I could see Rob making mental notes "oh I like this, maybe I'll try it on one of my cars" with the suspension lol.

[@Scottydoing]

Wouldn't you?!

[@G_Ozare]

@@Scottydoing Haha exactly. Thats why he asked, and whats under here?

​@@Scottydoing?

[@Alpha14850]

Well he is the man who called manufacturers pretending to be an employee of Hoonigan for the geometry of Hoonicorn parts to build them himself 😂

[@joealex65]

This just shows that Rob is taking Pikes Peak VERY Dahm serious! Those Radicals are so much fun! Radical held the record of the fastest "road legal" car on the Nurburgring for 10 years and also had the only 2 cars to do it under 7 minutes, they know their stuff! 😎

[@rickcupola6262]

You know you're in for a ride when Rob makes a proper outro teasing the next episode...

[@p.t.anderson1593]

An outro with a teaser for the next episode?!?! Am I at the right channel?

[@ethanruedinger1630]

Super excited for Pikes Peak and it’s been great seeing your development as both a builder and a driver. Keep it up!

[@tablesoup]

Rob *finally* getting that formal training he should have gotten years ago. Good to see.

[@rampagesnowite5380]

When rob uploads, you drop everything else

[@ghqst777]

I been sleeping on his videos since the three rotor was running again 😂😂

[@scarface4G63]

[@killersof10]

I'm at work in a shop and got his video on my monitor while listening to this on Bluetooth earbuds. You bet your *** im learning racecar tech on the job

[@jharris280zx]

Rob if you dont know Misha Charoudin, you should look up his new company Vulcan Alpha. Awesome dude diving deep into fabrication and driving on the Nurburgring.

[@DungeonMetal]

That collab would be hella unexpected but super cool.

[@Red6er]

Yeah, would be a great collab

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

Welcome to the club brother 🤘🏻 now we need to race 👏🏻

[@casefc3s]

good luck Rob, I just got my SCCA novice license for road racing, it's such a blast man. Can't wait to knock out the race weekends and get that full comp! :)

[@fiercenet]

We are stopping EVERYTHING to get 8 more projects started.

[@jaxontanner9822]

Rob inspired me to race my RX8, and he consistently delivers helpful information to help me further my own racecraft

[@kmonkey4138]

ROB. Have you ever thought about paring an electric integrated motor assist system with a rotary engine?

[@marcusspencer5767]

Your video posted at the right time after a long week.. keep them going rob

[@anthonywilson5994]

Entertaining and educational. And car stuff! Love it!

[@The_TIP]

Yesssss this is awesome! That Nik-link anti-roll bar was a very cool design, love to see new solutions for old problems.

[@sppppppppppppppppppi]

Super cool vid, I do maintenance and tuning on a customers sr1 and I was at amp twice last week dialing the car in with Tyler. I’m sure it was a great time!

[@arrivendrive6831]

Awesome stuff Rob. Looking forward to your next video

[@terenhas]

Patrick seemed knowledgeable as hell, hope we see him some more if there are follow up episodes!

[@RDSAlphard]

I always love Radical & appreciate you actually make video to showcase them!

[@carterschmidt5262]

Same dude it was nice hearing a good deep dive into how they work and are built

[@its_zeemot]

Love this man’s vids can get enough

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

Radicals are the Swiss Army Knife of race cars when it comes to set ups. You can hill climb, time attack, club race, endurance race etc with them.

[@proudpennsylvaniaman7996]

Great content Rob. You're one of my favorite to watch.

[@jth_printed_designs]

The nick-link works via bending stress, not axial stress (compression/tension) like he claimed. Essentially it's trying to bend that kink further or trying to straighten it out.

[@topdeadcentermoto8319]

It's funny you mention the sway bars on the 4 rotor haha, i remember talking to you about that at gridlife colorado in 2022! I still have been wondering this whole time whether you had plans to add then

[@BlakDrgn]

It's a SCCA DSR. We ran a Fox chassis back in the 90's. Wild racing. Even one of the Foster Brothers from Foster Farms did too.

[@anthonywilson5994]

Can't wait to see him drive these cars!

[@FKE23837]

Some thick rubber turf in-between the press and floor with polyurethane bushings that compress ontop of the press feet with bolts or nuts/studs going into the concrete would work good i think.

[@phrodendekia]

Do they make a version with the twin hayabusa v8s?

[@chrisw554]

Great stuff!!

[@m4xripper]

I plan to get my scca license some day watching this makes me jelly but its a good learning experience

[@Insertnamehere662]

Now in my head I’m imagining would a standard hayabusa turbo kit fit on one of those engines without too much modification, that sounds equally as fun as it does bad.

[@lynxproductions]

Well, Rob you got me downloading the Radical SR3 on Assetto Corsa now! I'll have to get some practice in.

[@danielanderson2030]

You really ought to hit up matt at fastlane. Alot closer to home and you can get way more seat time in.

[@jonasrueda4195]

Awesome video! 😁👊 My dream and goal is to buy a Radical. Don't keep us waiting too long before you release the next video.

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

You and me both mate. I'd be happy with boring daily drives and a Radical.

[@CorpseExplosion]

Cool interview!

[@ChaosPootato]

Yeah the dude's super knowledgeable

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

Great interviewee, that guy knew his stuff.

[@Berm_Blaster]

Wow Rob took the time to make a proper outro? Highly unusual, must be a good video coming up

[@floridamangonwild]

Never thought id see my favorite 2 favorite cars on this channel

[@bryancohn9406]

Glad to see you going to a professional school vs taking the Formula Mazda to a local SCCA school. While SCCA schools are fine you can get so much more from a pro school using their cars. Cool stuff!

[@DarkDrift.Rx8]

been playing Assetto Corsa since 2013 release ^_^ From racing the highways around Tokyo with Traffic to Drifting a local drift track. best sim until AC 2 is release imo.

[@selfreflection9874]

Letra goooooo!!!! If you're not first your last

[@folkabuss]

What happened to the 12-rotor, and Herts 4-rotor?

[@G_Ozare]

STOKED FOR THIS!!! LFGOOO!!!

[@K2edg]

Didn't mention the daddy RXC in the corner.

[@guifrakss]

Watch Rob try to fit the 12 rotor in one of those in the future XD

[@ChrisAce117]

Looks like you upgraded your race suit, noice

[@Jared45513]

I feel like Rob just realized how ba motorcycle engines are... 600cc 4cyl can see 14k easy. A 5000 dollar sport bike with only a few modifications and you have the weight to hp ratio of an Enzo Ferrari.

[@Adam-FR]

Not the typical Dahm outro 😂

[@makinwaves8147]

Atlanta motorsports park huh? Sounds familiar... I wonder if DIWD was messing around that day aswell!?

[@mitchelldalton7405]

That ending thouu! Haha😂

[@speedking92]

Interesting he says that it's close to 50 50 weight distribution, as you don't actually want that in a mid engined rear wheel drive car. more like 40 60 or 45 55 depending on tyre size.

[@williamspence2191]

The annual video! 🙏

[@mpp9964]

Would be curious to know what a Star Mazda car would do vs the Radical on the same track

[@didiz01]

You have so many projects going on now 😂, when are we going to see more about the indycar and the 12rotor? What about finishing the 4 rotor?

[@Decenium]

3 months ago "We are stopping EVERYTHING to get the 12 Rotor running ASAP" sooooo that was a lie?

[@runarnordgard7161]

Yes it was

[@DJ_Driven]

Does Radical offer a flex fuel e85 option?

[@fr3ub]

For the 4 rotors rollbar, a company makes dampers that stiffen when it sees G so you can get away whitout one

[@rod.h8064]

Is that a stand-alone in damper setup or does it need additional components?

[@fr3ub]

@@rod.h8064Stand-alone in damper head, no electronics, no rollbar

[@gavinhartley7544]

It’s crazy how similar the sr1 chassis it to a pr6

[@deadjuice3745]

you just know rob is doing that system on the 3-rotor

[@damons6759]

Interesting that Rilltech had problems with dry sumps and still used a wet sump setup.

[@JakeN-ns1cv]

Let’s see the 4 rotor with hert!!!

[@jonhough5299]

What's happening with the 12 rotor broski???

[@Official_MikeyT]

A rotary swapped Radical would basically be the revival of the Kudzu GTP Lights.

[@lukeowens]

UGH, my favorite Tuber is here, where I live, and missed it, UH

[@brianrobinson9979]

I guess we'll see episode 2 in a couple weeks 😅

[@crackedspoon2693]

nice

[@BrandonNoss]

Why do we say “half a dozen”? 😂 6. Just say 6

[@feenyx6394]

You would though. If you owned more than one. A well done NA 13B would be great in these things!

[@K_Swap_The_World_69]

I clicked so fast! 😅 💯💪🏽💯

[@Watchmedome3017]

Radical have the V8 hayabusa engine right?

[@duken9547]

The SR8, love racing that car in iracing

Rob: Todays episode brought to you by Rocket Money Me: Did he say Rocket Bunny? Whats coming for the rx7s that he hasnt teased yet? Sponsor slot 1 minute in: Yeah nah not rocket bunny you fool Me: Damn, that would have been cooler though.

Radical produces a hayabusa V8 also

Firat good luck to your comp license im still on a simulator

[@peripheral1258]

Well it is about time you got in a race car on a track.. A race car that is not in some form of experimental development -interesting as you losing your mind on that rotary art...

[@luker3456]

The british make the best track cars. Nobody else even comes close

[@Vintorezzz676]

i need next episode

[@samstone4508]

Put the 12 rotor in the SR1!

[@NorwayVFX]

That 12 rotor weighs about as much as an entire Radical :P

[@samstone4508]

Power to weight ratio would be unreal even if you had to build the car around the engine

[@Taintlessdisc]

Dwight: "Question. Does it still go 200mph?"

[@Fei8lo]

Wow, a preview instead of an abrupt end to the video. What happened?

[@13LA]

Robs had a haircut, $hits getting serious!

[@CatchiestWorm12]

Rob accidentally made a coherent outro

[@NNFaNRacing]

When Rob mentioned they would have made the splitter support tubing out of inch and half is pretty cool. I don't think he realizes how much of his car is overbuilt. To get the most out of his car he would need to trim a lot of fat. For example the Rod Ends on the control arms, I think he addressed this in a video but he fixed the wrong the thing. I don't know how much those control arms weigh, but I know it's more than they need to. I'm saying this as a fan BTW, I'm just trying to provide productive criticism so the 4 rotor can be as good as it can. Rob if you read this, I can elaborate on the improvements I think you could make to the control arms, I don't want to type all that out if he don't see it lol

[@ralmslb]

At first I thought you said sponsored by Rocket Bunny. Rocket Money is way less cool 😆

[@hooshswiss]

I bought a Mazda RX8 and it smokes a little. How can I fix it? I really want help😊

[@hooshswiss]

I had difficulty starting the engine at first, but now it starts easily, but there is not much smoke in the exhaust, and the smell is strong, like the smell of gasoline. I want help. What should I do in this case? Is there a solution?

[@mikehunt8375]

Drop a 13b crate motor in it, get rid of that Genesis motor it's crap

[@anthonymcnatt3799]

Blue or white smoke? White is seals. Blue is too much oil not completely burning. Only use conventional oil and always premix a quart in the gas tank.
