The pump is bad. There are some obvious signs that metal has gone through it. Outside of changing the fluid between events, what other actions can I take to reduce wear on the gear box? I'm not relish...

@rjbender - Their marketing material says each controller (which runs 2 tires) pulls 1000 watts. We ran two controllers, 4 tires, at the last event on one Honda 2000w generator, so I'm guessing their ...

@charleyh, Thanks for the excellent info! What is the life expectancy of the GDU pump? My GDU was rebuilt along with a pump replacement over the previous winter. During my last event of 2020 I suspect...

Time to inspect my GDU pump and gears. First, what is the easiest way to verify that the GDU cooler pump is working properly? While the GDU was full of fluid, I removed the line from the top of the G...

Yep we kept them on all day. Between sessions we dropped the temp to 120. About 45 minutes before the session we would set to 180.

They definitely lose some temperature while you are sitting on grid, but the net gain is still big enough that I consider it well worth it. Having a mate also makes a big difference. Our process was t...

Trevor, I run time trials like you. The best thing I did was order a set of tire warmers. You can go out hot on the first lap and get your times done even in 15 minute sessions. Easily the best $800 ...

I'm definitely interested to see if running costs are lower. I could go for a faster car that is cheaper to run 🙂 I am seriously looking at the billet uprights. The upright replacement schedule is 600...

On the maintenance cost front, what else have they changed besides engine hours that makes it cheaper to run? I've been putting together together a run cost per mile sheet for the SR3 and while the mo...

If you visit this page: You can select from a couple options. I used the full vehicle wrap option. You will have to create an account on 99designs.com to continue with the work. 99designs.com takes c...

My Idea Studio did the wrap design: You can hire them directly through 99designs.com. They've done several other Radical wrap designs as well. KC Sign Co. here in Kansas City printed and installed th...

Sure. Here's a link to some photos from our last event.

A good graphic designer can create what you need without the body work sizes. I used a designer from 99designs who has done several other Radicals.

The manual suggests opening the case and draining the fluid that way. Rather than do that and worry about the seal on the case each time, we tend to just remove the lower hose from the case and let dr...
