TRANSAXLE LOAD RATINGS


Mendeola’s gearbox rating system, although wrong, has been based on a horsepower figure. Due to the fact that the majority of our end users relate better to that “standard” than torque. Torque however is the true mechanical method for measuring rotational force. But unlike pure road racing formats with tighter based platforms off-road vehicles cannot use torque as a definitive formula for overall vehicle ratings.
Due to the number of variables associated with off-roading, to include: vehicle weight, tire size, engine torque, and the most important factor of all, driver skill level! The dynamic forces and loads impaired during off-road activities far exceed absolutely another form of motorsport. After 35 years in this business I know this to be so.
The baseline ratings presented here reflect current vehicle functionality and usage. They are also calculated with a driver of above average skill level. Also, in the past 5 to 6 years vehicle performance figures have increased by light years. Building a car with more transaxle than you think you need is a paramount consideration.
