Week of rotors

Get Damon from dde aswell

@@BlackLavender793 No thanks, that tank of ADHD really needs no place when Rob & Ken would be doing a collab of sorts. Let DDE do what DDE does, please 12-18 year olds with pumped up vids on & on again :D I would like to just see some quality content with both of them.

I don’t no how you can do without one. It doesn’t have to be huge. Three ft between the centres is all you need.

[@MrCornholios]

@@RobDahm Convert your milling machine into a lathe. Just exchange the tool and the workpiece. I have done that with a lathe. Now i can milling on it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/anfRo6uImMd5bpo

[@ADRIAAN1007]

Its a good idea to put a shroud in front of all fans since a fan pressed up against the rad will have a dead zone in front of the hub and in the four corners so you are not passing air through 1/4 of the radiator adding about a inch of space for negative pressure zone will insure even flow through 100% of available fins increasing cooling capacity.

[@flyingbaguettefpv]

Every now and then i go back to your old vids and it's crazy how far you've come, from having others do it to doing just about everything yourself, it's a really inspiring journey and I'm so grateful that you took us along for the ride

[@khobaibzafar3601]

Going back to his roots!!!! Rob you have gone full circle you maniac

[@platniumdr]

Awesome video! As someone who does a fair amount of hobbyist CNC work, I've also discovered that work holding is more an art form than anything. It feels like designing efficient jigs and work holding solutions is much more challenging than actually designing and making any given end part.

[@drakepillette]

I'd love to see it in monroe!

[@limesta]

Thank God my Europe trip is after gridlife! Mazdaspeed west MI welcomes you Rob! We'll see you there

[@aserta]

4: 53 you have enough meat on that pulley to take it out and put it on the mill to slim it down too. Also, since you have a CNC, if you can get your mitts on a horizontal axis for this machine, you could make your own pulley, and add a crown to it (there are crowned toothed pulleys out there, rare, but they do exist) to make sure the belt tracks, at which point the whole washer is useless.

[@RobDahm]

Cool idea!

[@morophineswordphich8229]

Rob is whispering the words that melt everyone but Isiah always stays so cool

[@tyler_bt3326]

Might be worth putting some kind of heat shielding behind the exhaust outlet?

[@gh0stedone472]

I remember I saw you Rob at a gas station like a year ago and I was so excited I was too scared to say hi 🤣. You are legit my biggest inspiration to design my own engines, cars, and body kits. Thanks for making these videos and especially making me spend way too much money and spend too much time on my projects 🤣🤣

[@acceler9]

That swirl pattern on the new washer @ 7:09 is just a huge machining flex! Love it!

[@generalee2010]

Literally just retrofitted stock power windows into my old Toyota pickup and had to make the wiring harness for it. I had the same feeling Rob did in this video when he rolled his windows down too. Such a little thing but such satisfaction

[@maciekcocieto1]

i'm getting engineering degree next month and my specialization is CAD/CAM. It's so nice to see you on your side talking about all that machining stuff that CAD is one third, CAM is another third and holding it to the table is another art itself. And then me on my side saying to myself 'yeah i know that feeling'. I know that it might be nothing to most, but for me is so connecting, im sitting here in Poland watching you in USA but still can feel some connection, don't really know how to describe it haha

Your air filter install made me think you might be interested in the Banks AirMouse ambient air density sensor to help you measure how restrictive the filter is and also correct for varying altitudes, ambient humidity, etc. when you do a hill climb ;-) I know you have plenty of engine sensors, but I didn't notice an environmental sensor outside of IAT. Anyway, random thought I had. Thanks for the videos, love the technology and level of description you are pursuing!

[@SuperDancingdonkey]

Watching these videos is like watching NASCAR. Bob Lazar did crazy stuff with odd engines 30 years ago without the internet, sponsorships, selling shirts, or KZbin crowd funding. But we watch this not because it's smart, but because we are just waiting for those 2 seconds that will inevitably occur when someone crashes and burns. I just have a feeling Isiah puts his life on the line and doesn't have health insurance and if Rob gets hurt he will make videos and profit off of it

[@ck240sx]

LOOK UP ACKERMANN STEERING!!! Your car is doing it backwards! VERY IMPORTANT!!

[@BiggRanger]

I've sent several messages about the steering geometry, so have others. It's going to handle pretty unpredictably on the track when the weight shifts from left to right in a turn, I hope he doesn't wreck.

[@Keygstan]

If the inside of the machine is starting to smell bad it might be time to drain the old coolant, clean the coolant tank and fill with new coolant.

[@thenarddawg1]

Just watched your video about the wheel speed sensors. Maybe you have an idea for this already, but if you have a way to log steering angle, you can see the difference in wheel speed of the front tires and even the front vs rear tires and plot it vs steering angle. then you could have conditions for locking or not locking the awd system depending on if you're going relatively straight (< a certain angle) or around a tight corner (>a certain angle)

Rob... realistically speaking...how much is the cost of owning the build for the road...I am sure there are a zillion of us wanting to own one...plz let us know...love the energy... keep going💕❤️💗💝💖♥️

[@BodenM]

One potential solution for the axle hitting the engine could be making an intermediate shaft setup, so the axle is only pivoting once it's past the engine. You could also have equal length half shafts with that, which would certainly reduce any chance of torque steer from occuring across the front axle at full noise.

[@jameslastname9171]

I feel that might increase the axle joint angles too much at full suspension travel.

[@kuyper]

Damn! KZbin keep throwing away my comment; possibly because I put a Maps URL in; so just a description: @Rob Dahm, Gingerman is the ideal track - take a look at the satellite view just West of the Paddock; there's a Rotor/Dorito shaped Pond they appear to have put in, just for you :)

[@VR6NAVYVW]

If your machine smells bad I would first ask what fluid you were using. Everyone...I mean anyone with experience uses synergy coolant on a machine like the Haas you have. Synergy is clear and better for recording cuts and has a much better smell than traditional coolants. Second, you need to stay on top of PH, coolant ration, and bacterial growth. Hopeful that helps you.
