Info:
I designed an engine and named it the TSLFRE (Turbo Shaft Liquid Fuel Rocket Engine) I decided it would look really cool on a dragster. So I built a dragster to go around the engine and made this, the TSLFRE dragster. It is extremely fast and powerful and has an aesthetic touch that I have not really put on any other vehicles before. I was stepping outside of my comfort zone just a little bit with this and I think I quite like it. Let me know if you think it looks all right or if you have any ideas of what I can improve on.

Controls:
- When you take this vehicle out to drive it though craft instructions will open up automatically and tell you the controls. They are quite simple
Notes:
You probably already knew this but making tubing or piping that is twisted and curved to the right shape is very difficult in simple planes and takes a great deal of patience and time.
I integrated quite a few of the features from the new update into this build.
Enjoy!

I like it and it’s a pretty good drift. I would have put a parachute though🧇🧇👍
I talk more about this in my video Link description above.
But basically, the assignment was to create some product that was unique and fictional and had not been created before. So I chose to create this new engine design and slapped it on the dragster. Of course the dragster part wasn't part of the requirement for the assignment. But hay, these are the good kind of assignments. I quite enjoyed it.
@Belloaka really? that's intereresting, tell me more please.
@50CalChicken Thank you, and to thinking originally started as a school project :)
This is amazing
