Phantom ICT is Phantom Power Racing's second car.
It was slotted to race in Milwaukee 2016, but has yet to race, due to a rapid unscheduled disassembly of the electrical system just before race weekend.
As of Thanksgiving 2016 the car was almost back to the point where it could drive.

===== History =====

==== Initial Build ==== 
3D modeled in DesignSpark with the idea of doing a bolt-together design, because people kept telling me it was a bad idea. Re-modeled in Fusion 360 because the 2D prints, and lack of revision control, constraints, etc. in DesignSpark were painful, and Fusion 360 was released for free.

Everything was built with a Harbor Freight band saw, a drill press, and precision measuring tools. (Excluding the extremely precision machining done for the spinny bits by Union Area Man in his Pole Barn.)

==== Rapid Unscheduled Electrical Disassembly (Days before Milwaukee 2016)====
Not enough sleep. Destroyed practically everything electrical except the fuses... go figure.

==== Slow and Steady rebuild ====
Abandoning the jasontrollers, slowly I hardened my bench top electronics and got them mounted on the car. This time I have a fuse cover among other things that I skipped in my rush to race the first time. So far no fires.
