Technical Web-Site of the Month * May 2002:


Designing and Building the Electron Run Vehicle
Electron Run Vehicles are similar to Electrathon Vehicles and Portland General Electric provides lots of technical information applicable to Electrathon. The Electron Run specifications are different than for Electrathon ie. Electrathon wheels must be at least 16 inches, so check any measurements given against your own rule book. The Portland General Electric's technical site is a good place to start if you are designing an Electrathon or Electron Run Vehicle. http://www.pge-edsvcs.com/electron%20run/Erunrulebook/designandbuild.htm
Awarded to Electrathon sites with good Technical Information
