Started to modify my caliper brackets for the new 6 pots, using my precision milling machine :)

Cheap but very effective. More big brakes !.
Hope the x & y motors work at the correct speed :B_thumb:
I like it, can't beat a bit of home engineering :D
Just stumbled on this thread today, and the anticipation is already killing me!
I pity anyone who's been following it since 2013 :sorry:
And before that as the T-5K another interesting read before it gained the second engine, a compound charged fire spitting beast....:)

and that will take you back to 2010....
How far is it off colin for its first outing down the 1/4
That's the best way
Perfection takes time
Today was brake bracket making day, I'm happy with progress
First a recap, comparison between 280mm disks and 380mm carbon ceramic disks.

And the brake pads.

The difference between the front and rear calipers.

and the first bracket mocked up, I'll weld and bolt the 10mm steel bracket onto the modified original one.

You are a bonafide genius, the engineering challenges you have overcome on this build would have stumped most people Long ago good on you Colin . I can't wait to see this crazy beast run.
Two engines means more power without the associated unreliability of a highly tuned single engine :)
