Custom Specifications

Getting Started: Custom Specification

What Are Custom Specifications?

Custom Specifications in ONE RACEHUB allow you to track components and adjustments that aren't covered by the pre-defined specifications. While ONE RACEHUB includes common pre-defined specs like Anti Roll Bars and Springs, Custom Specifications give you the flexibility to track:

• Unique vehicle components (e.g., Engine, Electronics)
• Component sub-assemblies (e.g., Engine Head, Crankshaft)
• Detailed tracking down to individual parts
• Any adjustable parameters specific to your vehicle

The level of detail is completely up to you - from high-level components to individual nuts and bolts.

Prerequisites

To create Custom Specifications, you need:

• An existing Chassis Specification
• Access to edit that specification

Accessing Custom Specifications

To add a Custom Specification:

1. Navigate to your Chassis Specifications
2. Edit the specification and version you want to modify
3. Go to the Custom section in the sidebar
4. Click +Add at the top right
5. Select Add Custom Spec

Basic Custom Spec Setup

When creating a new Custom Spec, you need to provide:

Mandatory Fields

• Name: A descriptive name for your specification (e.g., "Engine", "Electronics Package")
• Reading Required: How many instances and where this spec occurs on the car
  • Examples: "Front", "Rear", "Front_Corners", "Corners"

Optional Fields

• Build Sheet Group: Legacy feature, can be left blank
• Manufacturer: Default manufacturer for this specification
• Description: Additional details about the specification

Mass Properties

Optional but useful for calculations and simulations:

• Mass: The weight of the component
• COG (Center of Gravity): X, Y, Z coordinates

Custom Tables

You can add custom lookup tables (CSV format) that can be referenced in:

• Setup sheets
• Calculations and Simulation

Adding Adjustable Properties

After saving your Custom Spec, you can define what can be adjusted:

1. Edit your Custom Spec
2. Go to the Adjustable Properties section
3. Add properties that define what can be set up on this specification

Min/Max/Steps

• Set minimum and maximum values
• Define step size (e.g., step=1 means only whole numbers)
• Example: Engine map range 1-12 with step=1

Key/Value Pairs

• Map descriptive names to numerical values
• Example: "Low"=1, "Medium"=2, "High"=3
• Users see descriptive names, but calculations use numerical values

Description: Add details about what this property controls

Tracking Items

Configure what measurements should be tracked for parts using this specification:

1. Go to Tracking Items section
2. Add items like:
   • Run Distance
   • Run Time
3. Go into the editing of your Tracking Items
4. IMPORTANT: Set tracking items to ACTIVE for them to function
5. Configure:
   • Default values
   • Units of measurement
   • Warning thresholds
   • Critical warning levels

Tracking Measurements

Use this section to define physical measurements taken around the car:

• Examples: Floor plank thickness, ride height measurement points
• Measurements for regulatory compliance
• Quality control checkpoints

 

Benefits of Custom Specifications

• Complete Vehicle Coverage: Track components not covered by pre-defined specs
• Flexible Detail Level: Choose the appropriate level of detail for your needs
• Integrated Calculations: Custom specs work with ONE RACEHUB's calculation system
• Comprehensive Tracking: Monitor usage, wear, and performance of all components

With Custom Specifications properly configured, you can track and manage every aspect of your vehicle that's important to your racing program.
