Mini 4WD Brake and Jump Simulator (Beta Trial)
This is a Mini 4WD simulator where you can experiment with different motor, brakes and tyres combinations and see how the car might behave going over an obstacle such as a slope jump section before finalising your setup. It will show you the height of the jump, the landing point and the rebound height. The parameters are based on scientific experiments we did in the past. You can also enter your own. Hit the green button when you are ready to run the simulation.
In the simulation, you can pause and continue, adjust the playback speed (default to 1/4 of real-time speed) and zoom into a specific time. Hope you find this useful.
Assumptions: for rebound simulation, it assumes the tyres touch the ground first, not the bumper.
Limitations: the simulator does not simulate motor torque, hence the car speed is near constant after braking. The simulator does not simulate air friction. Etc...

1. About the track
2. Car speed
What is the speed of the car before when entering the slope section? (Data source: Which is the best Tamiya Mini 4WD PRO motor?)
3. Brakes
Select your brakes setup. (Data source: What is the difference amongst the Tamiya Mini 4WD sponge brake pads?)
3a. Front brake
3b. Rear brake
3c. Braking properties
Measure your braking properties. (Model source: How good are your brakes?)
4. Wheels and tyres
This determines how high the car bounce upon landing. (Data source: What is the difference amongst the Tamiya Mini 4WD small diameter Low Profile Tyres?)
