A wheel assembly is an integral part of a vehicle’s design that connects the wheel to the suspension system and transfers pressure from the road to the suspension system. It also holds the brake system and facilitates steering. Power transmission is also addressed in the powertrain department. We describe the process and simulation that result in the hub, upright, and differential mounting of a formula student car and the size of the sprocket for maximum acceleration in this report. As a result of the work done on this project, the resulting car has improved acceleration, is easy and reliable to assemble, and has fewer breakdowns than the previous model. The report includes all the calculations that support the simulations and a validating statement about the bearing selection.
