Speed

So at the weekend we've tested the top speed of the car. We put my PDA (with GPS) into the car, and made a few laps on a big tarmac field.
Here is the result:

As you can see, the max. speed of the car was 48 km/h. It's more then enough and this result made with a "sick" engine. I think, the exhaust not the best, we heard that the engine doesn't reached the max. RPM, so the 48 km/h really nice, and scary :)

Then we made some little jumps and unfortunately the front ball and socket joint (made from plastic) was broken... We need a new one from metal.

The biggest problem is, that at the end of the run, my throttle/brake servo has give up the war with the forces, the electronic circuit has died...
