The all-terrain vehicle going purely for entertainment purposes, so the author focused on industrial ATVs and the assembly of his car. However, there are a number of design differences that have a positive impact on the cross-country ability of the all-terrain vehicle and significantly distinguish it from the background of standard-class ATVs.
The car has excellent qualities of cross-country ability and reliability, largely due to its low weight.
During the construction of this model of a homemade ATV, the following parts and materials were used:
1) water pipe with a diameter of 32 mm
2) pipe 27 mm
3) Internal combustion engine from the car Oka 11113
4) Gearbox from the same oki
5) front and rear gears from a classic vase
6) hubs and grenades from vaz 2109
7) fiberglass
Consider in more detail the stages of construction of this all-terrain vehicle:
To begin with, the author made a frame using a water pipe with a 32 mm diameter.
The suspension of the all-terrain vehicle of a homemade design is organized using A-shaped levers, which are made of a pipe with a diameter of 27 mm.
The engine and gearbox from the Oka were installed, the differential was welded.
The gear ratio of the front and rear gearboxes is 43 to 11, they were converted to internal grenades from the Nine frets.
Hubs and disc brakes from the VAZ 2109 were installed, and the wheels were delivered with a radius of 15 through spacers.
Then the author began work on installing and adjusting the clutch of the all-terrain vehicle:
It was originally planned to make the clutch on the steering wheel like motorcycles, but then it was decided to make it under the left foot, despite the unusual solution for the ATV, it turned out to be quite convenient from the words of the author. That is, there are no problems with shifting gears on the go. Moreover, the all-terrain vehicle is able to pull off in any gear even with a passenger on board, engine power is enough. Therefore, the gears are not changed as often, when traveling on the roadway, only the third and fourth gears are used mainly, and off-road the first and second gears, respectively, as lower gears.
A transfer case of the author’s own design was organized, thanks to which it was possible to disable the front axle. Below is a photo of the entire front axle shutdown mechanism, where you can see the main elements of the parts:
Work was done on the rear suspension of an all-terrain vehicle:
The frame of the machine for gluing fiberglass is being prepared:
The process of fixing fiberglass to the machine:
Then the author proceeded to paint work on the all-terrain vehicle:
The design vulnerability, as you can see from the photographs, is the anthers on the grenades. The author has not yet decided how to protect them from possible gaps.
In the next photo, the gear selection mechanism is clearly visible, as you can see in the photo, the lever was a bit distant from the engine, since before that it was installed closer and the author often burned himself on the muffler, there was especially a chance of such an injury when switching on the reverse gear. At the moment, the problem is completely eliminated by moving the lever:
There is no photo on the radiator yet, but what exactly are you interested in?
The radiator of the all-terrain vehicle is hidden under plastic right in front of the instrument panel, despite the fact that the hole there is quite small, it is enough to cool the car. Although there may be problems when driving in heavy mud, as the hole is easily clogged, and cooling from the incoming air does not work. But the fan copes with such a load, although the all-terrain vehicle is not operated due to heavy dirt. In addition, the fan turns on only at really strong loads, which is extremely rare.
The reason for this is that the device itself turned out to be quite light and the engine from oki copes with loads perfectly.
Below is a photo of the placement of the radiator:
The all-terrain vehicle has an approximate mass of about 450 kilograms.
Video test all-terrain vehicle when driving in the snow:
If you watched the video, you probably drew attention to the slipping of the rear wheel as much as several meters, which should say about the operation of the rear differential. This all-terrain vehicle is very different from industrial ones, since they do not have a rear differential and the rear axle always rows, which does not interfere with ATV handling at all, since the width of the car is small.
The author also wanted to initially brew the rear differential, but he thought that he would always have time to do this, and decided to try to ride with the differential for now. But since the cross-country ability of the all-terrain vehicle arranged and there were no problems with the rear axle, the author did not have any desire to disassemble the structure and brew the rear differential.
That is why the all-terrain vehicle remained with the rear differential.
The only author plans to install more serious wheels on an all-terrain vehicle. Or remove the stands for 15 drives by installing disks with a 4 in 100 bolt pattern from Logan or Opel, which perfectly fit the VAZ hubs.
The author of an all-terrain vehicle with the nickname "SashaKU" from the city of Cherepovets, Vologda Oblast.
