well about the rocket car, you could put 3 engines on top of eachother and then use 3 stages. Stage 1 would be connected to stage 2 with a piece of fuse string, and the same would work with stage 3. Or you could get a big ballon of hairspray or butane and have another fuse connected to that.

masking tape is lighter but ducktape is better. dont say mongo has spoken it sounds stupid
Jun 10, 2009. 4:26 PMMongo Of Fire says:
I will say "Mongo has spoken" Whenever I please, thank you very much. Besides that, did you really have to reply to mine as opposed to your own to make it so that you didn't make yourself look like a complete jerk? I mean, you don't really have to point that sort of thing out unless it isn't on the internet. On the internet, I can be as much of a nerd as I want and you can't really do anything about it. I can even post something like this up if I want to. I guess I want to, because I beleive that I just posted this. Wouldn't you agree? (And to think that all of this started by you saying that all of the cool people use masking tape...)

why don't you put 3 rockets to one car and it would go really fast and look cool
May 17, 2009. 12:16 PMMongo Of Fire says:
you would have more trouble lighting them all simultaniously. sometimes, it doesn't matter how it looks. Mongo has spoken!

They wouldn't ignite at the same time, and could puch the vehicle crooked.

not if you placed them vertically on top of each other at the center of the car.
Dec 26, 2008. 1:25 PMEpeoples says:

that would work
Jun 10, 2009. 4:28 PMMongo Of Fire says:
actually, no it wouldn't. I tried that on an egg rocket. they all blew off at random, causing the egg to explode. I doubt that you want smoldering peices of hotwheels flying into your face.
Jun 10, 2009. 10:49 PMgoeon says:
