About Paper:

This research focuses on developing a practical physics-based simulation of a 1/10th scale RC vehicle, specifically addressing the challenge of modeling complex internal drivetrains. Rather than laboriously modeling every gear and component, we employ a "black box" approach for the transmission and differentials, representing them by their system-level properties: overall gear ratios, lumped inertia values, and estimated efficiencies. This methodology enables efficient creation of a visually comprehensive CAD model and robust multi-body dynamics simulations in SolidWorks Motion Study, allowing for accurate analysis of dynamic power output to the wheels and overall vehicle performance without sacrificing feasibility or demanding unfeasible modeling time.
