This part sponsorship will help us charge the car, and we need approximately 600 of these to run our electric motor!
Nuts and Bolts are easily perceived to be a dime a dozen, however these have custom specifications for different parts of the car, and a part sponsorship of $10 can go a long way on us obtaining high quality pieces that keep our car together.
This part sponsorship of our circuit boards enable our all electric racecar to process the vital commands it needs to function the motor as well as navigate the data storage from our drives.
Almost 90% of the parts on the car are machined in house in our lab! A part sponsorship of $50 would provide for a decent unit of stock for smaller parts that are machined by hand, such as the clevises, that enable the attachment of external parts to the chassis.
The carbon fiber on our car is perhaps the most expensive material item that goes into the custom fabrication of our racecars. We need to buy new rolls every year because they have an expiration date, and numerous layers are required for the safety and complete creation of the monocoque each year. Your part donation of $500 dollars allows us to buy the amounts we need to compete and win!
The electric accumulator of our vehicle is what allows us to drive the car and a vital part that we outsource simply because we do not have the air tight facilities needed to create a top performing system. Without this system, we don't move! Donating this part amount allows for team flexibility in design where we would be able to afford a new motor for each iterative racecar, prioritizing peak performance over just meeting the bare expectations.
A full set of magnesium rims provides our racecar with a lightweight drivetrain system that is directly proportional to the speed and maneuverability of our racecar!
