24th May 2007

Today we had a major mess up. We use plastic gears, but after a few 'Jeremy Clarkson' style powerslides, we found the drive gear had melted, and the engine no longer links with the gears. We are buying a metal gear. At least the car work, and we know it handles well, however some of the team are worried that the car might have too much accelaration, due to the powerslides, and the wheelspinning on half throttle. We are staying with the current ratios, as they can get to over 40 on a car with more weight. Tomorrow I am buying some new tyres to replace the clapped out Thunder Tiger tyres we are using currently.
