1 Light it
2 Lob it
3 Leg it
Just watched it on the book of many faces , made me grin

That's awesome it survived the maiden voyage. Putting a solid object behind the car will increase the thrust as it gives the car something to push off of.
How stable was it?
Thanks!...it was stupidly ridiculously stable....I didn't even turn the wheel...I was extremely impressed...can't wait to put more power in it!
I was just thinking, a little top side rocket propulsion is just what the Frankenbuggy needs

We'll see if this works. It uploaded as a "Short" rather than a video and wouldn't seem to let me add a description.

So.... don't stand directly behind it when controlling it?
1. That's where the exhaust is
2. Good luck seeing it through the exhaust cloud

That seems like a good location to stand. But the poor camera operator back there.

He (The Diamond One) said it was rough!...thought is eyebrows got burned!...but they didn't....next test is a single F15 engine, tommorrow morning...
twice as big as the "D"...and burns for 3.5 seconds...he is gonna stand where I drive next time...should hit roughly 75 to 80 mph according to the math....math says 92mph but that's not calculating and wind/tire drag

Youtube did the "Short" thing again, so no description. I haven't had much time to mess with it and see how to title these. Coxbros1 may need to provide details here later. Aren't you supposed to countdown from 10??

Easy 72mph blast with one F sized rocket. Blew front tire. Going new route on front wheels and tires. Dual E then dual F engines coming. 100 plus here we come!
