What happens if you don’t have a rear differential?
Thanks a lot for A2A. The whole purpose of differential is to ensure that the engine’s power is split among the driven wheels at definite proportion when the vehicle encounters a turn. Not using a differential results in skidding of either of the wheels during a turn which may affect tire life.
Is a gearbox with no differential too heavy?
No, it is not. Since we are talking about SAE BAJA here where the velocities are not too high. If you are getting better dynamic conditions through reduction of weight by eliminating the differential and hence a shit load of metal then by all means use a FNR gearbox with no differential.
Why 2015 Zips Baja racing?
2015 Zips Baja Racing We also saw great success in the events of the competition which were heavily about the low gear ratio performance of the vehicle. In 2014 we placed 10thin hill climb, and then in 2015 we placed 13thin hill climb and 7thin suspension/traction.
What is Babaja SAE 2014-15 Baja MQP?
BAJA SAE 2014- 2015 Abstract The purpose of the 2014-15 Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Baja MQP was to design, develop, and manufacture a vehicle within the specifications of the SAE Baja Competition in order to enter a future competition.
How can frame stress and deflection analysis help with Baja SAE competitions?
Stress and deflection analyses in multiple scenarios were conducted on a design similar to the final design and changes were made accordingly until the frame could withstand the many rigors that a vehicle would endure during a Baja SAE competition.
What is the Mini Baja East?
(“History of Mini Baja East,”) The purpose of the MQP was to design and manufacture a Baja SAE vehicle utilizing four wheel drive by the end of the 2014-2015 academic year for the SAE WPI collegiate chapter.
