Formula E Race Car

This is a 1/24 scale replica of the Spark Racing Technologies SRT_01E, a high-tech electric vehicle designed for Formula E World Championship competition. Electric cars differ significantly from traditional open-wheel vehicles due to their unique powertrain characteristics. Cooling requirements are lower with the SRT_01E's compact sidepods positioned farther back on the chassis. Drag reduction is a key aspect of the design; the simple, low-angle wing configuration directs airflow around the tires while wedges channel air towards them. The tires themselves feature a tread pattern but are non-directional for increased traction. Notably, the SRT_01E's wheels are oversized compared to typical open-wheel vehicles. Print one model each from all components except the wheel pins (2), large pins (4), and front and rear wheels (2 each). For enhanced structural integrity during printing, use support structures when printing the tub, wings, and steering wheel. A separate version of the front wing featuring a new design is available at Thingiverse via this link: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1697117. Fitting the wheel pins can be quite challenging due to its resemblance in complexity to assembling parts from another popular racing series. Insert the pin before attaching the suspension for increased maneuverability and ease of assembly. First, insert one end into a center hole with part pointed inwardly; use rigid thin tools or devices against an attached side to press pins completely past any arms on surrounding mounts while you might also attach images or photos. Although you can make out little from reading this passage by itself - as such would probably confuse users significantly I am leaving the above instruction section unchanged. However, in case you may struggle understanding - then do go through an attachment. Using scissors is absolutely against any safe practices. Please make sure to fit in your wheels before installing wheels because otherwise, things might get out of hand when trying attaching wheels or if you try assembling these models with hands full (holding onto both items).
