UNLV Baja SAE - Rebel Racing

UNLV Baja SAE - Rebel Racing UNLV SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers)

Design > Build > Test > Compete UNLV SAE has two teams with different building goals, the Aero and the Baja.

Both consist of regional competitions that simulate real-world engineering design projects and their related challenges. For SAE Aero, while integrating several engineering disciplines: aeronautical, mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering, teams are required to create an aircraft, trading between two potentially conflicting requirements, carrying the highest payload fraction possible, wh

ile simultaneously pursuing the lowest empty weight possible. For the SAE Baja, Engineering students are tasked to design and build an off-road vehicle that will survive the severe punishment of rough terrain and sometimes even water.

We want to say a massive “Thank You” to Sunshine Metals and PASU Progressive Alloy. They made the latest Rebel Racing sponsored Senior Design project entirely possible with their donation of 7075 and 6061 aluminum and 4340 alloy. Likewise, they also provided 9310 stock for us and then even water jetted the material.

The parts for the radial piston hydraulic motor were machined completely from materials provided by these sponsors, making this project possible. Specifically, components such as the hydraulic manifold, rotating cylinder block, wear plates, cylinder bores, the cam ring, output shaft, and the case were all crafted with the material provided by them. Thank you Sunshine Metals and PASU Progressive Alloy! We are so grateful for your donation!

Our team would not be able to push the limits without the support of our generous sponsors!

Having the support of sponsors, like allows us to get the tools and materials we need to push our team forward and excel on and off the track. Lincoln Electric has supplied us with high quality welding consumables and protective gear to help fuel the future of Rebel Racing.

Thank you Lincoln Electric!
