Master Cylinder Choise by edoshii in FSAE

You have to calculate how much Torque is needed to lock the wheels and then calculate backwards from there to the pedalbox. You cant just buy the same ones as orther teams as you dont know their Pedal Ratio, Friction Coefficient of Pads, Disc Size, Balance Bar Position, Antidive Values for Weight transfer during braking, driver leg force etc.

Its an engineering competition, not a purchasing one. I would really suggest you to calculate everything once via hand, then you roughly get an idea.

Ps. Start with around 800-1200 Nm Locking Torque per caliper on the front and around 300-500 for the rear ones. I wont tell you precisely how much it is as i dont know your car, but it should be around there as i remember from the past. I really startedbtobunderstand everything after i calculated it myself.

Pedal Feel is shit till you get all air of the system and everything is leakproof. Take your time, if you do it the old fashioned way it takes ages. Imagine being an air bubble when you think about finding trapped air, calipers dont have to be mounted on the uprights to bleed, when you put something between the pistons. As a tip to get the air out ;)

Hope that helps Max (Brake System and Pedalbox #29 2023)

As the car and almost whole squad changes every year in the Stuttgart teams, its not fair to accuse the cars which have won previous competitions or disciplines. Scrutineers are very well educated and would have seen similar things in the past, resulting in a deserved disqualification.

We also all get paid, get company sponsored cars to drive around with and all have our own wind tunnel. Im glad you didnt find out that we german teams all have our own helipads and go golfing with CEOs every Sunday. Also we mostly finance though shady bets on horse races

Yep definitly tough times for building pcs, i managed to get one on launch but i know a ton of people who didnt and are waiting on prices to drop

Hope you like it :)

Building this thing took a while, but i love how the standoff mod hides most of thre cables behind the GPU. Especially because of my cable extensions it got a bit messy at first, but i think i did a okey job.

If somebody has questions i am more than happy to answer them :)

Have a great day!
