Construction
Method:
Previous years of the student from the Mechanical Engineering Technology program building Radio-Controlled Baja Cars conceived this project's idea. The analysis, design, manufacturing, and testing are completed within the CWU campus's restraints and capabilities of Central's Hogue building. Also following the constraints of the ASME Radio-Controlled Baja Car Contest Rules. There was a lot of hardship this building quarter and having to reschedule and apart from new circumstances. There was less time to create custom parts, and the car built had to rely on pre-made parts.
Construction:
This half of the project contains 21 parts and 3 sub-assemblies; most of them are 3D printed and laser cut. The rest of the main parts that are not custom manufactured are secondhand use or a connecting part like a screw or a nut that is a stander part to be bought.

Gearbox version 2.0:
After a few week of testing the first version of the gear box kept fall apart. So a single speed gear box was made so the gear had less to travel and less space to skip or shift. Also because it is smaller it much easier to fix when it need to be fixed.
