2025 Vehicle

General

2025 marks UMBC Racing's 21th entry in the Baja SAE racing series. We have continued a propshaft powered 4WD system with major changes involving our 4WD selection system and a suspension overhaul

Suspension

This year our suspension system saw additional shock travel added to the rear suspension along with extensive research and tuning being dedicated to our shocks to improve handling over obstacles

Drivetrain

Drivetrain saw an updated gearbox with the removal of a gearset for weight reduction along with a fully redesigned dog clutch + housing

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 saw overall packaging and reliability improvements lengthing service intervals
