Hey here's my Car-100 after a few mods:
Looks normal from here:
Back wheels like different...
Nice..
Pic with spoiler removed showing wire mesh (installed for more of a race look) and extra detail in engine bay. Also it can be seen I need to fare the guards to cover those massive rears.
The bonnet emblem was originally the
symbol; I've replaced it with the Ericsson symbol from my old T28s. More distinguished looking
Side view:
Shell mod in the making:

It sure does
Fully operational. Slightly slower acceleration but higher top end (rears having a larger diameter than stock)
Here's some pics for @simpons, his car has steering probs
The front chasis disassembled:
A bit charg axel (same dimensions as the car100 original rear axel) next to the car100 axel with Hotwheels rims fitted over the top of the original wheels:
Don't remove the little copper coils, they are glued in. Also be very careful of the little copper wires, if one is broken you'll lose one or both steering directions
@k4m!k4ze
Nice idea! The smallest internal combustion engine I've ever seen is about half the size of the car itself (that was a model aeroplane engine). I've also seen scale model V8 engines about 10cm long - but still way to big for Car100.

You're a legend Max!
That rear axle mod looks very cool. If you mount a larger gear wheel on the motor and a smaller one on the rear axle you will increase the acceleration but at the expense of top speed. Are slightly larger front wheels available or will they affect the turning circle?
Love that original body shell.
Excellent workmanship too!

thanks for the kudos dude. I actually have a range of different gear sizes from my box bit-charg gear, so I'll be experimenting in due course to get the right combo!
Larger wheels would affect the stearing, but I meet be able to squeeze a bitcharg rear wheels onto the front axles without too much ill affect...
And it is a dragster afterall, who needs more than 15 degrees lock

I usually charge for about 10 minutes, and run for about 5 minutes atleast. You certainly don't need to charge for the 60 minutes they say you do.
