Design And Fabrication Of Off Road Racing Vehicle

1. INTRODUCTION
In India the first automobile ran in early 19
th
century, from that time till today
there has been is vast development in the different automobile sectors A vehicle is
categori!ed as"small cars, #edium car, $state cars, sports cars etc
%here is very less development in the racing cars category, especially for off
road race vehicles in India And our aim is to design and develop such a vehicle &hich
is especially for the off road races &hich are held in many countries other than India
'asically &e tried to design and develop such a vehicle &hich can meet off road race
conditions Although automobiles are intended to move over a specially prepared
surface (high&ay), they can move on a natural earth surface &ithout a constructed
road or &ith a little ine*pensive preparation %his capacity of automobile is
characteri!ed by a special property" off +the" road mobility
,A$ (,O-I$%. OF A/%O#O%IV$ $01I0$$RI01) arrange 2#I0I
'A3A4 races , every year in ,outh Africa, /5, /, and no& they are planning to
arrange these 6ind of races in India %his race is open for &orld&ide technical
education universities From last five year, from India only Delhi -ollege of
$ngineering is participating in this event 7e have tried to design and develop the
vehicle &hich fulfills the ma*imum re8uirements of this race and &e hope to ma6e
further changes as per racing needs
%he design of the chassis &as first done9 &e have designed chassis in such a
&ay that it can sustain any :er6 or impact and fulfill the entire re8uirement for &hich
the vehicle has been designed 7e have made t&o frames and then :oined them firmly,
to give more strength to the chassis
%he engine &e have ta6en is of 'ullet ;<=cc, >etrol, 1?@A 'B> %his engine
fulfills all po&er re8uirement of the vehicle %his engine is of ne& model (standard)
'ullet 7e have selected the clutch and gear bo* of the same standard 'ullet For this
purpose &e bought &hole assembly of engine, clutch and gear bo*

%he basic 8uestion then &e had been about the differential 7e selected the
differential of the Auto ric6sha& (old model, front engine), &hich &as suitable for our
po&er transmission to the rear a*les %he po&er transmission in bet&een the gear bo*
and differential is through a chain and sproc6et arrangement %his differential has
for&ard and reverse gear options ,o &e got four for&ard gears and four reverse gears
option &ith same differential A separate lever is provided on the differential to
change the reverse or for&ard motion
Independent suspension is used in all four &heels &ith coil spring and damper
7e have selected the front suspension of #aruti A@@ for all four &heels as per our
design 7e have altered the coil springs for its soft &or6ing 7e have increased the
free length of the front side coil spring C inches and rear 1D inches on the basis of itEs
free length
%he &heel hub is of the #aruti A@@ for all four &heels, because &e have four
&heel independent suspensions %he stabili!ing bar used in the vehicle is also of the
#aruti A@@, but &e have modified it as per our &heel trac6 for front and rear side
%his vehicle is rear engine rear &heel drive %he a*les used are of #aruti Fen
(ne& model v*i) 7e had changed the lengths of a*les as per our dimensions and for
smooth drive 7e matched the Auto Ric6sha&Es a*le &ith #aruti FenEs a*le, to get
the drive from Differential to the &heels
%he ne*t basic 8uestion &e had, the control of the vehicle %o control the
vehicle safely and 8uic6ly &e decided to fit the four &heel disc bra6e facility %hen
&e designed the bra6ing system for the vehicle As per our design &e chose the disc
bra6e assembly (front side) of #aruti Aoo model for all four &heels 7e have also
selected the same bra6ing fluid pipeline used in the #aruti A@@, but &e have to shape
it as per our re8uirements

2. ENGINE SELECTION
REQUIREMENT:-
7hen &e decided to design and develop the off road vehicle for 2#I0I 'A3A
RA-$,4, then firstly &e studied the basic engine re8uirements for this race li6e cc,
tor8ue limitations %hen by considering the total &eight of the vehicle including the
driverEs &eight &e calculated the total po&er re8uired to propel the vehicle One more
important point &e considered &as traction re8uired for off roads %hen &e finally
calculated the total po&er re8uired %he total po&er re8uired &as about 1?9@ 'B>
SURVEY:-
7e made survey of the mar6et for engines available in that range 7e found
t&o bi6es falling under this category namely .amaha RD ;D@ (t&o stro6e) and 'ullet
;D@ (four stro6e) 'ut &e selected the engine of the 'ullet ;D@ cc (actually;<=cc),
petrol 'ecause .amaha RD ;D@ engine no& a days is not easily available in mar6et
and the parts are also not available easily 'ut in case of the 'ullet the engine and
spare parts are easily and cheaply available %or8ue of this engine &as also up to our
re8uirements #aintenance of 'ullet engine is also less and cheap as compared to the
RD
7hile calculating the running gear parameters, the magnitude of the po&er
loss coefficient is determined and soil condition is assumed %he e*perience of using
four"&heel drive automobiles sho&s that, &hen used off"the"road &ith hard surface,
their permissible speed is limited by the suspension capabilities %he basis for engine
selection is the po&er re8uired to 6eep the vehicle moving on the most probable road
and mud condition as &ell as the results of economic analysis and feasibility
evaluation An increase in the specific po&er leads to an improvement in the off"road
mobility of the automobile
%he basic thing about the 'ullet engine &as that it &as in our budget And this
engine is also permissible for 2#I0I 'A3A4 in all the &ay li6e &eight, si!e etc 7e
bought second hand engine of 'ullet &ith clutch and gear bo* assembly 7e have

-hassis of the automobile is the main supporting member on &hich the
follo&ing components are mounted
1 $ngine
C 1earbo*, clutch
; ,uspension system
< ,teering system
D Fuel tan6 N supply system
LOAD ACTION ON CHASSIS:-
a) 7eight of the component and driver causing a sagging effect due to
bending action
b) Bori!ontal forces provided by road irregularities act on the end of the
side members deflecting the rectangular frame to a parallelogram
c) /p&ard t&isting forces caused by road shoc6s to provide a torsional
effect
In order to provide a good resistance to bending and torsional effect the frame
section should be made of proper form %here are three common types of frame
sections, channel, tubular and bo* or s8uare sections &hich are used for motor
vehicles
-hannel section provides good resistance to bending but is poor in torsion
&hile tubular section provides is good resistance to torsion but poor resistance to
bending %he bo* section is comparatively resistant to bending and torsion Due to
above properties &e used three sections 1
st
&e made a tubular frame, but it &as not
sufficient to sustain various loads ,o &e used -"section for rest and bo* section for
engine mounting to give a good load sustaining characteristic to frame

4. TRANSMISSION
FUNCTIONS OF TRANSMISSION:-
1 %he tor8ue or %ractive effort produced by the engine varies &ith speed only
&ithin narro& limits 'ut the practical consideration for the running of
automobile under different condition demands a large variation of tor8ue
available at &heels %he main purpose of transmission is to provide a means to
vary the tor8ue ratio bet&een the engine and the road &heels as re8uired
C %he transmission also provides a neutral position so that the engine and the
road &heels are disconnected even &ith clutch in engaged position
; A means to bac6 the car by reversing the direction of rotation of the drive is
also provided by transmission

REQUIREMENTS OF CLUTCH:-
1 %he clutch should be able to transmit ma*imum tor8ue produced by the engine
under all condition
C %he clutch should positively ta6e the drive gradually &ithout the occurrence of
sudden :er6
; %he clutch should be able to eliminate the noise and vibration produced &hile
transmitting po&er
< ,i!e of clutch should be as small as possible so that it can occupy minimum
space
D For higher tor8ue transmission the operation of disengagement should not be
tiresome to driver
%he main function of clutch is to transmit a tor8ue by 1CD"1D@L of the
ma*engine tor8ue For that purpose &e re8uire a clutch unit &hich transmits the
tor8ue of C?< 0m M CA?D rpm of 'ullet ;D@Also &ith in a si!e range of engine N

3. DIFFERENTIAL:-
In a car travel in a straight line, the t&o rear &heels turn on the road &ith same
speed %here is no relative motion bet&een the t&o rear &heels 'ut &hen the car
ta6es a turn, the outer &heel travels on a longer radius than the inner &heel %here is a
relative motion bet&een the t&o rear &heels
If the t&o rear &heels are rigidly fi*ed to a rear a*le, the inner &heel &ill slip
&hich &ill cause rapid tyre &ear, steering difficulty and poor road holding %hus in
order to avoid s6idding and slippage of one drive &heel in relative to other &hile
cornering some device must be provided to provide relative motion
%he differential serves this purpose of providing relative motion bet&een to
t&o &heels

!INGPIN INCLINATION:-
5ingpin inclination (or 5>I) is the in&ard tilt of the 6ingpin from the vertical
(Fig) 5ingpin inclination is desirable for several reasons First, it helps provide
steering stability by tending to return the &heel to the straight ahead position after any
turn9 second, it reduces steering effort, particularly &hen the car is stationary and
third, it reduces tire &ear

1. TYRES2 ROAD WHEELS AND BEARINGS
TYRE REQUIREMENTSO"
>neumatic tyres for motor vehicles must basically satisfy the follo&ing re8uirementsO
,upport the &eight of the vehicle and distribute it over the road surface
%o offer the minimum rolling resistance to the motion of the vehicle and thus
reduce po&er absorption
%o contribute to the suspension cushioning of impact forces created by road
surface irregularities
%o permit the generation of traction, bra6ing and steering forces on dry or &et
road surfaces
%o confer safe operation up to the ma*imum speed of vehicle
%o provide 8uiet straight"ahead running and freedom from s8ueal on cornering
and bra6ing
%o reali!e an acceptable tread life under varied running conditions
TYRE CHARACTERSTICSO"
7hen a vehicle is being driven along the road, the tyres are acted upon by a
comple* and variable system of forces that arise in the vertical, longitudinal and
lateral directions %he manner in &hich the tyres react to these forces defines their
main characteristics,
CUSHIONING ABILITYO"
%he pneumatic tyre contributes to the ride comfort of the vehicle by
acting as a spring in series &ith the suspension system (figure)
RI%, Rararamnagar
;;
Design And Fabrication Of Off Road Racing Vehicle
ROLLING RESISTANCEO"
'asic consideration affecting the fle*ibly tyred &heel, freely rolling
on a rigid"road surface, is that it must inherently posses a resistance to motion %his
effect arises because the deformation of the tyre tread tends
7e used regular radial ply tyres used for cars and vans %hey are cheaply and
easily available 'ut for races a special tyres are re8uired having high coefficient of
friction and high &idth It is not easily available and is of high cost, thus considering
cost reduction factor &e used the radial ply tyres
ROAD WHEELS AND HUBSO"
%he design features necessary for all &heels may be summari!ed as in the
follo&ing sections
LIGHTWEIGHT CONSTRUCTIONO"
$ach &heel adds significantly to the unsprung mass of its suspension
mechanism ,ince it is easier for a shoc6 damper to control the bouncing movements
of a small rather than a large unsprung mass, it follo&s that for good road holding the
&heel should be made as light as possible
STRENGTH AND RIGIDITYO"
A &heel must possess sufficient strength to &ithstand all normal service loads
imposed upon it It must further be rigid or stiff enough as a structure to minimi!e
bending deflection under steering and cornering loads
TYRE RETENTIONO"
%he design of the &heel rim must permit the mounting and removal of the tyre
and retain it securely in position &hen inflated
RI%, Rararamnagar

Design And Fabrication Of Off Road Racing Vehicle
WHEEL HUBS AND BEARINGS O"
%he arrangement of hubs and bearings used in a*les is as follo&sO
1 Independent front suspension (IF,) &ith non"driven
C Independent front suspension (IF,) &ith driven &heels
; Independent rear suspension (IR,) &ith driven &heels
< Independent rear suspension (IR,) &ith non"driven &heels
7e used 0umber 1 N ;, &hich areO"
1. IFS 3)%4 "+"-&.)5-" 34--6,O"
%he hub bearing arrangements for this system generally continue to follo&
those of beam"a*le mounted &heels %hat is, each hub rotates about a dead spindle
through the medium of an opposed pair of either angular"contact ball, or tapered
roller, bearings Bo&ever, the re8uirements in respect of their load carrying capacity
have tended to increase, because of the more for&ard mounting of the engine
permitted by IF,
2. IRS 3)%4 &.)5-" 34--6,O"
For driven rear &heels independently sprung by popular semi"trailing arm
system, the modern approach is to use a double"ro& angular"contact ball bearing hub
unit similar to that described for IF, &ith driven &heels ,ince the bearing
arrangements in both, cases are basically the same, one manufacturer for e*ample
uses a common hub bearing unit for the driven front &heels of one model and for the
driven rear &heels of another For heavy"duty applications, the earlier practice of
using an opposed pair of either deep"groove ball, or tapered roller, bearings may still
be follo&ed
7e used cast alloy &heel of #aruti car %hey are cheaply easily available It is
light in &eight and one piece casting Bave high strength and light in &eight

7. SUSPENSION SYSTEM
%he suspension of modern vehicles need to satisfy a number of re8uirements
&hose aims partly conflict because of different operating conditions (loaded K
unloaded , acceleration K bra6ing , level K uneven road, straight running K cornering)
,ufficient vertical spring travel, possibly combined &ith the hori!ontal
movement of the &heel a&ay from an uneven area of road (6inematics &heel) is
re8uired for reasons of ride comfort %he recession suspension should also be
complaint for purpose of reducing the rolling stiffness of tyres and short"stro6e
movement in longitudinal direction resulting from the road surface, but &ith affecting
the development of lateral &heel forces and hence steering precision, for &hich the
most rigid &heel suspension is re8uired %his re8uirement is undermined as a result of
the necessary fle*ibility that results from disturbing &heel moment generated by
longitudinal forces arising from driving and bra6ing operation
REQUIREMENT OF SUSPENSION SYSTEM:-
Independent movement of each of the &heels on a*le
,mall, unsprung masses of the suspension in order to 6eep &heel load
fluctuating as lo& as possible
%he introduction of &heel forces into the body in manner favorable to the flo&
of forces
%he necessary room and e*penditure for construction purposes, bearing in
mind the necessary tolerances &ith regards to geometry and stability
$ase for use
'ehavior &ith regards to the passive safety of passengers and other road user

Design And Fabrication Of Off Road Racing Vehicle
INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION SYSTEMO"
%he chassis of a passenger car must be able to handle the engine po&er
installed $ver improving acceleration, higher pea6 and cornering speeds, and
deceleration leads to significantly increased re8uirements for safer chassis %he
independent &heel suspension follo&s this trend
%he independent &heel suspension has follo&ing advantages"
,teering effect due to lateral movement of the tyre K road contact patch, as the
&heel rises and falls are obviated
A*le tramp, and particularly that associated &ith alternative &ind"up and
release leaf of springs sub:ected to bra6e tor8ue, is obviated
It is possible to obtain softer suspension &ith large &heel displacements
&ithout raising the center of gravity
Variation in castor angle due to &ind"up in obviated
A coil spring can be more easily accommodated close to a &heel that has to be
steered than can be semi"elliptic spring
/nsprung mass is lighter and therefore the ride 8uality improves
%he roll center can be lo&er and the spring base &ider, so the roll resistance is
higher %he effect of high roll resistance is that softer springing can be used
&hich reduces the tendency to pitch
Hittle space re8uired
Ho& &eight
%he independent suspension system has many advantages as compared to
other suspension system &hich are stated above ,o &e decided to use independent
suspension system for &heels
%he simplest independent suspension is #c>herson strut suspension It is used
in almost all the vehicles
RI%, Rararamnagar
;?
Design And Fabrication Of Off Road Racing Vehicle
MCPHERSON STRUT AND STRUT DAMPERS:-
Fig no A1O #c>herson strut suspension
7e used #aruti A@@ #c>herson strut suspension system for both front and
rear &heels as our location of engine is on rear side It is easily available and has lo&
cost then any other suspension system
Our vehicle had a &eight of ;A@ 6g &hich &as not enough for the &or6ing of
suspension, so small vibration &as transfered to the steering %o overcome this
problem &e :ust increased the free length of the coil spring 0o& the suspension is
free enough to absorb the vibration %his change &as made in the suspension
ANTI ROLL BARS:-
An anti"roll bar is basically a torsion bar type of spring &ith angled ends, and
its action is sho&n in (Figure) It is mounted transversely and in such a manner as to
connect the locating lin6ages of opposite &heels, &hile remaining torsion ally free
&ith respect to the vehicle structure It thus performs the function of resisting rolling,
as its name &ould suggest, but not bouncing motions of the vehicle Bo&ever, the
amount of roll restraint contributed by an anti"roll bar must necessarily be limited,
RI%, Rararamnagar
;A
Design And Fabrication Of Off Road Racing Vehicle
because it also has the effect of stiffening the suspension in response to single &heel
bumps and can therefore compromise ride comfort
%he anti"roll bar &as once generally confined in application to the front
suspension, because it had the effect of redistributing the overall lateral &eight
transfer bet&een the front and rear pairs of tyres in favour of promoting under steer
%he slip angle of a tyre can also be increased if the vertical load becomes greater,
&hich is the effect that the addition of an anti"roll bar has on the already heavily
loaded outer &heel of a pair during cornering In more recent years there has been a
trend to include an anti"roll bar in the rear suspension system as &ell, partly to correct
any condition of e*cessive under steer and partly to reduce roll further
7e used anti roll bars in the rear side also 7e had to increase the length of the
stabili!er bar by cutting it and fi*ing another bar by &ielding %his made us easy to fit
the bar at proper place

<. TESTING AND PERFORMANCE
For any vehicle &hich is manufactured has to go through the some important
tests %hese tests are generally carried to get the performance of the vehicle for
particular test condition %hese tests are carried out by the manufacturer itself As per
the class or type of the vehicle the different tests are decided
>erformance of the vehicle is defined as the results of the different tests for
particular vehicle ItEs unit may be time, angle, 6ilometer per hour (6ph) etc For the
testing purpose of the vehicles manufactured in India government has established the
centers li6e ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India), VRD$ (Vehicle
research And Development $stablishment)%he basic function of these centers is to
test the different class of vehicles &hich are manufactured in India and going to
launching in fe& days
In this centers the different trac6s, road conditions, different machineries
re8uired for the tests are available 7ithout the permission of ARAI no vehicle can be
sell in India, by any manufacturer %here are ideal conditions are maintained in these
centers for testing purpose

4. FUEL CONSUMPTION=
For every vehicle this point is very important 'y 6no&ing this &e can get the
idea about the average or mileage of that vehicle It is nothing but the fuel
consumption by the vehicle in particular distance From that &e can easily calculate
the mileage of that vehicle for one litter of the fuel
For this test &e too6 the vehicle on the trac6 as same as made for the race and
