Once the handbrake is engaged the master cylinder generates pressure to lock the rear wheels without impeding the rest of the braking system. The Agency Power handbrake simply ties into the factory hydraulic brake lines for the rear wheels. By installing the Agency Power hydraulic handbrake, owners can enter a drift with immense ease.ĭrifting around a tight corner allows the machine to rotate at the apex while maintaining inertia to carry through the turn. Initiating a drift can be tough without a handbrake due to the rear wheels not being able to lock up immediately.
#Hydraulic handbrake install#
A common issue owners run into is not being able to initiate a drift by locking the rear wheels.Īgency Power released a hydraulic handbrake to install on your Maverick X3 to assist with kicking the rear end out. Thanks to the rear engine setup of the X3, it's excellent for drifting in the dirt, snow, or sand. With such versatility and utility the X3 has incredible potential for racing, adventure, or simply cruising. But they are only 50KG.The Can-Am Maverick X3 has quickly become one of the most popular UTV's on the market since its inception in 2017. I'm also thinking about letting this cylinder pushing against a loadcell, because i have any of them laying around. Maybe someone has a good pushing structure idea? Even a master break cylinder would be better. The should handle the force without problems. They are out of metal and will be more robust. But make shure you use one from an older car like this in the picture. There are many avalible for cheap prices. So i talked to some people at work using a pushing type slave cylinder. More established in tuning and racing scene.įor me in Germany i didn't find any pulling cylinders. This one looks perfect for adding some skateboard DOH DOH's to create some force to push against.īut these are no common cylinders used in car industrie. I did a lot of research on the pulling slave cylinder. After cleaning i try out some holders with cardboard at the moment. Today the Clutch Cylinder from carisma arrived. If you don't want to build it your self, there are many handbrakes aalible for a good price on ebay.

The cylinder must be arrive in the next days so i can build a holder and lever for this. Set by step instruction can be found here It's really easy to setup and i've done some testings with buttons and potentiometers and it works very good. Also it has ability for buttons which I'll use too. I'll use an Arduino as Joystick Interface. Since i hate stripping appart old gamepads and I'm to lazy to build my own circuit : ) But next week i'll talk to some people mybe they can help me.

I didn't find any solution about this at the moment. The guy on the link above used a second cylinder with some dampers. The sensor will output a 0-5V signal, perfect for the Usb Interface. It whas hard for me to find a pressure sensor for moderate price in Germany. It looks great, since the resevoir is included. First i bought a cheap cluch cylinder at ebay from a Mitsubishi Carsima DA II.
