Arman 2015-2016, 2015-2016 FSAE Racecar Savage, Uncategorized

After some late nights, we finally got Savage up and running again just in time for a track day. Last weekend, Anteater racing went out to lot 16H where we set up a skid pad and an acceleration strip to run some last minute tests before the design for the next generation of Savage starts. All is well until the first acceleration test where we notice that the rear rotor was jammed and started smoking. Despite a couple burns, we fixed the issue and got it up and running again. The fastest skid pad time of the day was 5.8 seconds, which is extremely good considering one of the wheels had positive camber and another one lifting off the ground. There is a lot we learned that day. We learned what we need to adjust for us to get a 5 second skid pad time and that toothpaste works wonders on burns.

We will be having another track day this Sunday 10/18 at 9AM. Come join us!
