ENGINE TESTS STARTED
For preparation of engine starting tests, oscilloscope readings have been taken of the crankshaft and cam sensors mounted on the engine. The readings show correct behaviour of the sensors, and correct transmission from the sensors to the engine management system (ECU).For more information, contact us at info@silvermine.nl
MODELLING OF BODY STARTED
Cross sections of the body in the CAD design have been plotted en were cut from foam material. The resulting model at scale 1:5 serves as starting point for further development of the body.For more information, contact us at info@silvermine.nl
