David, Henrik, Johanna and Sylvia try to recreate the epic Mythbusters episodes where Adam and Jamie convert a full size Chevy Impala to RC, strap some rockets on it and try to get the car going so fast that it becomes airborne.
We don't quite have that kind of budget so we settled for a 1:10 scale HobbyKing Desert Fox RC car. The rocket used is the same as in the Rocket knife series. Providing 54kg (120lbs) of thrust for 0.4 seconds.
The car weighs about 2kg so you can imagine the results.
After the first failure David mixes a slower burning charge which makes the car controllable under rocket power!
In the end I think we came pretty close to recreating the original Mythbusters episodes. Enjoy!
