Paddle Shifter: Danger Will Robinson!

[Steve Chryssos]

Here's a photo of a paddle shifter we built for a sand rail. It's a 900lb mini rail powered by a 300HP twin turbo Hayabusa drivetrain. Not shown in the picture are the beefed up center boss and quick release mechanism. Boots were added and all electronics were sealed to provide dust and dirt resistence.
The paddle shifter will run the 'busa sequential transmission by way of a Pingel bi-directional electric shifter. This is our first application of the Shrifter in a sequential manual application.

Kinda reminds me of the Lost in Space robot

Thanks. Here's the rig. This will be the first time that one of our paddle shifters will fly thru the air. We're looking forward to the torture testing data. :drive2:

If your at a party ask people if they remember the robots name, They will go crazy trying to remember but...

Even sicker is the 300hp hayubusa motor in a hayabusa! Thats a fast bike stock, must really be nice.

[David Pozzi]

Steve, you can probably rent the guy and the robot for you booth at SEMA! :)
I saw him at a Computer show in san jose probably 10 years ago, he signs autographs for money these days.

The robots name is B9..(played by the actor Bob May)

Steemin, that was a trick question but you got me, I always thought his name was just robot.

I was somewhat embarrassed to admit that I knew the robots name.
I have this curse that I am unable to purge useless bits of information.
On the other hand my wife will share with you I can't remember our anniversary date. :doh:

:eek: Damn, some of these sand rails are just plain nuts. I've seen some with better power to weight ratios than pro racing carts!
