Sizing and Placement of Components

After most of the cuts on the chassis were made and the differential assembly was ready, the team proceeded to make some rough mock-ups of the motor and inverter.






After the electric motor was delivered, a mock-up of the coupling between the differential and the motor was placed between them.

(Christophe take another look at the assembly)

The differential coupling was designed with simplicity in mind. After the mock-up was built in a CNC router, the stress analysis was executed and the piece outsourced to a nearby professional machine shop.
