Back to square one


Well. Let me just say I'm not building the car out of Lego anymore. Because Jeff does physics he says the rockets may actually take the car to around 140km/h which is extremely fast for a car that small. The scale speed would be faster than the speed of sound, by a lot.


Because of the extreme acceleration of the car and the amount of wind pushing on the body the car will just rip to pieces like Micheal Jacksons face. So now I will go back to borrowing a chassis from an RC car and attaching rockets to it. If it do this the car must not weigh more than 600 grams which is mighty light. But never mind.


On Sunday I'm going to buy the rockets for it and we'll see what happens from there. I cant buy stuff on Saturday because of my stupid day job at Red Rooster :( .
And yes the photo above is not real
