Pretty cool actually. Cost $8 for the car plus $7 for the paint which isn’t too bad. My attempt at making Martini livery didn’t come out very well, but it was still fun to build and paint. Highly recommended.

It’s recognizable as the Martini Livery.

10/10 would buy over LFA.

And you know the LFA is pretty high up on my list of things to own one day.

Pinewood derby? My mom’s husband, an electrical engineer, designed and built the car I was supposed to make myself. He designed it with removable screws that could be used to get the weight just right. He thought it was the greatest design ever, and a clear vindication of his design brilliance. And my mom painted it. I did nothing.

I lost every race I was in, and became the proud winner of the Square Wheel Award.

The moral, of course, is never let an EE design a car.

Really!? I did not know that. However, I must say its a much better value.

Haha that’s great. I can already tell you this one wouldn’t win any races either because a) I didn’t add the weight yet b) the axles went on wrong so now only 3 wheels touch the ground and c) it was made by me.

The stripes gotta count for something though.

You should look up some YouTube videos of this stuff. People have some crazy strategies just using some basic physics.

We will be doing Cub Cars (what we call them up here) with our cub pack in January. I’ve been debating on making an LMP car or a Scamander.
