Significantly Kerbal Racecar

[kahlzun]

Hi all!

Just want to show off a recent creation: The 'Ultimate Racer'!

Made using Nyrath's Orion Pulsed Nuclear Rocket mod, this beast uses atomic power to hurl itself along at ungodly speeds!

Note that this model uses the weakest nuclear bombs available. Will release stronger ones if needed

Can you show us what it looks like in action? Also, what is the top speed of it?

[kahlzun]

ok, will record something, hold pls.

[kahlzun]

Top speeds tested:

0.88MN: ~130ms

2.00MN: ~200ms

Top speeds tested:

0.88MN: ~130ms

2.00MN: ~200ms

Well, that's some disturbingly inefficient results.

Care to tell us more?

Unfortunatly, testing with any 'heavier' rounds means that the thing starts to fly, and cannot realistically be considered a 'car' at that point. Also, for some reason my design decided it didn't want to live anymore, and now whenever I load it the controlling probe body falls off, even if it's strutted on. Very weird.
