This week I spent time turning shafts on the lathe to press fit gear onto for a gear box. It took some time to get the proper shape. Also there was a lot of time spent redesigning the brake, sizing springs and some wire to make the thing work. I believe the redesign will be fore effective than the caliper and master cylinder system that I originally though of.

So this week, I went through a redesign of the brake and started to machine parts for the bogie. Most of that parts that I made currently were for the steering subteam as well as lathing the main wheel shaft.

This week was mostly dedicated to development of the brake and its design in solidworks. Mostly working on the placement and the movement of the brake actuator.  As well as a bit of research as to where I could pick up a master cylinder and was planning to visit a junkyard today in order to scrap a master cylinder from an available car.
