This is Extreme Pinewood Derby - an Outlaw Race at its finest. Nothing like LiPo Batteries and a Ducted Fan spinning at 60,000 RPM to scare the competition away. This car was a real "wolf in sheep's clothing". Not even the starter new what was coming when the gate dropped.

  • lets see how well you do in a regulated race without the cheater car hahaha

  • @toonypop - Oh yeah, won that too! Been there done, that.

  • thats amazing! whats the small little blue "Box" (drive control) any website where i get more information? wanna build one too :D

  • The little blue "Box" is a speed controller. Many have asked for further details - I'm working on posting more info at Funtelligent. Give me a couple of weeks and I should have it up.

  • you cheated you can only have a car 5oz and no motors at all

  • Hmmm, didn't I mention that this was the "Outlaw" class. Well, yes, I'm sure I did!

  • the beggining is exactly what i just barly told my dad! exactly!

  • Very fun, but you stole my idea! I had the same setup, but I bet mine would spank yours! Mine is 1/4th the weight of yours with a custom balsa wood frame and no ugly shroud. What was your time? Mine was 1.7075s on a 40' track (I think??), which is 289 mph, whatever that means???

    Are you in Utah, by chance?

    Obviously, I don't think you stole my idea, the hobby shop guy showed me the same ducted fan motor. I do like the outlaw title better, we just called it open class.

  • i really doubt that little fan can spin 60k rpm... thats blowing the motor on your daddys truck...

    

  • @jershino Outlaw division. Its a common thing for people to not read everything they are giving.

  • i got pinwood

  • i have an R/C car that goes around 80, and could beat that, really that car is no different than an r/c car...

  • i lost to him

    

  • the best way to troll the other cars XD

  • when i was in cub scouts i made a pinewood derby car and it had racing strips and i put 4 letter words called "ford" on the back and it won everytime i forgot where i put it now though :)

  • whoa, hahaha i have to hand to you for this frickin' genius!
