Now that you have everything out of the way we can get started on tuning this engine up. First you start with number one cylinder, which is on the driver side front of the engine, remove the rubber boot from the first spark plug and mark it with a marker showing its number one next take your socket and ratchet and unscrew the plug from the side of the head. The plugs we choose are pregapped so we wont have to gap them carefully install the new plug in to he head make sure you don’t hit the electrode on the tip of the spark plug tighten it to approximately 35 inch pounds. Next follow the plug wire that you removed back to the distributer and remover the rubber boot from that point match that wire with one of the new ones as close as possible mark that wire as cylinder 1 and mark the distributer cap where you took that one off. I like to continue on the odd side of the vehicle so we’ll head to cylinder number 3.
This allows the driver to increase the down force on the rear wheels while turning to increase traction. Additionally the wing is used to increase drag during braking. The wing is stabilized in the lateral direction with a link arm utilizing spherical rod ends at each end. While cornering the link arm failed, causing a tire to blow out. Stress Analysis An important factor to determine is how much stress the stabilizing link needs to withstand.
When you are learning to drive a stick shift car, you must know where the clutch, brake, gas, emergency brake, and the gear shifter is. Also always have a friend that knows how to drive stick shift for obvious safety reasons and extra help. First you walk to where ever your car keys are, grab them and go to your vehicle. Unlock your vehicle. Open the door and then sit in the
It’s like pulling your sled down the top of a big hill. You build up potential energy at the top if the hill and as you go down the hill it turns into kinetic energy. Like if your riding your bike or driving your car, once you start going down the hill gravity takes over and all that stored potential energy turns into kinetic energy. The top of the first hill is where the max for potential energy is. And as the coaster train goes down the first hill, all the stored potential energy is transferred into kinetic energy.
What you are looking for is how it rides. You want to start by checking the servo and speed controller. You want to make sure the wheels turn and that you can go forward and reverse. You can check the suspension and handling by making some sharp turns and going over bumps and small jumps. Next you want to see how it runs at high speeds.
If you want to reach higher speeds install the 23 tooth pinion gear that comes with the truck in the box. Both Monster trucks are equipped with the same frame, tires, shocks, body, remote, pinion gears and electronics. The Monster Truck bodies are the same style with the only difference of a circular hole in the bed of the truck for the top of the Nitro motor. The reason for this is the needed air requirements for the Nitro motor or it would not run. To run The Electric Stampede they will have to charge the battery then connect the power turn on the receiver and speed controller and drive.
Brakes. The Racecar brakes are cockpit adjustable bias, ‘spec’ calipers, steel discs. b. Chassis. The Racecar has a steel tube frame. c. Dry Weight.
Find the height of the track (illustration 1) from the ground to the middle of the car. Find the final velocity of the car by rolling the car down the track with the photo gate at the end of the track. Make sure the photo gate has been turned on. Use the equation PE=mgh to find the potential energy. m is the mass of the car in kilograms, g is (-9.8 m/s), and h is the distance fallen in meters.
2. You should see a switch with an off and on sign around it. Make sure that the power cord is secure in the outlet for the machine to properly turn on. The wheels will start spinning. 3.
When I got onto the track I realized all the hard work and patience over the winter paid off. On the pace lap, had to feel things out to make sure everything was good and nothing felt wrong, no part failures. The flag man waved the green flag that signals that the green flag is out and full speed practice to begin. The Whelen Engineering lights turned from flashing yellow to solid green. I grabbed the shifting lever and shifted into high gear and foot to the floor full throttle.
