Alasdair Ryan Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) Ok so I made it in 3 minutes..... The brake works by using two small rubber connectors above the two pulley wheels. Turning the top gear brings down the connector slowing down the wheel. I would imagine that if you used a servo motor you could get regulate the brakes power. Feel free to use it in your design,instructions can be made on request. Edited April 21, 2013 by Alasdair Ryan
Carsten Svendsen Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Nice, but I don't think it'll be working that great when you make the car go the other way, since I guess it would just pull of the rubber part.
piterx Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 hey alasdair! i was thinking to something like that for my car :) the only thing is that as my car is FWD i will need to make it quite different because i won't have any differential on the rear axle :) so ill need to make 2 brakes, one for each wheel :P
Alasdair Ryan Posted April 21, 2013 Author Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the feedback. Nice, but I don't think it'll be working that great when you make the car go the other way, since I guess it would just pull of the rubber part. You could always add a bush or have another brake pad on the other side. Edited April 21, 2013 by Alasdair Ryan
Someonenamedjon Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 It looks much simpler than Sheepo's version.
cgg199 Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Nice idea, but surely you would need two, when using a diff, because all the power would be transferred to the right side, where there isn't a brake.
Alasdair Ryan Posted April 21, 2013 Author Posted April 21, 2013 Yes you do,I though most people would of known that..... Also it should be better braced around the axles.
cgg199 Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) Yeah, I thought that as well. It's much simpler than the design that I'm making now, which is similar to Sheepo's, but still simpler than that. Edited April 21, 2013 by cgg199
