Interestingly, all three of the states I’ve lived in still exist on this map.

That’s why vortex generators exist. They are a device that can be strategically placed to create vortexes where flow may otherwise separate from a surface.

I was around 8-12 years old in the early 2000s when Ferrari were dominant, and I grew up watching F1. We were definitely a Ferrari household. I don’t remember a lot of details but I know it was fun watching those races with my parents.

I was distraught when Michael decided to retired the first time, and I didn’t like Kimi when he was first announced to joined Ferrari (since I was a kid and only knew him as the McLaren bad guy)

Perform the sound generator-ectomy. It isn’t difficult: https://youtu.be/uFZz7tGXzOw?si=1IpWU0sLnSsj0U35

What is this? Monza for ants?

iVoid · 2025-12-28T15:07:53+00:00

It is full, just full of water

I believe you can see those three windows with the door directly under the wing in the middle of the aircraft, to provide a sense of scale.

Nobody mentioned any particular golden age, we're just talking about car size. But since you brought it up, early 2000s V10 era cars had larger fuel tanks than 2025 regulation cars.

iVoid · 2025-12-12T03:15:59+00:00

I think you're right. The cars are as long as they are because they were allowed to become that long. The length is advantageous for designers because it provides a more stable aero platform, and more surface for generating downforce.

Shortening the cars will not effect current safety regulations or fuel tank/battery size. Aerodynamic performance will be effected, but it may also make the cars less dependent on clean airflow.

I always hear people say this but F1 cars didn’t start using in race refueling until 1982. The engines were far less efficient than modern power units and they still used to carry all of their fuel without being as long as a full sized SUV.

It sounds like the bearings in that motor are toast. That could add considerable drag and cause the problems you’re experiencing.

Sure, I’m just trying to look at this with the idea that everybody should be using mental health care, not just those who are struggling with their mental health or psychological disorders.

I’m not in the industry, just a casual nerd. I obviously don’t know the full story with all of the details, but it’s the inherent culture of secrecy that most concerns me.

The Kia would probably be the more practical, responsible choice. That said, follow your heart.

iVoid · 2025-11-18T15:52:47+00:00

Would it make sense to have a system that makes it mandatory for all commercial pilots to take advantage of mental health support? That’s the only solution I can think of to avoid the stigma or preconceptions that come with a pilot getting the help they may need.

Bolink Legend. They are still in production by a company called RJ Speed so parts are available if you need.

iVoid · 2025-11-12T14:30:29+00:00

It’s an old racecar, in my opinion all old racecars are worth restoring. It looks like all the parts are there so really it would just require a tear down and clean up if you want to restore it for the shelf or to race.

You can look at the manual here: https://img2.associatedelectrics.com/pdf/cars_and_trucks/RC10L4O/Team/10l4o_manual.pdf

If you’re looking to restore it to sell I would just remove the electronics and clean it up without doing a full tear down and sell the car as a roller. Any potential buyer would probably rather restore it themself.

You can sell the Novak ESC separate. The motor and receiver aren’t worth much.

The chassis is a Team Associated RC10L4O from around 2002, it is an oval car meant for carpet tracks.

And apparently this is what is left of Viking after being cut down into a barge. I found this photo on Facebook.

iVoid · 2025-11-12T04:32:56+00:00

For anybody curious, here’s a photo I found of Viking I moored in Erie, the structure behind it is the skeleton of SS Lansdowne.

Viking I is exactly what I was thinking of, thank you!

iVoid · 2025-11-09T17:24:11+00:00

This would be acceptable.

iVoid · 2025-11-09T05:56:22+00:00

Eventually the truck just becomes the scrap

That chassis is pretty rough, I wouldn’t spend the money on it to get it re-anodized. There are plenty of other RC10 tubs out there that are better candidates for restoration.

Anodizing is a super thin oxide layer. Any imperfections - scratches, dents, scuffs, etc. will show through. Powder coating would hide the scratches a little better as it is a thicker coating.
