F1 Racecar - 2x Buggy motors Speed Build

This F1 Racecar was something Dugald and I have been talking about doing for a long time. All of the regular batteries and motors just aren't fast enough. We tried our best to keep everything light weight, but enough paneling to show the curves of a real F1.

Fastest car we've ever built by lachlan cameron, on Flickr

 Technic Addict was so kind to lend us his RC buggy motors, battery pack and  Michelin tires. (I am quite fond of those tires, but I checked bricklink and found the cheapest used pair to be 110$ for all 4 so yeah... not going to buy em*huh*

Dugald asked Technic Addict what he would like to see built with these motors and he was really keen on seeing a light F1 car to show off the speed of the motor. SO here you go Technic Addict! Thanks!

My brother and I sat down yesterday at 4pm, grabbed a few drinks, and built the night away. At 12pm we were done!

The car weighs 1450 grams or 3.2 pounds. Most of the weight is in the Michelin tires :wink:
