RC Top Speed Car Pt3 - Differential Steering Indeterminate Design 2025-09-14 | In this video, I share the latest prototype of my RC top speed car project. The goal was to push the limits of aerodynamics with a fully 3D printed, highly streamlined design—and experiment with a new steering approach. Instead of traditional steering geometry, this prototype uses differential steering, where the car turns by varying wheel speeds.While the design looked promising on paper, the results weren’t quite what I hoped for. This video documents the build, testing process, and lessons learned—because even the failed attempts bring me one step closer to building the ultimate RC land speed car.AirShaper Cloud Based CFD : airshaper.com
