Knex Supercar Instructions

$F:\My Documents\My Pictures\m9\Knex Supercar.JPG$

This instruction set shows how to build a Knex Supercar model. I improvised this model myself with all the pieces that I had. I used the free 3D CAD software Google SketchUp to create the 3D renderings.

You can download SketchUp for free at http://sketchup.google.com/download/

***SPECIAL EDITION***
Download the file for the entire model here
Included are not only photos and the SketchUp file for this model, but also for my 3 other Knex supercar models, as well as some random other experiments.
If the host doesn't work, try downloading from here

NOTE: You will need WinRAR to open the file. Download WinRAR here.

Step 1Steering Module

The following set of instructions show the revolutionary steering system I developed. I discovered the basic principle design back when I was 13 lol. The construction is simpler than it looks. Just follow them through carefully. Good luck and enjoy :).

Very wise steering module, much more solid than the one i had made ! I will make my own car though, considering I wouldn't have enough K'nex to complete this supercar.. lol ! (I want to make a convertible, with a retractable top)
