Battery Buggy B

[new horizon]

sights are really easy to build. a U shaped bridge on the front and back of the buggy with a stick running across it will work sufficiently.

also for your wheels, i don't think it affects straightness, but it does affect your skid. Why are you making your own wheels? It's not a very accurate thing to do, you can buy prebuilt wheels and drill them to the size of your axle rod, or use CDs/something circular.

wheels do affect straightnes because if they wobble or one turns the other doesn't it won't go strait but yes dont make your own wheels as new_horizon said.

Does anyone know if you can start your Battery Buggy during a run parallel to the center line, but not on it? But still on the starting line.

Generally, you can do anything that isn't prohibited by the rules, is not a safety hazard and doesn't violate the spirit of the competition. I see no language in the event or general rules that would disallow it.

No, the rules prohibit it. moreover, you automaticaly loose 20 points bonus.

Actually danyalukin I would beg to differ. I don't see any where in the rules where it specifically says that you cannot run your device parallel to the center line.

I agree with the automatically losing the 20 points bonus, but it is not prohibited.

what's the problem? is it that your buggy doesn't go straight? If you're so concerned you can set it off a little (use a sighting device and set it off from it) to avoid penalties.

[Jocool]

yeah. just tilt it in a countering direction.

Can somebody give me anyways on making my battery buggy going exactly straight....with out putting any displacement

Start by checking wheel and axle alignment using a carpenters square

[Jocool]

then wheel locking and frame angles.
