What a day at castle Combe showed pace for top 10 during in practice but unfortunately are motor could not take are gear ratio which resulted in it burning out meaning that we had to retire

Thank you to all our sponsors

Today we visited the Greenpower centre in Westergate, where they had some old successful karts from previous years.

This weekend, we completed our final chassis model in PVC, and then coated the joints in fibreglass and resin, making them very solid. We built some jigs for holding the building materials in place while we cut them. After that we cut our carbon fibre tubes for the outer frame and glued the two halves (top and bottom) separately but not together. We also looked At the wiring of our new cnc lathe; which we will use to construct are rear hubs.

We built a model of our design in PVC, however we thought it was longer than it needed to be, and also our original design had two long pieces, rather than one single one, so it was less strong. We changed our design, and rebuilt on the 19th complete with model seat and floor tray. We then realised that we would need a larger back end to fit the motor and batteries; we plan on building this on the 9th January along with jigs to hold the kart in place when we glue it. On the 3rd January, we 3D printed some prototype connectors- this will be cheaper and lighter than buying them, and we plan on using them just to hold the carbon fibre in place before wrapping the joints in carbon fibre tape and coating them with resin to solidify them.
