Aztec Baja's Throttle Pedal

-The throttle pedal was modeled to mimic the characteristics of a T-beam. Starting at the throttle stop and running down the length of the pedal, a radial extrusion cut eliminated extra material on the web of the T-beam as it got further away from the bending moment. The pedal rests at a slight forward angle for driver comfort similar to a standard consumer car. The several throttle cable attachment points allows the driver to customize the pedal throw and the threaded adjustable throttle stop ensures the cable won’t take on unwanted tension after being fully engaged. An engine-turning finish was put on the face of the pedal with a concave half-inch end mill for grip and ornament. With minimal 3-D contouring, the pedal was designed for the ease of manufacturability and machine setup in order to optimize production time and cost.
