![]() The modified A833 was only allowed in a class that it really wasn’t designed for. However, the transmission was not allowed in its intended racing class because the rulemakers thought it would give Chrysler an unfair advantage. These transmissions were made with completely new gears, which was also a first because few people back then had the resources to do such a thing. Next modified a Chrysler A833 with clutchless gears and won bestengineered product at the 1974 SEMA Show. Liberty patented the concept of the pro-shift ring as a modification to a factory gear by grinding off the old engagement teeth and welding a new pro-shift ring. The ring decreased the number of clutch teeth to 12 but increased the width, giving them back their holding power.īy 1972, business was so good that Joe left Cadillac Motors and started Liberty’s High Performance Products. Reducing the number of clutch teeth from 36 to 18 may have increased shift speed, but it promoted more wear. Joe Liberty slick shifted his friend’s transmissions for drag racing. His design revolutionized the way transmissions shifted, and his name became synonymous with drag-race transmissions. In the mid 1960s a tool-and-diemaker for Cadillac was trying to improve on the slick-shifting concept. This shows the intricate machining of a Formula 1 titanium shift barrel and dog rings. The broken teeth are ground away to make a 3-speed dirt track transmission. The opposite gear has to be on the exact same tooth, or the transmission will lock up.īar stock cut for an input shaft made out of 9310VAR alloy.Ī G-Force racing countergear is being machined for a T5.Ī Muncie 4-speed countergear that had broken first gear is recycled.

The larger window allows for higher RPM shifts. Notice how large the window is between the lugs. Stock Muncie input on the left, and one modified with Liberty’s Pro Shift Ring on the right.Ī JT5 Enduro gear has this removable dog ring faceplate. Every other tooth has been machined away to create the 18-tooth gear. The standard A833 slider ring featured 36 teeth, but Chrysler was the only one of the Big Three to offer an 18-tooth slick-shift slider ring. In fact, you could purchase from Chrysler complete, new gearsets and sliders for the A833. You purchased the sliders and modified your own gears. This technique is called “slick shifting.” From the 1960s to the early 1980s, it was possible to find new sliders specifically made for slick shifting. The downside is that the engagement teeth must carry double the load they were originally designed for. At 6,000 rpm I now have the surface speed of a 3,000-rpm shift. ![]() So, getting back to those 36 engagement teeth, if I remove every other tooth on the gear and slider, I’ve effectively cut my surface speed in half. However, if I remove every 10 pickets from the fence I can get the stick through the fence at 60 mph just as easily as if I were standing still. If I’m standing still, I can stick it between the pickets, but if I’m driving by at 60 mph, the stick may bounce off the fence. I always associate this with trying to place a stick through a picket fence while driving by that fence at 60 mph. When spinning above 6,000 rpm, the surface speed of the gear and slider can be very different in certain ratios. The matching slider that engages the gear has the same number of teeth. In a typical synchronized 4-speed, such as a Muncie, T10, Chrysler, or Ford Toploader, the transmission has 36 engagement or clutch teeth on the gear. With the newer style of metal alloys available today combined with the state-of-the-art CNC machining and 3D modeling, gear design has evolved to a level that allows for stronger horsepower capacity within a smaller configuration. ![]() Endurance events, such as NASCAR-style racing, require designs to be as light and efficient as possible. In a road-race environment, automatic design does not allow for quick ratio changes, quick tear-down, or the availability of efficient 4-, 5-, 6-, or even 7-speeds. Daytona may require a different set of ratios compared to Sebring. There are many gear ratios needed to negotiate various race tracks.

Radioshark houston2/1/2024 ![]() The idea for the name came from an employee, Bill Halligan, who went on to form the Hallicrafters company. The Deutschmanns thought the name was appropriate for a store that would supply the needs of radio officers aboard ships, as well as hams (amateur radio operators). They chose the name " Radio Shack", which was the term for a small, wooden structure that housed a ship's radio equipment. The brothers opened a one-store retail and mail-order operation in the heart of downtown Boston at 46 Brattle Street. The company was started as Radio Shack in 1921 by two brothers, Theodore and Milton Deutschmann, who wanted to provide equipment for the nascent field of amateur radio (also known as ham radio). On March 2, 2023, Retail Ecommerce Ventures announced that it was mulling a possible bankruptcy filing. Currently, RadioShack operates primarily as an e-commerce website with a network of independently owned and franchised RadioShack stores, as well as a supplier of parts for HobbyTown USA. RadioShack was acquired by Retail Ecommerce Ventures, a holding company owned by Alex Mehr and self-help influencer Tai Lopez, in November 2020. As a result, RadioShack shuttered several company-owned stores and announced plans to shift its business primarily online. In March 2017, General Wireless and subsidiaries filed for bankruptcy, claiming that a store-within-a-store partnership with Sprint was not as profitable as expected. In May 2015, the company's assets, including the RadioShack brand name and related intellectual property, were purchased by General Wireless, a subsidiary of Standard General, for US$26.2 million. In February 2015, after years of management crises, poor worker relations, diminished revenue, and 11 consecutive quarterly losses, RadioShack was delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and subsequently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. At its peak in 1999, Tandy operated over 8,000 RadioShack stores in the United States, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada.īy the mid-2000s, RadioShack was facing financial decline. ![]() The company was purchased by Tandy Corporation in 1962, shifting its focus from radio equipment to hobbyist electronic components. It was initially established as an amateur radio mail-order business centered in Boston, Massachussetts.

Forza motorsport 8 20222/1/2024 ![]() With only a minute-long trailer to tide us over until Turn 10 is willing to share more, that's about all we know surrounding the next Forza Motorsport. We hope this is something we'll see a lot of in game, and not just hype material for the trailer. Likewise, Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca appears in this trailer, and looks stunning, with dust, smoke and dirt flying about the track surface and rays of light breaking through the trees that line the iconic Corkscrew. There are certainly some impressive visuals shown in the trailer, like a painstakingly-detailed engine bay of a Mazda Lola B12/80 prototype, and the reflection of a crew member off the side of an Apollo Intensa Emozione race car. Ray tracing also looks to be visible across many scenes in the trailer, particularly when the reflection of a surrounding garage is visible off a helmet's visor.Īt this stage, however, that's really all we know. The trailer was created in-engine, according to Turn 10, and the game will run at native 4K resolution and 60 frames per second on Xbox Series X. We don't know a whole lot about how Forza Motorsport will look in action yet. The engine of a Mazda IMSA prototype looks fantastic in the teaser trailer. The studio says we can expect further details on what to expect from the new title as 2020 rolls on. Suspension modelling has also been altered as well.Ĭonsidering all of that, the next Forza Motorsport sounds like a reboot in the most earnest sense, both on and off the track. ![]() The track surface will now get "rubbered in" as cars repeatedly beat on the asphalt every lap, dynamically altering grip levels, corner by corner, over the course of a race. There'll be a redesigned tire model and tire pressure model, and heat and atmospheric pressure will now have an effect on both how your rubber meets the road as well as engine power. It would certainly explain the seismic shift in focus that Esaki was teasing late last year.īut what about the simulation itself? Well, Esaki also briefly touched upon enhancements to Turn 10's Forzatech physics engine all those months ago, rattling off a list of areas in which the development team has aimed to improve handling and car behavior for the next game. Imagine being at the helm of your own racing team where you have control of the operation from top to bottom. It's a reach of course, and Turn 10 hasn't shed light on any of this, but we're wondering if the Forza Motorsport reboot will expand upon team management to complement the on-track gameplay. There's also an extensive branding suite in Codemasters' latest F1 title, and, sure enough, branding could play a role in Forza's next act as well, given the green and black motif of the fictional club depicted in the trailer.Īpollo GT cars pour down Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca's iconic corkscrew. Racing fans will note that new for this year, F1 2020 added an experience called My Team, which functions partly like the season campaign of old, but also features some fresh team management mechanics to deepen the off-track activity.Įvocative of what we witnessed in the Forza trailer, F1 2020 consists of many fake sponsors, which you sign to earn your team some cash - though, of course, you have to meet their objectives to get paid. That last part might sound inconsequential, but it could be a giveaway as to what Turn 10 is looking to introduce in its next project. 2021 Cadillac #31 Whelen Racing DPi-V.The clip is flush with scenes of race cars half apart in garages, crew members and drivers scurrying about, walls of screens monitoring on track activity and, interestingly, many fake sponsors and logos.2017 Aston Martin Aston Martin Racing V12 Vantage GT3 #7.While we don't have a final list yet of the 500 cars that will be playable in Forza Motorsport, Turn 10 has added a handy list of the cars that can be glimpsed in its trailers so far, so we know all of the following should be driveable in-game: |
