Finished Product + Testing Footage

The team has been doing some serious testing and tuning. Camber, castor, and toe have been nearly optimized and the shocks have been tuned to handle rough terrain. We did not receive our CVT tuning kit and we had to modify the parts included with the CVT. It is shifting decently but not as responsive as we would like.

Big, big thanks going out to Jeff and Virgil Elings for their support on the Baja project.


Here is a video with 3 more in the testing section below.

The CV boots always seemed really stressed out and one finally popped off.

The remedy was to cut the small clip on the shaft and move the boot to the next recess. They work much better now.

We went out for a full mock run on private property. The tools and spare parts are loaded in the trailer.

The course took roughly 4'30" per lap. We went up the hill on the right, over a few ridges, dropped down an extremely steep incline to the valley, and returned on the lower road.
