This is TTU Motorsports’ third year at the FSAE Michigan competition. TTU<br />
Motorsports takes pride in that the 2016 Talon’T is entirely built, machined,<br />
fabricated, and powder coated in house. This is the team’s first steel space frame<br />
and is constructed out of 1020 DOM steel for various reasons. The 2016 Talon’T<br />
is stacked with a 626cc Briggs and Stratton Vanguard V-Twin that is a heavily<br />
modified racing version of the industrial engine platform de-stroked to 602 cc.<br />
The suspension has been optimized by a combination of several software tools to<br />
ensure the vehicle maintains maximum traction throughout corners. TTU Motorsports<br />
continues to use a short over long arm configuration in the front with a live<br />
solid axle in the rear. The aerodynamics team has been running CFD simulations<br />
for months in the attempt to get as much downforce out of the vehicle as possible.<br />
The aerodynamics package consists of a 3-element rear wing, floorboard,<br />
front wings, and splitter/skirt.<br />
Thunderwolf Racing 08 has come together as a group of six students to design<br />
an FSAE car for 2016. We are using a 2007 Honda CBR 600 RRA engine that<br />
Lakehead has run for a number of years. A custom 3-D printed intake has been<br />
designed and printed using a glass filled nylon material to withstand the pressure<br />
and temperature demands. AISI 1020 steel tubing has been utilized to create<br />
the space frame where torsional rigidity and weight were chief concerns. The<br />
suspension was designed using upper and lower “A” arms with Ohlin’s dampers<br />
and adjustable ride hide capabilities incorporated. Sway bars on the front and rear<br />
suspension were designed to improve driving dynamics and performance. Pneumatic<br />
shifting with a 3-pedal set up, and magnesium rims wrapped in Hoosier<br />
rubber. The body panels on the 50 car were designed on Solidworks and made<br />
using a female mold and wet layup of Carbon Fibre and Epoxy. We custom fabricated<br />
the aluminum driver’s cell enclosure and seat designed around our drivers.<br />
