Super fast off road RC car

[bartneck]

I build a second version of my race car, surprisingly called RACE2. Here is a small

with lots of slow motion action shots. See it break going down the stairs. :-) Building instructions and more photos are available here. What do you think?

Very impressive setup, it can get over large things like logs/branches.

Since it has 4 motors you can power off one of the front ones and one of the back ones , then it can help steering, kind of like how in wheel motors work.

Maybe if you take the yellow beams off an mount the receiver down it can drive upside down since the wheels are bigger than the car body, this is good for if it flips over when climbing/scrambling.

Just wait until I catch a cold, then I sound like Barry White. :-)

One suggestion i would made would be to have two power boxes and two ir receivers for more power.

Good work. What are the 9L springs for?

Hey that's brilliant. Looks like great fun. Did you use L motors? Looks like my bank balance is going to get another hit!

Good work. What are the 9L springs for?

pretty sure it's to absorb hits to the front of the car, I like it

Wow, that is awesome, I'm loving the simple design.

How do the gears inside the motor hold up? I'm guessing they would take a beating.

Simple is better, most of the time anyway. Nice work!
