its been a long time... i went to germany last may..

first i would recommend that you all take a look here...

Shell Eco-marathon 2010 - Global

i got so busy after that never had the time to properly upload photos..

i have a LOT of photos and pakwheels photo uploading is sooo slow..

kindly do not ask me for prices... ham kuch ullo bhi banay new stuff khareednay kay chakkar main... and due to zero market experience.. yes we could have done it in a lot of better ways.. but please before any criticism begins.. this was my first experience ever building something of this magnitude.. and i admit i made a lot of mistakes..

any ways.. beginning from the design...

all drawings made by me on SOLID EDGE V12
DIYers can get ideas from these drawings and use them.. but please out of decency dont copy them and pass them off as your own

tires for the car...

there were 2 categories..

prototype and urban concept..

prototype has less limitations,, where as the urban concept has to be more like an actual car.. 4 wheel hydraulic disc brakes.. doors, boot specific tyre width and turning radius.. visibility and million other requirements..

i worked on the urban concept

you shoudl have asked to be able to fix it. i'm sure you guys could have come up with some sort of "juggar" to get the vehicle running.

the sprocket also started slipping on the axel.. i borrowed a welding station from the portugal team and welded the sprocket to the axel..

nfssaad (Saad Ahmed Khan) 2010-06-22 07:32:34 +0500 #13

all the other teams were very nice and help full...

no one ever said any thing bad about pakistan...

in fact the only problem that we did have in the entire trip to germany..
was the damn pakistani embassy..
