Milestone 9: Driveshaft Subassembly

Driveshaft Subassembly

Subassembly Breakdown

The driveshaft includes a 1" keyed driveshaft, a safety loop located around the middle of the driveshaft, quick-disconnect couplers and a 1/4-1/4" square machine key to connect the coupler to the shaft. The model also has shielding around the couples to connect to the shielding on the transaxle and clutch shielding. This shielding is compliant with competition rules and covered the couplers on 5 sides. Shown the the left is an exploded view of this design.
