      I think you would be able to make a pod racer out of a digi-q, some lexan, plastic and mold, foam, 3.8 motors, wire, and wires with small plugs and female connectors to fit in. Like this!

      []-[] <-- Electric ducted fan units
      / <-- The wires with plugs
      [-] <-- Pod with digi-q PCB inside
      The difference in motor speed would steer pod like the car. Wires with plug would have female connector in the motor. The wires would simply plug into the EDF’s. Small pieces of lexan would make small wings on pod and engines.:D 😎 😮 :p

      or an aerogel anti grav engine.

      check out nasa’s website for aerogel infomation.

      basicly it’s a transparent solid with the ability to be a supercapacitor. oh and it’s about as heavy as oxygen.

      Hmm… I think you might be able to build one outta 2 bits…

      Have the two bits (both using the same freak) in the engines. Make the engines like a custom body, and have two stiff wires (from coat hangers maybe?) join back to the main pod which because of the two stiff wires, will stay elevated off the floor.

      If it tips over backwards because of the weird center of gravity, add some ballast in the front of the engines. heh… it would turn weirdly… would probably be better if you use two booster bits on different frequencies… and boost/unboost the bits in pairs to turn… Hmm… Kinda like a tank (sorry , I just had to put that in :smiley2:)

      Oh well.. thats enough outta Crom for a while…

      The impossible just takes a little longer
