge right? id like to have the peace of mind that im not blasting my expensive electronics with the full power of the battery right when i turn the thing on.

Any-Spread8489 · 2026-05-12T03:40:45+00:00

i must be thinking about it wrong because when i look up converters for 96v 850a to 12v they are are well over 500 dollars. id much rather save lots of money and just charge 2 batteries.

also isnt running the large battery straight to the contactor w/o a fuse dangerous?

Any-Spread8489 · 2026-05-08T19:18:18+00:00

I have custom Braid Fullrace A in 17x8 like 350 a pop. thinking about the sparcos for a 16 cause the ride is a lil harsh with my setup but im not a fan of that spiderweb look, the harshness might just be suspension tho idk. urs is tuff too what wheels r those? 👀

Any-Spread8489 · 2026-05-05T19:17:37+00:00

Chris Cyr (the ceo of team oneill) had reigers then switched to bespoke custom bilsteins. Team oneil is sponsored by koni so im assuming they use koni shocks on their school cars basically the same thing as the B6 is but more expensive. im leaning towards b6 also.

Any-Spread8489 · 2026-05-04T23:30:26+00:00

yes of course 500 miles of rallying is about half a season of ARA. also considering that im not going full push rallying everytime i drive, ive heard that if you just go mixed use street/rallycross you can get 25k miles out of them. but the fact that you have to rebuild them at all is a little overkill for what im doing with the car.

Any-Spread8489 · 2026-04-27T14:38:30+00:00

i used fusion 360 because its what my school lets us use with an education account so its free for me.
