hey guys, this is sumthing that has been in the works for a long time. ive been building rockets cars out of k'nex for a while now but have never video taped it. this is a short teaser just showing off the design of the car and the D-12 engins powering it. it goes really fast, i was using c-7 engins before and i esitmate it was going about 70km. anyways the video should be out in the new year sumtime soon. enjoy!

Looks like an interesting experiment. If it explodes, its cool, if it zooms across, its cool. It's pretty mcuh win/win. (:

ya, it is! the video is going to be delayed a littel longer, me and my buddies did fire off the rocket car, but we only had three shots. we plan to buy sum more rockets and go again. it went really fast, but crashed 2 out of the three times it launched. It was awsome!

u mean it ACTUALLY stayed on the ground? With the connex you used I would have thought it would have taken off. I Stuck an E9-8 in a rocket designed for A's. It was spectacular.

its a double stager. so when it looks like it stops... it flies again. air force one was within firing range of this puppy when the president came to our city...
