My non-engineered youtube science says most of the dust kick-up is just the rear diffuser. Doing exactly what it should; what is missing is the rest of the ground aero. WIth how important aerodynamics are, this should be the focus for Rob. Making sure all those holes inside get covered so the air is going over and under. Right now I imagine the inside is just causing so much drag. Wheels need more aero to remove dirty air as well. With a focus on aero and then tuning the car, it would be easier to deal with. Tuning a car now seems like learning how to tune a parachute full of air. ~I made this comment before the ending of the vid where Rob even mentions aero. Love all your videos Rob, been watching very early on. Happy you are sharing this journey with the rest of us.
Congratulations Rob!! 🤘 The car is running absolutely wicked!

The way the 4 rotor just lunges past supercars in the high 100's is something I've never seen before! We all know Rob and the team have built something special, but I think we've only seen the beginning of what it's capable of!
such a pleasure to see this car running. i've been following you since the birth of the idea and i never believed you would really make it. but here i am looking like a fool for doubting you. so happy for you that you made that dream come true! truely something only a few people are able to achieve!
There was something very wholesome about this video. Really enjoyed it, especially the 1st half covering the road trip and early stages of the event. I wonder if not having the rear window in place is messing up the air around the wing. Is there a reason the rear window is missing? With this much power some time in a wind tunnel might not be a bad idea. Love your videos Rob. It’s been a real pleasure watching your journey unfold.

@shrerd1894; clearly You lack the proper basics about electrical, digital signals, wiring, etc. A. The variations, spikes with the digital speed sensor are clearly clean, stable until much higher speeds -> thus clearly NOT an issue with any interference ! B. Thus, clearly, obviously, certain the issue is intermittent connection at higher speeds, RPM 1. The first area to check are the connections, connectors from the wires of the sensor(s), which are vulnerable to the vibrations, due to higher RPM and wind speeds,. 2. The next is to verify the wires inside the sensor and sensor itself - this should have shown up with proper high speed testing on the dynometer, but perhaps they did not operate the vehicle at these higher RPM speeds 3. Also the actual higher speed driving, especially on this aircraft runway, has additional variations, vibrations, along with the high speed air flow during very high speed travel as this 4. For these reasons, basis, poper planning, connectors, connections, wiring, sensors must be proper, carefully selected, chosen, wired, installed as those within aircraft, high speed vehicles as F1, Indy, NASCAR, NHRA/IHRA/PDRA, others 5. typical "Trial & Error" process among the amateurs, novice, platform-video producers, including many which modify, build performance level vehicles, many for drag, track, other racing but not trained properly,lack the proper knowledge, especially within safety are extremely common and should be clear, obvious to humans with proper basic thinking as examples of "what NOT to do"-"NOT follow", don't do as they do with their mistakes, errors, claims etc. All The Best

I’ve been watching for awhile now. I’m a Porsche fan but had a friend that had one of those 3 rotors with a turbo. Loved riding around in it. What you’re doing is awesome and your videos are addictive. Love watching you tweak these absolute dragons!🐉
Congrats on the record, its well deserved! 😊
A milestone for sure. You are a huge inspiration, Rob! Im attempting to follow in your footsteps in my own way. I dont think most people realize how hard it is to do what you are doing, and the sacrifice it requires.
There is something satisfying in watching your journey with these cars. Like, you actually put the work in yourself on the cars. You often break something on the cars when trying them out, but you're always immediately back to the drawing board to see how you can make it work and get better. It's satisfying when it works out for you. Definitely a good example of a person with determination and good mental attitude. We need more wholesome type of people like you in the car scene.
I am so glad to see you come so far rob, i cannot imagine it. Seeing you be so dedicated and passionate to improve and get the rx better is outstanding. It is really good to see you make such videos and maybe one day i would meet you at a car meet or an event. Keep making great videos and i wish you prosperity and well being. Much love :)

Man I come back to Rob's channel say... idk every couple months? Sometimes longer and to see where the 4 rotor is now compared to years ago is INSANE. That thing's so dialed in.
High speed runs with no rear window or finished / sealed interior. Mad man, I love it. + 1 for style points!
Rob is such a good sport. Im glad to see his success with this car and im a rotary enthisiast myself. I had a beefed Rx2 when i was 17 and a stock RX7 some yrs later.
Ngl. REally cool to see it make a proper rip! Fantastic job
I was there to see your three rotor half mile run which seems like forever ago now but this car is in a totally different League, I wish I was there to watch a few runs with the 4 rotor because it's definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience if you live where I live you're never going to see stuff like this unless you go looking for it far away and other states lol

Congratz on the new PB/record! I'm wondering if you have a traction control issue due to front/rear tire diameter expansion variations at high speeds. Can you see the mph speed of the front axles vs. rear axles in the logs? Are you running 555R's on front and rears or slicks? I'm sure you'll fix all the issues. Looking forward to your next videos
Congrats!!

the vibe of these videos & the acom[lishments yall have been consistently putting out is 10/10 my dudes. also, Isiah is heady af. He is like the fab god equivalent of a master glass blower. I know yall jokingly fry him for his drip, but he dead ass reminds me of multiple cool ass guys I know with over $300k in their glass, EACH. He'd fit right in at the glass shows i've been too & everyone would be stoked on his Tig work too.
As always, the hard part is not building an engine with tonne of power, it's putting that power down in a stable and reliable way
Insane speed And Insanely sounds!!!
An incredible car and the work you put into it is outstanding.
Man, I had an '06 Hawkeye STI that would speed wobble on decel that was absolutely terrifying. Watching the onboard camera angle instantly brought back some "OH SHIT!" memories. It's unsettling to say the least. Mine was caused by the rear passenger side wheel bearing being shot and having a bunch of rolling resistance on it. The wheel bearing didn't have any wobble or play in it, it just didn't roll well. It took forever to figure that out.
Weird, I don't think it would be an aerodynamic problem considering its only one side of the car doing the wobble. Your car is pretty much mirrored underneath I would imagine, so I would try fixing the sensor problems first. Kind of reminds me of the F1 porpoising problem they had for a while. Downforce increases to a point where it stalls out, then goes back up and repeats.
It’s all paying off Rob! Nice work
Love the car and awesome video, digging the 3rd Gen. Cummins!!!
Two theoretical things here, would having a rear window in place help clean up the air? Also, I wonder if a carbon shark fin, similar to what you'd find on the AMG One, or the Jesko, help keep the car straight at high speeds. Would be cool to see one integrated into the rear window, should you go plexiglass (with F40 style vents 😊).

@@newtonfirefly3584 Perhaps instead of being condescending, try being constructive. And instead of putting people down try engaging in a discussion. If we apply some logic to the situation it is apparent that all 4 wheel speed sensors are reading all over the place. That tells me it is unlikely to be a single sensor that is bad and even less likely for it to be a wiring issue such as chaffed wires. Now as far as my understanding goes the wheel speed sensors are putting out pulses which are read by the ECU. Those pulses could be coming fast enough that capacitance in the wiring attenuates the pulses enough that the ECU has trouble accurately reading them. Or it could be that the sensors are not capable of reading a trigger wheel going that fast. Seeing as I do not have the model number of the wheel speed sensors, and I don't have the time to look for it in the videos, I will elect to just speculate.
