ever thing about running it on regulated c02 for a longer run time and more room on the chassis?

It looks like you gave up on the valve you were going to use for the throttle and changed over to a hose kinking valve, robbing me of the chance to suggest the hose kink valve as a better alternative. Dang!

It looks great, well done! I can't wait to see how it moves. Thanks for sharing.

impressive, That looks like the trottle is clamping off the air hose, good idea.

IT'S ALIVE! so excited to see the result. Congrats Tom... What a legend. Will be interesting to see if the engine runs without a flywheel. Btw thanks for posting the preview. Nice touch

You could print some tires on flex and some cool rims to go with for them...

Oh man this is going to be epic! I like the use of the second servo as a pressure valve controller for throttle control! But I do have to question the lack of rubber overlay on the front wheels - you need just as much grip to turn as you do to go forward.

This look bloody awesome. If you're looking for ideas, I would love to see a dual-motor version with differential steering.

Oh wow, I didn't think you were gonna use 3D-printed wheels. To me it was obvious that you were going to use standard RC car wheels.
This has a nice old-timey car look though, it's nice. Can't wait to see it in action.
