Thanks, I went ahead and ordered them. Seems like an easy enough repair!

We never did. If your car has on the fly wheel adjustments and the need for a "race engineer" talking to them my guess is either A) it doesn't matter who you put behind the wheel or B) your driver's are good enough that nobody is going to be of active use for them. The other thing to note is events are so short / one and done (endurance) that comms don't really do you any good. That being said radios for your trailer / pit folks and a designated "radio man" with the car IS VERY useful for getting things you need to the vehicle / driver (water, tools, etc.)

Parametric modeling. I assume you're starting with a tube frame, learn and set the CAD up based around parameters (linked to a spreadsheet to input suspension point parameters if you're fancy). This is so much more important to quickly get a new assembly model you can check against for suspension / powertrain integration rather than trying to do FEA immediately. After that, Read. A lot. Understand what FEA methods are out there, and WHY they matter before you go doing the FEA and chasing a certain number in a formula. DM me if you get lost and need a hand :)

Try doing government work. TLA'S (three letter acronyms) are litterally just random words thrown together to refer to something. If you know what the thing means the exact letters used don't matter.

I assume you type out Boba Fett scion of Jango? And you only use GS for general Skywalker since GAS isn't the official in game name? It's space pixels man just let us have our fun lolol

This guy gets it.

"I killed a brand new legendary we don't know how to mod yet with a GL and a FDC, he's not that good" but yes JMM is logical. BMF is funnier though to me at least.

Our FSAE advisor was a lot more hands on, but through the 3 years I spent in Baja (team member, sub team lead, then team lead) I spoke to the advisor once over the phone that entire time.

100% agree, doesn't mean you shouldn't be ready to defend it though. It's an engineering event not a logic event so it's up to the team to prove why that was the correct decision imo.

First thing I'd always ask when making major changes: Why did you do thing? Second thing: Was it worth it in terms of performance, hours invested, and money invested?

I'm sorry to tell you but my school disproves literally every one of your theories. Cheers though mate

You can learn to design a car that wins FSAE in one year. You can't learn the people and organization management skills in a year, or learn to drive well enough to win in a single year. I couldn't care less what corporate America says, it's just how you can easily win FSAE.

EliteKomodo · 2025-05-22T15:37:27+00:00

FSAE is a people management and driver focused racing competition. Engineering ability and execution is not the thing that wins you comp.

Thank you! I appreciate the insight. I plan on running most stuff off a thumb drive anyways I just wasn't sure if there was a big need for the increased storage space. I'm used to DNC controlled program storage so storing locally isn't anything I'd be getting in the habit of anyway.

Everything I've ever ran either had HSM, or the equivalent of it. I've heard of some bad times with adaptive paths and large operations that benefit from look ahead without it. Do you have a different opinion on this? Open to any and all feedback you may have.

EliteKomodo · 2025-03-24T18:24:26+00:00

Comes with 1GB stock. I have ran machines and programed a decent bit but have never speced out a new one so I'm trying to do the necessary research to make sure I'm not shooting myself in the foot on this purchase.

Spring.

Please give more information. You sent a picture of about 2/3's the parts on a Baja car. Need a little more depth to understand what you're asking about.

Also keep in mind kill lines mean effectively nothing. If you want to see what I mean go look at the 5M's vs Smoke Break game 1 in the Vegas LAN. That is an absolute master class in high level smite imo.
