It's not related to anything in school right now, just that I'm really into cars and the teacher wants us to pick something that interests us...
Wheel base is 12 1/2" center to center and overall with bumpers is 22".
I don't think it is an F1". It's a Traxxas 4x4 model.
I can't build a loop de loop larger than about 3', so I am limited. Varying the speed to see the results sounds good.
If 3' will not be large enough, I think I need to scrap this idea.
Thanks again.
Thanks. I did mean "minimum" because I don't want to have to build it larger than required...but I do understand that too large would not work. I'm doing a science experiment for my 6th. Grade class, and I'm going to vary speed, weight, tires,etc
I need a general rule of thumb or simple formula to determine the minimum radiius required for an experiment. I have a 2.4GHz remote control car that reaches about 45 mph. If I begin at a certain distance from the loop at ground level, how large will that loop need to be? The car measures 19"...
