because it is only a Demo, so the materiel is very casual, & the size a little bit big

if one has the material laying around, i think it's a good idea to build a test chassis to check the proportions.

a thing i noticed is your main roll hoop - as far as i interpreted the rules, the "uncut section" has to extend all the way to the lower frame bars and not to the upper ones?

The rear part of the frame will not be very stiff i guess ... its built out of rectangles, not triangles ...

i think its a great start , we made our first one out of pvc pipes we get for real cheap .
crude but fast and effective , got the entire frame done in 2 hrs to get the idea of the real thing .

because it's not only a demo chassis, we will make a demo car with CB250 engine

oh cool we did something similar to using a 150 cc engine , we made the car for the sole purpose of marketing and proving it to others who did not believe that we could do it , we built it with our own money , we spent just around $1600 for the entire thing of which a significant bit was for making it look good .
after 2and a half years it still is in running condition

best of luck to you guys ,

regards

it was a two stroker bougth for $125.
the car was capable of pulling speeds of 75kph, which i think is decent. our weigth was around 150kg without driver.

cb250 should pull it around for sure. will be clumsy at launch but will work.

hi,Scania.

The thing i noticed is the weight ratio of FF&RR.how about the target of your weight ratio? Just seen from your pic.I think maybe there is a little heavy in FR parts.

Then i'm intersting in what's idea of ENG mount.
The current rear space is limited,i think.

BTW:Are you from Hongkong? HK university?I work in guangzhuo city of China. nice to meet u~

It is good to have a new team. Being the first in Hong Kong must be very special. Hopefully, this university project provides credibility to motorsports in general for Hong Kong.
