ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a transmission, and more particularly to a transmission for a dune buggy. The transmission has a forward drive train and a reverse drive train.
2. Description of Related Art
Generally, conventional dune buggy transmissions types in accordance with the prior art are either four-wheel-drive or two-wheel-drive capable of driving forward or reverse. Each of wheels needs a differential to operate. Most of makers mount a differential on the front wheel axle and rear wheel axle to drive the four wheels each having a different speed rate. The differential is complicated and has a complex assembly process. Consequently, the differential is very expensive. It is vexing to have to pay a lot of money to make or buy a dune buggy.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the disadvantages of the conventional dune buggy transmission.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a dune buggy transmission includes an engine, a gearbox, a rear transmission set and a differential. A belt connects the engine and the gearbox. A chain connects the gearbox and the rear transmission set. The differential is attached to the rear transmission. The gearbox has several axles and multiple gears. With the alternate engagement of these axles and gears, the transmission can provide a forward drive train or a reverse drive train for a dune buggy.
Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
