THE WHOLE IDEA OF CREATING A K'NEX CAR IS TO MAKE IT OUT OF K'NEX! AND YOUR SINGLE SEATED BUGGY, WELL IM MAKING THAT WITHOUT HOT GLUE TO SHOW U HOW MUCH BETTER IT LOOKS, HOW MUCH CHEAPER IT IS, AND TO SHOW THAT YOU'R "YOU CANT BUILD ANY OF MY CARS WITHOUT HOT GLUE OR CUTTING PIECES..IF YOU COULD THEN I WOULD HAVE BUT U CLEARLY CANT. AND FOR ALL THE PEOPLE SAY "USE CONNECTERS" COPY ONE OF MY CARS AND POST AND LETS SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE SINCE YOUR SO CONFIDENT YOU CAN.and i know your suppose to use connecters but i took it too a whole new level. " IS EASY TO BEAT!!!!!

honestly looks nothing like a trophy truck, and im pretty sure my front suspension and back would last longer if ever used in the dirt as a play toy

This supposed to be your chopped up glued single seated buggy, but made without chopping and gluing any pieces. It will not look exactly the same without damaging any pieces but I still works with suspension but I have thought of new way to make it with different sort that will fit coil springs and elastic bands, so I will get back to you with that. But you have to admit that this easier to build, cheaper to build and more personalisable as you can connect and disconnect pieces ( such as; bull bars, head lamps, and suspension units. All my comments I've made was to try and get you to understand that you still make the same things without destroying you'r pieces.

my car is chopped up and glued because i made it like a real offroad desert race car that i own, u chop up and weld tubing to build it so why not be more realistic and chop and glue pieces.

the way i set up my suspension you have to glue it so it will work better and wont break, iv built many cars with your set up such as A arms all around, the only difference is my arms are alot skinnier.

But this isn't good if you ever want to construct something that is large as you probably cut up most you'r pieces. Look I'm not trying to nasty or mean but i want you to realise that you shouldn't glue k'nex because it takes away the meaning and the purpose of k'nex , quite a few people would agree with me on this one.

ya i know but when i built them, it was intended to never be taken apart, i acctually just got about 5,000 more pieces so i have room for error if need be

Dec 20, 2011. 2:14 PMknex365 says:

If anybody else think this shouldn't class as a k'nex car reply this comment using the phrase " not a k'nex car " .

This is more card, tape, and glue than K'nex. You shouldn't class it as a K'nex car

cardboard is the side pannels and under the is the skid pan as you see on all offroad race cars/trucks

trust me you cant build a truck like this without cutting and gluing peices together iv tried many many times.

i agree with everyone on this , you dont need to cut up knex pieces. but, i want to see what else you have made. i m working on making a big pre runner.
