I like the scale of the this stuff...not too many small hexes to worry about here!

That was a little bit confusing. I saw the last comment that it traveled 300 MPH, but looking at the speedometer it said 298km not mph. So which was it? Nice project though. He did not seem to have much trouble driving that thing either. Pretty effortless driving from the looks of it considering how fast it was going. Can you clarify the actual speed?

He did look like he was driving down to the corner shop for some milk. I've seen as many internal camera footage of speed run vehicles as anyone & even considering the lower comparative speeds, it's like he was running on velvet in comparison

Thats what I was wondering. He seems to be driving a nice Cadilac soft ride vehicle. Hardly any effort at all, and no fighting the wheel at any time. Pretty unbelievable at those speeds. And I know what he is posting in his blogs, but did you not see the kmph simble on his dash during the video. It did not show mph on there.

in the vid i seen mph

I saw mph also but the video is of BB2 (hydro) - just checked

Couldn't find any BB2.5 video but this is at least the correct vehicle: www.buckeyebullet.com/BB25.html

I see what you mean about the sunday driving style (drving Miss Daisy) it just doesn't seem fitting at all

Must have been a light crosswind though. What was the BB2.5 powered by? BB1 was batteries BB2 was fuel cell.

Found my answer in the last link.
