The challenge is to make a custom wheeled land vehicle that is only powered by the wheel. The example to the left is qualifying. You cannot take other peoples' wheel designs. I will judge the fastest vehicle. Your score will be the speed of the vehicle. If the vehicle includes an extra thrust on the body which is optional, it's still qualifying. Using any thrust on the body is disqualifying. Thrusters going into the ground is all right as long as they don't angle forward.Entries must be a successor or I won't be able to see it. Challenge ends in one week on the 22th of July. The leader is currently Exumer.

Your vehicle cannot have extra body thrust. Your vehicle is void. You will need to make a variant that matches the description. @CPTcreation

Um @Exumer The vehicle isn't supposed to have body thrust. You'll need to make a new vehicle with powered wheels and no body thrust.

@KingDeadshot your score is 24. (Your entry is fine but the extra speed isn't added into your score because it is thrust on the body).
