This is a very fun little car I built, which also happens to have a jet engine. Basically, if you are above 100mph, you can take off and glide for a bit, or use the engine to fly away completely. Piston engine = 1, jet engine = 2. It is a bit unstable, and doesn't do well with rough landings, but it's extremely fun to drive! Feel free to modify, and enjoy!

    @Ryxis I'm pretty sure that would work out, however I'm a noob at modding :( The new model I built is capable of taking off at 90 mph without having to jump over a slope. I'll upload it in a few minutes

    This is a great design I would love to see it have some sort of mechanism that allows it to jump up, maybe modded Pistons facing down?

    @TTHHSSSS Thanks! I'm trying to build one with bigger wheels and more lift so it can deal with worse terrain

    Awesome! Very creative! It actually flies great for its size!
