Traction control, wheel speed sensors... who wants 'em?

[TitaniumTT]

I was told to use mild steel for the best signal quality. When the .dxf are finalized I'm going to keep a copy in a safe place. From what I understand many of the lazer cutters won't take on a small order much like the one that's going on here. There are a few water jet co's out there that will, but they'll be more expensive. The one in the lic is a water jet piece, and it was something like $27... EACH.... so yeah, 3-5x the price for small shit.

I'm not going to powdercoat these as it may affect the pickup. Candnium or zinc plating is where it's gonna be at.

You have means to do that plating? I would think the zinc would be prone to flaking due to press fit and what not.

I know of a waterjet company that does a $150 min order for whatever you want (Regardless of what you want cut the minimum order will come to be $150, if materials and labor are in excess of that, the price is reflected to match).

Well... nevermind. I just double checked. The PS1k and PS2k don't have traction control based on wheel speed . They have boost control tables based on gear, but not wheel speed. . If that changes I may be interested in it.

I don't have the means to do that plating, but I know of a few co's that can, as does my buddy who is doing the cutting.

Nothing is a press fit either. The pressing is the rear wheel bearings in and out of the carriers to get the trigger wheel on the back of the flange.... thatnks for reminding me... gonna go grab a busted bearing and pull a diameter see if we can't make the wheel a little wider on the OD to avoid pressing the hub out of the bearing and destroying them. Pressing the bearing out in one piece as oppoed to pressing the hub out of the bearing. Anyone who has replaced the rear wheel bearings on an FC know's what I'm talking about.

That was about what it was up around here. I did find one down south that would just cut whatever. I used him for the original order which was average $30/wheel. Lazer is faster, and thus cheaper.

I think Haltech could be able to get traction control off wheel speed input without much issue (read that as nothing more than a software upgrade). They already have the inputs for it. All that would need to be done would be a spring-mass-damper (PID) to balance both the engine generated wheel speed and the vehicle actual speed by either ignition or fuel correction.
