Testing. Testing.


They see me rollin'




This is a clip of my first test drive on my dune buggy.  I ended up having my chain fall off .  The buggy was actually stuck in the ditch for an hour before a neighbor came over to help us push it out.

Air System + Sheild

So for this pneumatic shifter, I have an air cylinder pushing the clutch lever arm up and another air cylinder pushing or pulling it into gear.  I have all the actuation controlled through pneumatic valves hooked up to a timer.  The whole action is triggered by my paddle shifter.
