Dragon Motorsports February Progress Report for the A59 car

Our electric car team continued on making changes to the advanced car. We finished designs on the steering system and have begun bulding the gear box and started developing design for the vertical steering arms to be sent off to be fabricated.

Our lead fabricator Hayden has also welded on the new brace bars, which now allow for easier entry and exit. We have also completed the new design for our brake pedal. Last year the old brake pedal failed during the power drive championships due to fatigue of its components. This year our brake pedal will be built much stronger to withstand the stress of rally season.

We are bulding a new nose cone that will hopefully resemble a classic muscle car look. To do this we are carving out a foam mold that we will use on our vaccum forming table. There plastic will be heated and stretched over the mold to create our final nose cone. This will be a lengthy process since we will be hand forming the foam with sanding blocks.
