       2.1.2 Maximum Vehicle Dimensions
         Width : 162.56 cm (64 in) at its widest point: Mandatory
         Length : 274.32 cm (108 in) end to end: Recommended

2.2 Required Engine

       2.2.1 Briggs and Stratton Engine: 10 hp OHV Intake.

2.3 Engine Requirement and Restrictions
 
       A fresh air cleaner element & paper filter are required during On-site Technical Inspection-Engine at       BAJA SAEINDIA 2013.
    Starter
The Recoil Starter Rope may be extended to accommodate the driver starting the engine while being seated.
Electric start is not acceptable in any case even if it is from B&S standard parts.

2.3.16 Energy Storage Devices Used for Propulsion
Hydraulic accumulators are the only type of stored energy device that may be incorporated into the vehicle for propulsion purposes. If employed, hydraulic accumulators must be at zero energy at the start of each event.
Hydraulic power systems must be properly shielded and documentation of the shielding made available for review.

2.12.2 Transponder Mounting

One transponder will be provided to each team during the endurance event at no cost for the event
purpose. This is essential to use for endurance event for counting the laps during endurance run. The team captain is responsible for returning it, at the end of endurance run. It is the team captain’s responsibility to design a secure and safe mounting for the transponder at given location and acceptable method.
Mounting bracket of sheet metal box of size 55 x 45 x 20mm to be attached/ weld from outside of SIM on Right side of vehicle.



Each transponder as shown (Figure 5) is supplied on the last day of endurance event. However Teams are advised to make a provision of box weld / attached of sheet metal /fiber /plastic of size 55 x 45 x 20 mm on Side Impact Member of frame.
Attaching the bracket with M4/M6 size with Pan / Flat head bolts with lock nuts or fix by strong wire is suggested.The transponder mounting requirements are:
The provision for fitment of transponder is essential to fix it in right position so that it does not come out due to bumps or shaking of vehicle. It’s essential to ensure the signal transmitted by transponder is read by timing
system, so that the purpose of counting laps is not be defeated.
(1) Orientation - The bracket must be mounted vertical to the frame.
The transponder must be mounted on the driver’s right side forward of the seat
(2) Location –no more than 61 cm (24 in.) above the track.
(3) Unobstructed –No obstruction between the antenna on the bottom of the transponder and the ground.
Metal and carbon fiber may interrupt the transponder signal. The signal will normally transmit through
fiberglass and plastic hence it is advice to use it. However if sheet metal box is used it should have cut out
10.2mm (0.4 in.) diameter opening from sensor side.
(4) Protection – Mount the transponder where it will be protected from obstacles.
