I would have used regular, shorter sockets, but the bolt would not fit through the hole in them - so, I grabbed my set of impact sockets.

I watched it.Great Stuff.
Hey guys, I am about to start building an open-wheel style car based on an old FSAE chassis I found off marketplace. What features should I really be focusing on? I am trying to ensure that each of the systems can be easily serviceable/upgradable so I can easily swap parts, I'm currently working on the drivetrain setup where I'm planning on using a 120kW electric motor along with a 7.2kW battery setup, maybe more if I manage to scrounge up some additional funds. And the next thing on my list is going to be a steering setup. I am planning on using it for time attacks and endurance-style races.

Love the plan :D Be VERY careful with the electric setup.
Also - more knowledgeable people than me will either correct me or chime in - you might want to look at the math behind battery size and motor efficiency, as a bigger battery would also give more performance, and minimize the need to recharge if you take too many runs.

Wow !!! this is very cool !! doing a similar build on a very similar chassis (Bought) not made. It will be like a 2 seater LMP car. Your build is very impressive. Cheers
Not much progress but fired up and moved around two of the projects.
Touareg truck and crashed Touareg that may become ???
I hate throwing things away. When the NiCd batteries in this DustBuster gave up the ghost, $60 for a new battery pack or...overclock it for $5
LMK if this "project" doesn't belong here and I'll remove it. Thanks.
