MINI BAJA

Mini Baja goals Modular suspension Concept Analysis Rebuild of rear frame Automated transmission Air shifting system Implementation of electronics

Modular suspension Bolt on hoop design Symmetric about the center of car Installation in less then 20 min

Analysis on suspension Deflection testing Finite element analysis Bolt selection

Frame changes Narrow the frame to account for added hoops Add brake to center shaft Create space for air components

Air shifting system Air compressor CFM Battery Air tank Size Weight Cylinders Shifting Clutch
