Michaelo90 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Interesting exploit of the new weightless monoprop engines, I guess I need to make a new dragster to defend my record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War_Lord_Kevin Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I'm back! I added a Kerbal to my design, as well as some sideways flaps for stability. I only got up to 461 m/s with the added weight, but it is still good enough for 1st place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhomphaia Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) I'm back! I added a Kerbal to my design, as well as some sideways flaps for stability. I only got up to 461 m/s with the added weight, but it is still good enough for 1st place! For a little bit... But my KHRA entry seems to qualify for Thrust KSC as well.485m/s. I could probably improve that design within the rules of this challenge. Edited July 30, 2014 by Rhomphaia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War_Lord_Kevin Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 That is a great vehicle, Rhomphaia, but can you beat 518 meters per second? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaelo90 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) I did a few unpiloted test runs yesterday, I got 560 m/s with 50% thrust and 20% fuel, anything more and I either couldn't stop or the whole thing just disintegrated Those engines are a bit OP Edit: I made a stable design that can reach 1500 m/s! Only problem is how to stop it... Edited July 30, 2014 by Michaelo90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaelo90 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 The Monoprop Maniac v3 can do 1137 m/s without FAR! I look forward to someone trying to beat that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavemanNinja Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Sorry michaelo and Kevin, but the rules state that liquidfuel must be your primary method of thrust.(not to crash the party or anything, but this will quickly become a part-count race if we all use massless engines...)

ihtoit Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 As I'm seeing pretenders to the challenge parameters on G+, I'm denecroing this one (the original and best) and refer the reader to the Reboot Challenge for new leaderboards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claw Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 So as to avoid confusion, since ihtoit is posting a new and updated challenge, I will go ahead and lock this one.Cheers,~Claw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
