Description

Taking concepts from the Lou-Vee Air Car, the Propelleracer is sturdier and faster with more reliable results. Virtually any material can be used to build this simple concept car. However, a simple concept car does not mean a simple-to-build car. Top mechanical design is needed to create a powerful working racer that will beat its competitors.
