Rob, I have no idea how well it will do against the Dragon, but it sure is one wild looking little beast!
You should get special points for detail alone.
nice build!

Thanks, guys. I ran the both of them against a tuned but stock Slot.it Ford GT40. They didn't run off and leave the Slot.it behind, but they did beat him to the line, some 16 feet away.

I forgot. In the last picture, you can see a silver Phillips head screw that is screwed in between the motor endbell and the motor carriage. I have thought for years that if I ever needed to have a shim to close a gear gap on a sidewinder or anglewinder, I would try this. Well, it works so well you wouldn't believe it. I simply sanded the motor carriage mount on the side near the spur, then reinstalled the motor. The little screw is then turned in while testing the gear mesh. In seconds, a gear mesh so sloppy it might have chewed the gears was perfectly meshed, and the little silver screw is solidly in place. The car is nearly silent.
