Title says it all, exams are coming up and the school's English faculty thought it would be a good idea to troll us. There are 3 possible questions, but only one of them is the real one. They're all pretty similar, but how do you write ONE essay that can be used for all 3 (instead of 3...

You may or not be able to see from the photo in the previous post but currently, both axles are fixed. Thanks for your help guys, its doing remarkably well. I dabbed some oil/grease directly onto the gears so that they are barely coated. Don't know if it's gonna help durability wise, but it...

where exactly and how much of it?

Haha thanks, I've made it thinner but because I've glued/soldered most of my parts already i can't do any more than that. Oh well. I tried the counter-steering thing today, it worked to some extent - it still yaws to the left but it's only barely noticeable. Explain the differential in terms of...

Update: Reglued the front axles like 5 times, finally got it to go straight ! :D Trimmed off some weight to make the body narrower, someone tell me if a narrower car is more suitable for drag racing? Reglued some wheels as they were starting to fall off. But! One problem still remains...when...

Awesome. It says its 2500 maH, but whats the difference between volts and mah on a battery? Update: Changed the gearing yesterday to increase acceleration. But turning is still a problem. to give you an idea it does donuts (i.e drifts in a circle) in an anti clockwise direction. the axles have...

Yeah I have engineering class tomorrow so I will make sure to fix that up and I will try to take a picture for you guys :) About the 2200mah NiMH batteries...the ones I am currently using are pure (i think) Lithium batteries rated at about 3000mah...can you suggest any better ones or is that it?

@ SnowFox: there are 4 gears: 8, 12, 50, 60 teeth and you can use any of them as driver or driven gear. I used the 12 + 50 teeth gears cause they're kinda in the middle of top speed-acceleration balance. dunno if I can change them seeing as I've stuck them on but any -specific- suggestions...

Thanks for your replies, guys :D I'll clarify a few things or two. The kit we are using is a very simple one, it has 2 large rear wheels 2 smaller front wheels 2 axles 2 axle "covers" 4 different gears (only two can be used in one dragster) battery pack 2 ordinary AA batteries a piece of...

Yo, lol okay so for year 10 engineering we are making a battery powered dragster, and everyone uses the same kit except for batteries. I'm using Energizer Ultimate Lithiums at the moment and my dragster's the fastest and all, but recently the front axle detached and i had to reattach it. Since...

Bump bump bump

Thanks but the reason I'm going for Advanced English is because the teachers say its more of a "reader's course" and involves more creative writing, which is not something I'm particularly good at. Creative writing btw. Advanced is apparently more analytical so yeah. Thank you for replying...

Hey guys, I am a student in year 10 at the moment and I need to make final subject selections very soon (2 days' time). Right now I am sure i want to do some subjects but other subjects I am unsure of. I go to a selective high school and doing ok but my problem is choosing which subjects to...
