Every year our vehicle undergoes substantial changes to keep us at the forefront of our field. For the 2023 year, the vehicle was improved overall in many ways! We are proud to say that this iteration of the "7220 Hunny" took first place at competition in May! 

Suspension & Chasis

From last years car, we have made changes in the rear spring rate as well as ride height to help keep our car optimally sprung and ultimately handle better. On the chassis side, the car was stripped to a bare frame, new brackets and tabs were welded and the chassis was reassembled to make room for other upgrades.

Electrical

Our electrical system also underwent extensive work since last years car. This included a complete new wiring harness for all systems to help weed out electrical gremlins as well as a custom dash designed to

better display necessary vehicle information.

Powertrain

​

For the 2023 season, we made substantial changes to the powertrain via: an upgraded mechanical shifter linkage along with a hydraulic pedal clutch to help improve shifting and feel compared the previous cable hand clutch and shifter, a change in gear ratio for the e-motor to increase the torque, upgraded cv joints and axles to reliably manage suspension travel better, and a new dual radiator and fan setup for both motors to increase thermal efficiency.
