Brushless EDF: Ofna Ultra GTP

Man that guy is lucky!

Back to business: Here are some current pictures of the car.

The completed kit minus the engine related stuff-


No more bumper, made Poly/Al battery/ESC tray, different rear shock tower for better clearance, dual brakes-


The tape on the rear tower is to mark where they'll be cut down to.


Close up of dual brake setup. When I get around to cutting the center axle I'll have separate F/R brake adjustment.


I've figured out that this is going to weigh almost exactly 9 pounds fully RTR. The manufacturer of the fan says it can be operated in excess of 27000 rpm. We'll definitely find out how far in excess with this project. I'm shooting for ~50000 rpm with the current choice of electronics (10s, 1950/9). It should make more than 10 pounds of thrust since the power curve on the fan is exponential to a degree. Even if I need to replace a rotor here and there, only having 1 heavy motor in the car will be great.

Here are some renderings of the fan mount I have in mind:





Circled in RED are the points on the chassis where the fan will mount:
