ZZSE FET MOD VIDEO: 35 degree climb video, wheels spinnin!

Crazydave,

Sure, you can post a full tutorial, thats fine by me.

As far as how it compares to uAs, I have no idea, but, judging from the videos of his cars I have seen, its identical if not really close..

Not like he is gonna come forth and tell us or anything lol..

Thats why I made up the hillclimb test.. To have something less *subjective" than speed.. There are so many things that can change the speed of a bit, but, the hillclimb really gives you a good idea of what is going on, and, regardless of the gearing and such, you can get up close enough to actually see how fast the wheels are moving and what angle is involved..

I think the best way to do the hillclimb looking back on it would have been to use some rough grit sandpaper on the surface of the incline..

I will prlly post another with sandpaper later on to decrease wheelspin, like maybe 220 or 300 grit would be good..

I'm glad this things finally cracked.
excellent job you guys.

Just some tips on maximum traction that I have found helpful.

For softening and cleaning the tires, making them stick to the road, I find that letting them sit in hot water for 20-30 seconds can soften them a lot, and wiping/squeezing them dry with a lint-free napkin or towel will help greatly.

For the surface, don't use sandpaper, that may cause the tires to rip and wear out a LOT quicker. Instead, make sure you have a HARD, smooth, flat surface like plastic or wood or something, and make sure to wipe all the dust off it, wash it and clean it (like mopping, or whatever), and your tires will grip that road and never let go.....unless you pick it up.

A pair of tires for the good of science? Sounds like fair deal to me, I'll cough up some tires if he needs them.

cyborgzero, thanks for the giving the go ahead on a tut. I'll be sure you get props.

And I agree, from the videos, and descriptions I've seen, I'd have to say this is the same or very close in performance.

Sand paper would work great, but I think it could cause some resistance<sp?

I'll try mine out, but with a different set up. Clean pullback tires (nothing stickier) and freshly cleaned glass.

Those 2 together are stickier than anything.

Agreed. Maybe I'll try it that way.

So...got any results anyone? I'm interested in how this mod compares to micro_Amps version...anybody?
