The video is about a team's attempt to achieve the world speed record for a tracked vehicle, specifically a Bentley. They start by changing the gearbox oil and then move on to modifying the exhaust system. After successfully installing a new exhaust system, they take the vehicle to a long straight road to test its speed. With a turbo UZ engine producing 400 HP, they aim to reach 130 km/h. However, during the test, a silicone vacuum hose catches fire, causing a brief interruption. After extinguishing the fire, they continue the test and manage to reach a top speed of 130 km/h, making it one of the fastest tracked vehicles in the world. The team discusses future upgrades, including improving the brakes and replacing the rubber tracks. They also reveal a 3D-printed sample of a new track design that would improve the vehicle's stability and performance. The episode ends with the team searching for a manufacturer to produce the new track design, which they believe is the key to achieving even higher speeds.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. The goal of the project is to achieve a world speed record with a Bentley vehicle.
2. The current official record for the fastest tracked vehicle is 105 km/h.
3. The team is aiming to reach a speed of 130 km/h.
4. The vehicle is equipped with a turbo UZ engine that produces about 400 HP.
5. The team replaced the engine control unit (ECU) with one from a GAZelle to remove the speed limiter.
6. The new ECU has a speed limiter of 255 km/h.
7. The team calculated the gear ratio to determine the vehicle's maximum speed, which is approximately 137 km/h.
8. The vehicle has a boost control system that can reach 0.9 boost.
9. The team encountered a problem with the vacuum hose, which caught fire during a speed test.
10. The team successfully reached a speed of 130 km/h, making it one of the fastest tracked vehicles in the world.
11. The vehicle's transmission is not perfect, and the team plans to upgrade it in the future.
12. The team is planning to upgrade the brakes to make the brake pedal work.
13. The vehicle's steering system has free play, and the team plans to make the steering more sensitive.
14. The team is working on a new track design with a high guide lug and a low guide lug to prevent the track from falling off.
15. The team is searching for a manufacturer to produce the new track design.
16. The team plans to replace the drive sprocket and rollers, and rebuild the frame once the new track is ready.
17. The team plans to paint the frame and make the vehicle "immortal" once the new track is installed.
