CHASSIS and ErgonomicsGoal: Improve Driver Comfort

❏ Steering shaft member was raised by 2” ❏ Pedals moved 6.0” back and 2.75” down ❏ Steering shaft angle decreased by 15°

BRAKES❏ Reverse Pedal Box → Reverse Swing Pedals❏ Increased thickness of Master Cylinder mounts by 0.145”

❏ FOS 3.91: 1 → 5.95: 1❏ Decreased Fabrication time by 33%

POWERTRAIN❏ Weight reduction of 10 lbs in Gearbox❏ Gear ratio increased from 5.4:1 to 7.2:1

❏ Projected increase in torque: 25 ft lb❏ Projected acceleration 12.1 ft/ s^2

REAR SUSPENSION❏ Increased clearance between Lower Lateral Link &

ground❏ Decreased fabrication time of Trailing Arm to

to create spares❏ Improved geometry for cornering by adding a

rear Sway Bar❏ Adjustable roll stiffness
