Solar Dragster
More info below:
Made from spare car parts, a finger nail file and white glue, this is my Solar powered Dragster.
The idea, was to make as light a vehicle as possible, with some size about it and to look like a Top Fuel style 1/4mile Dragster.
The motor and gearbox are from a ‘Smallest Car in the World’, also the solar panel and the front wheels. The blue spoiler and cockpit canopy are from a Micro Terrain Titan shell, cut down with a Dremmel and then sanded. The main frame is a fingernail file.
The rear axle was made by snipping the ends from a sewing needle and using wire outer insulation for clearance amounts.
The faux suspension on the blue shell was removed while cutting and forms the front bumper.
Depending on how it goes in the sun, it may be fitted with a Turbo Boost nitrous oxide canister…or, in other words, a capacitor across the motor.
Happy with the 10g final weight :)`
