Turbo Ice Sled (experimental)

cults3d

The impeller doesn't drive the boats as fast as I wanted. So, I looked for another way to reach more speed. An ice sled causes less viscous drag and indeed runs so fast that I hardly could control it. Full throttle was only possible for a few seconds. If you give throttle in curves, it comes to an about-turn, though it's a perfect emergency brake ;-). Anyway, the indoor ice rink is far too small to make full speed or I have a lot to train yet... It is absolutely necessary to use the bumper, otherwise it can damage the transmission gear of the servo. This happened to me as the sled skidded uncontrolled against the edging. I recommend using a bigger servo; they are cheaper anyway. I know, winter has already gone, but if you find an ice rink and ask politely, there may be still a way ;-). I want to give thanks to the very friendly and helpful management of the Eissporthalle Frankfurt/M: http://www.eissporthalle-ffm.de/ http://youtu.be/jeEbWfG0DLM http://youtu.be/YKiEc8oZmRY 10.04.2015 Today we made another try: https://vimeo.com/124606751, https://vimeo.com/124607071.
