Go faster than 205.5m/s.

That\'s right, we\'re setting kerbal ground speed records here.

Rules are simple, go as fast as you can, on ground, using only vanilla parts and the C7-Flight Pack, in v0.12.

Post a screenshot as proof of your escapade and I\'ll make a records list.

Ground speed records list:

[list type=decimal]

[li]325.7m/s - Tosh[/li]

[li]265.1m/s - Tosh[/li]

[li]245.7m/s - xzbobzx[/li]

[li]205.9m/s - Asmosdeus[/li]

[li]205.5m/s - xzbobzx[/li]

[li]-53.9m/s - jeb[/li]

[Tosh]

Just make it light -- and it will go fast. 265.1. Jeb\'s happy

[Feragorn]

What\'s on the end of those fins?

[Kryten]

That\'s part of the model for the wheels.

[Feragorn]

/facepalm

I don\'t know why I didn\'t catch that. Something told me the wheels were on the main fuselage.

[Asmosdeus]

Not as fast as tosh but I still just beat the challenge.

[Tosh]

Second attempt. \'Moar boosters\', said Jeb; Bob complained, but nobody cared.

325.7

\'(censored)\', said Jeb.

[xzbobzx]

More boosters always do the trick, updated the records list.

[Tosh]

More boosters always do the trick

Yep, they do. If they don\'t make the craft toooo heavy))

[Zool]

This is possible now!? I tried it a few releases back, but the ship always blew up when it reached a certain speed. (I think it was 100m/s)

[SmiteZero]

Yeah! Rocketsled challenge!

The ship will certainly blow up as soon as you\'ll leave KSC territory. See here: http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=4383.0

[SmiteZero]

Now if I could only get something that doesn\'t blow up when I try to tip it horizontal... :-\

Try to spawn a rover on the grass to get rid of that \'sticky pad\' bug:

Then yaw left (\'A\' key) and very slightly increase throttle, being ready to drop it immediately when the rover begins to tilt.

[SmiteZero]

Now why didn\'t I think of that? :-[

Also, I think mine are too large.

Also also I see you built yours sideways.

[Tosh]

Also also I see you built yours sideways.

Yep. They don\'t need to steer, they just run straight ahead; so it does not matter.

[xzbobzx]

Went 245.7 today, a personal record.

We should totally have a multiplayer dragstrip gamemode.

The next step:

use a Munar hill and one of these things to ramp off of the Mun and back to Kerbal.

I feel accepted now
