      Highlight of last week?s event in Dortmund, Germany, was the “Dragster Contest”. As special show act I introduced my “High Energy” Cyclona Subaru with Micro Maxx Motor. It started twice. Topspeed could only be estimated. Something about 120mph. Find the entire documentation incl. video of the second start under “Dortmunder Bitrenntag” at http://www.bitmod.tk .

      Pity I can’t get babelfish working here anymore. There’s some good stuff on that site. A few nice track ideas, some crazy mods, etc.

      Micro Maxx are the smallest rockets you can buy. As a Micro RC is very light, you can?t use bigger rocket motors. Result of two starts was no damage, no fire, no negative effect on mechanics or electronics in the car. It will start again on our next event. I?m just working on some improvement of the steering…I have to enhance the spring and reduce the steering angle.

      Richie, couple more questions. Do you alter the bit, ie take the motor, gears out to decrease the internal drag? How do you ignite the rocket? via the controller?? And how do you stop it:)

      O.k. – it was a first attempt. I got some advice from german`s leading forum for model rockets. They considered it to be feasable.

      And it is not at all dangerous. Neither does it explode not burn or melt. We had two starts and the bit ist still alive and operational.
      It got two steering springs and I adjusted the rocket motor in a way I could use thrust to keep it on the ground. Original motor and gear have been taken out.

      For the next start it will be improved to get more stability into the car. Enhanced steering spring, adjustment of rocket motor, perhaps longer wheelbase…

      See grasziege`s video of the whole event to find out how it was ignited and how it stopped:
