targets of this dunebug:
at least 120mph top speed on rough bumpy roads while maintaining razor sharp control of the vehicle
a tube-built chassis with hotswappable shell-bodywork (custom skins with custom bodies) :idea:

i have implemented a bypass valve damper setup in each corner with an assisting spring to aid with large jump landings. currently it drives perfectly stable and steers sharply all the way up to 210mph. :mrgreen:
it makes -1.6 coefficient lift which i think is reasonable, with the size of the wings (there is no visual front wing yet)
one of the difficult bits of this project will be finding a good position for the steering arms, because the suspension geometry employs some anti squat. :ugeek:
