any help would um.. help haha

 

Grease down the axels good and make an areodynamic design

 

well of course but im thinking something really technical like laying it so low the its noit even as tall as the c02 i dunno what will work. anymore ideas

 

anyone

 

put the axels high on the body so you have low ground clearance. trim as much of the wood off as you can, as long as you can keep the front end down.

 

back in my senior year i built the fastest Co2 car in the school and it was the fastest all year. if you want my design PM me and i will give it to you. the teacher would pull me out of class to come race other students who would try to beat me. it was great.

 

Spend a few bucks and buy a pre-made one off eBay and smoke everyone! Sometimes I feel like an ebay addict [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]


My Tech class was great cause our teacher wasn't concerned about and rules he let us build whatever we wanted. So my buddy and cut down a block of wood to about the size of a pencil (by hand) then put on the wheels and used titanium axles (made from R/C car shock shafts) then dipped the car in fiberglass resin (his dad owned a body shop) and painted the car purple then clear coated it. It was VERY LIGHT and strong as could be. Needless to say it dominated until the year after when a geeky little freshman cut one on some computerized lathe man that thing was wicked I don't know it stayed in once piece though.

 

jon he marks where the axles go you dont have a choice


its harder then it looks

 

Cory i doint have a choise i what? Plus he said that having thw axels higher is better

 

i did a co2 car project for powerenergytech a few months ago, and had the fastest car built by anyone in the school in the last 2 years, 0-200 feet in like 3.4 seconds or sumthing like that, and 0-60 feet in 1.09 seconds, it was the only car to make the 200 feet. my strategy was to make it as light as possible, so i just kept shaving weight off it until it was at the minimum weight and i blew everyone away
