Knex EDF powered RC car!

Hey guys, I'm back and I bring you my RC knex jet car! took about 2 hours to build and it goes about 50mph+ (Fastest knex car?) I used equipment from my old RC jet which could go about 90mph+
I hooked up a servo for I could have some steering aswell :)

I will do a video of this beast when I have ironed out the kinks!

Also when it crashes it pretty much explodes! XD

i build a knex rc but i connected a standard knex motor to the wheels,it goes boringly slow, i quit. maybe this kind of fans will do the work. isn't it noisy? how fast do the batteries run out?

It sounds like a jet when it gets going so yes it is very noisy and the battery lasts 10 minutes.

looks good. it stinks that it has to use parts like that though. try hooking the fan up to a rubberband or a geared up motor :-)

the motor is a brushless motor which is extremely powerful! how should I attached the motor?

dsman195276 in reply to smidge147Jul 23, 2009. 4:56 AM

well, if you make the fan part out of knex, and attach paper to make the fins. then you attach the motor to the drive rod of the fan. anyway, i don't know if thats going to work or not.
