Prototype Baffle Round 2: Introduction and Development Process

In this video, I describe a new prototype baffle we are preparing to test this upcoming weekend, produced by Verus Engineering. I go into depth about why we’re still pursuing a baffle and describe some of the tradeoffs in accumulators and dry sump oiling systems.

As always, our goal is to find a way to improve the reliability of these engines on track, and make that solution available to as many people as possible.
