I had someone throw a Molotov cocktail from an overpass at me heading Northbound on I-5 near Portland back in 2011. It hit the ground in front of me and I drove through the fire, luckily not taking any damage to the tires.  After filing a police report I had half a dozen news reporters show up at my home to get a…

It goes back further than Oblivion - the high playtime memory leak issue, in particular, has been around since Morrowind. This problem has existed in the Creation engine since the start, and has never been fixed as it is pretty much at the core of the engine.

The electronics alone on this car are worth the price and knowing John, this car would be worth every penny even without them. I think this was Blake’s old car from Primitive Rally before John picked it up.

Some of those welds are ugly as hell but I’ve gotta say... the fact that you picked up the gun and didn’t blow holes through the sheet metal and give-up on the job speaks to your natural talent here... excellent work!

Given the 3S motor was used in just about... everything motorsport related for a decade or more in 503E form, I’d say it was more than adequate.

Got one of these last weekend. Luckily I went inside as it was a horrible mess to get it all mixed with the whip cream. Ordering a double-shot in a cup confused the hell out of them.  Tasted great, think it ran around 1000 calories so not exactly an everyday morning coffee.  I don’t know if it was worth the trouble…

A friend of mine had one years ago. I offered to do an oil change for him because he wanted to learn how. Never again.

“The downside is greater wear and tear on the gears themselves, which race teams don’t really care about, since that’s just the cost of doing business.”

Standard passenger car handles are intended NOT to snag in a rollover accident to keep the door closed/secured.

The harnesses used by female pilots and motorsport drivers is usually a pair of 3" wide or larger straps which kinda just mashes everything down where it needs to be for safety... just like it would with heavier drivers and their bellies.

You can, in-fact, see how worn your brushes are - notice the spring terminals and how deep the recess is for the wire that attaches for the brush?  Now notice how far outward the actual wire is inside the recess?  With a new brush, you’ll see this wire located much further outward when it’s assembled.

That appears to be debris from the brushed motor wear, which is normal on a brushed motor (though it is usually vented and self-cleaning).  The reddish color is a dead giveaway.

There are plenty of countries where what you are advocating against is already law, where things like Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Press don’t exist in the same capacity. I agree with TheDankLlama and will expand on it a bit: you’re welcome to move to any one of them.

Then again... maybe not - what transmission does this thing run anyhow? I only heard like 2-3 downshifts the entire race.

I suspect the audio is actually from the camera - you’re hearing the straight-cut gearbox more than anything.  You can hear it at distance on Le Mans cars and such too, but the engine is a little overpowering in those cases.

I would imagine the fact that the pilot and owner of the helicopter were both ID’ed by the video will be putting the former out of work soon.

As one of my own engineering rules of thumb I’ve learned through experience, one big pump is rarely as efficient as multiple little pumps.

I’m an electrical engineer that actually has experience working on open-wheel electric competition cars and I’ll just comment that this is a problem that all EV have in motorsport - be it from the charging, discharging, etc. cell balance and thermal concerns are ALWAYS something that matters.

Not even close - driving on a race track competitively is physically punishing as well as mentally draining.

Aren’t the angular accelerations there to increase the effective G-forces?
