2024 Vehicle

General

2024 marks UMBC Racing's 20th entry in the Baja SAE racing series. We have made the transition to a drive shaft powered 4WD setup. This is the 3rd iteration of our 4WD system

Suspension

This year our suspension recieved a complete overhaul with the transisiton to a double wishbone suspension in the rear along with drastically lowering the overall ride height

Drivetrain

Massive changes were made to our gearbox and clutch systems in order to conform with our new driveshaft and front differential systems.

Steering

Steering was simplified this year due in part to a casted steering rack housing. Our steering wheel is now laser cut aluminum with 3d printed grips for comfort.

Brakes

Brakes have gone outboard in the rear this year. Rotors have been optimized for increased weight savings, bring total weight to roughly 0.5 lbs per rotor.
