Becuase Size Matters!


Good News. I wont be using an RC car anymore because after lots of conversation with my friend Jeffrey he has come to conclusion that an RC car will probably be way to heavy and big. He suggested something smaller, something that you can build around the rockets and not onto them. So I have conluded that the car will now be made from Lego. The car will be powered by Estes Rockets probably 3 of them to be exact but maybe more. Thats all ive got for now and yes the car pictured above is a life sized Lego Volvo

After alot of thinking I finally have it!


Yes i have thought long and hard about what i should do for my blog and i finally have it. Inspired from Sams's idea of a Rocket i will attempt the worlds fastest RC car. The car probably wont be powered by the actual electric engine but i will most likely build 2 rockets housed in a PVC pipe and strap them to the side of the car. I will probably get a cheap camera and put it on the front of the car to capture the moment. Hopefully if the car doesnt explode and send my body parts in a 100km radius i will have completed this project by the tenth blog post.
