I try to reset which keys do what and when i select the up arrow for accelerate it hangs until i hit something else. I'm assuming its a driver issue via redline......any ideas??

Just a technical question....I'm working on a car that weighs less than a kilo and has less than 1500w of power, with about 4nm of torque. At first my difficulty was with moments of inertia, of course, but I just had to calculate them down very low, and now they seem alright (unless they're the source of my problems right now). The engine was also a challenge, but.........I can't seem to get the tires to move the car now. They just spin helplessly. They've got their stickiness ...

I have taken this wild guess... 7.85g/cm3 for steel 2.7g/cm3 for aluminum So the ratio for Redline would be.... 2.7/7.85=0.34394904459 The cars ...

This makes Redline stuttering and lagging - no wonder when no cpu time is left. You can see whether syslogd is hogging your cpu by opening "activity monitor" under "utilities" in the apps and sort the list of *all processes* by %. If syslogd is at more than 10 percent, something is wrong, if it is at more than 95 percent, please read on. IMPORTANT I must refuse ...
