My webhosting provider removed the tiny video that seems to have slashdotted them a tad after yesterdays exposure here on HN. This video is now on youtube, hopefully i will be within my bandwidth limits going forward.
I am also very grateful for all the good and constructive comments made here, this is exactly what i was going for.
A lot of concerns about safety was lifted, and a few comments made me reconsider some choices i was about to make.
In order to make sure the car does not flip over i will be:
Widening the axle base and wheelbase with 100mm. The new suspension will lower the the car quite a lot, and also lower the point of gravity.
As i mentioned the motor is a 48 volt running on 12 volt until the little guy grows older and more used to the strength and speed.
He will have no control over steering or gas until he understands the very principals of what he is doing.
In case of loss of radio control, the servos controlling the brakes will lock up.
I made a lot of progress on integrating a signal horn into the steering-wheel yesterday, will show this off in a small update in the end of the week.
As for welding, i got a lot of good advise on top of what i knew from researching the subject. If i go for steel or aluminum still remains to be seen, but my Argon gas delivery was postponed 2 weeks, making it likely i will go with steel at least for now.
Thanks again for all feedback! If you think of more, feel free to let me know here or on the blog.
Kind regards
Jonas
