![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Most of the components used have been chosen as per the ease of availability and reliability. We selected the battery in consideration of the motor. A suitable motor was selected by determining the required motor power rating, torque, and r.p.m for our design. We used Lotus Shark for designing and testing the suspension system of the dune buggy. We followed Ackermann's steering geometry to set up our steering. The design and development of the chassis comprised of material selection, designing chassis, determining cross-sectional area and thickness of the tubes and determining strength requirements of the roll cage. 4g, 6g, 8g, 10g, and 16g loading criterion was used to simulate the impact behavior on the chassis. A CAD model of the chassis was made using Autodesk Fusion 360 and its Finite Element Analysis was done on the same. A new and lighter dune buggy chassis is proposed in this study. The main objective of this paper is to cover all the aspects of designing an electric dune buggy. ![]()
