What's Next?

Now that you have built the car and have learnt about the basic engineering concepts behind its design, we are sure you can make the car even better!

Read on bellow for inspirations to take your car even further↓

Give it some grip

Just like car tires, a little grip can make your dragster run better.

Why not try it out with some elastic band? Wrap them around the wheels to see the difference.

Make it run smooth

Lubricant reduces friction!

Try lubricating the gears and contact points with wax. Get yourself a candle and rub it on the parts to make everything slide better.

Load it with spring

Replace the elastic band with extension springs!

Extension springs stores potential energy in its extended state. Attach the spring to the car with strings, see if that makes a difference

Motorize it

If you can procure yourself a tiny motor, you can very well motorize your car!

The car is yours, and its potential is limitless, keep trying with different ideas to make it better!

Over to you!

Here is the drawings of your car. Download it, open with Autodesk Fusion 360 and see how you can change it and make the it your own design. Have fun!
