30 mins after crash, all fixed!
Body taking a beating!

The dual "E' engines have almost 2.5 times the thrust, maybe more, as the single "F" (which was butter smooth)...giving the dual "E" engines one more shot tommorrow, have ran those twice and it will not go straight....its hard to tell from video but it is accellerating so fast, its kinda of like driving a bottle rocket on the ground...then trying dual "F" engines next week....they are much heavier and not as much initial thrust as these "E"'s....if that doesn't work, will try three "D" engines....if that doesn't work, back to single "F" and a single "D" on top of it...it will allow the "F" to accelerate a little harder, then it shuts off quick and the "F" will blast to big mph...with a much more aerodynamic body too...after its dialed

Failed!
Side by side rockets won't work...3 attempts, won't go straight....going back to single barrel but a two stage setup....hoping for 150mph in 5 seconds

That went well...

The laughing says it all.... some good air time though

How fast was it going in the first video when it veered off into the grass, it looks like it was moving along pretty good

It was going 63mph both times is crashed in 1st two videos....last video it was only going 36mph

I don't know how fast the car was going but TheDiamondOne was running away at about 30 mph in the other direction like a little bitch.

We should nickname that car "Vic" because it's way out of line.

At that distance you look the same. Like a little bitch.

All this needs now is a mustang body and a crowd of people.

"Rocket cars and coffee"?

I laughed so hard with the laughter in the vid I was crying
What a blast you guys have to be having do this.
I have a vague memory of being somewhere around 10 years old or so that I too built an Estes powered rocket car !
Only difference is I built it from Construx. Needless to say it’s maiden voyage was its final Thank you for doing this build and keeping us up to date and most importantly entertained

The smiles per mile ratio is incredible with this thing!!!
