I was excited, I thought I finally had a place to run the concept I ran last year at Soul Boxer. Aero has a dragster like look. Bearings all around. It ran at 5oz, and thanks to a team effort with Zeebzob it was fast. But, the 1" thing knocks it out (if it is a cube 1"X1"X1").
Would someone post the link to the video here in the thread PLEASE?
Just so it is out there. I can easily show a 1" X 1" in just about every PWD car ever built. Heck maybe I'll even put a 1" X 1" square of that fancy carbon fiber - lol.
Eagle, go back a page. In the “Big Wheels Rules” page that this thread is in the link to the Rat Rod video is towards the top. Just above this thread.

Just getting cought up on the rat rod posts the 1" x 1" min area is for the top of car that must be at least 1.5 inches from track surface with wheels on.

Currently the rules read like this:
"The tread surface must remain flat and parallel to the bore"
SO, it's very similar to the FWU... the 10 degrees you see is for the raised wheel. In the past the wheel was nearly on top of the body. With razor wheel up front there is no need since there is no drag or friction.
Since we are running bearings, they will perform better when flat like the rear unlimited wheels (tapered wheels allowed).
Recommendation: The tread surface must remain flat and parallel to the boreThe tread surface can be tapered.
