Default Paddle Shifter: "Danger Will Robinson!"


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
