  1. Mini Baja 2 Me 4000 Update Presentation

  2. Introduction • Will Radford • Progress thus far • Lance Allen • Schedule, Latest Benchmarking, and Critical Function Prototype • Josh Banks • Refinement of Design Specifications

  3. Current Progress • Items already built or acquired • Items already modeled in SolidWorks

  4. Built or acquired • Tires and rims • Uprights • Locker • Brake lines • Axels (assuming same form fit & function) • Seat mold • Wooden frame prototype

  5. Modeled in SolidWorks • Frame • Front Suspension • Rear Suspension • Engine • Torque Converter

  6. Frame

  7. Front Suspension

  8. Rear Suspension

  9. Engine and Torque Converter Torque Converter Engine

  10. Gantt Chart

  11. Scheduled Goals for This Semester • Finalize overall design • Start manufacturing the frame • Purchase • Frame Tubing • Shocks • Torque Converter

  12. www.oregonsae.org/2004mbw/pics/index.html www.oregonsae.org/2004mbw/pics/index.html Short Wheel Base Long Wheel Base Benchmarking • Optimum wheel base • best overall length • 108” is the recommended length

  13. Critical Function Prototype (C.F.P.) Motivation • Last years model is tight • Ergonomic concerns C.T.F of the Frame

  14. C.F.P. Goals • Find an ergonomic solution • Visually Stimulating • Pass all of the SAE rules • Manufacturability

  15. Lessons from C.F.P. • Cockpit length • Back rest angle • Complexity of manufacture

  16. Refinement of Design • Frame (Modify the angle of front control arm and shock mount). • Frame height requires additional 6”.

  17. Refinement of Design • Transmission using chain drive between gears. • Optimize gear span in torque converter. (acceleration, low end torque and efficiency) • Rear control arms (light, strong, adjustable and stable)

  18. Conclusion • Many items currently modeled in Solidworks • Design revisions under way for frame, control arms, torque converter • Benchmarking continues • On schedule
