Aerodynamically trocious, but I suppose it's not too bad for downforce. Handle at all?

Wow, when I saw your first post I gave it about a week before it went up in smoke. Let us know how long your car lasts

It's hard to see how fast it actually is, but it looks like it's having trouble taking off with 7 AAAs.

damm...I dunno...all those batt. look like wont make a diff due to all the weight. I tried making mines a 6th cell but then it would just spin tired..so...I dunno..my tired are pretty wasted but still..that's a lot of weight...so..I might do some checking on my power-to-weight ratios

it does make a huge difference.. the only real drawback is acceleration, because your right, it is a lot of weight, but when it gets up to speed it just keeps accelerating....
