I had several requests to make a Rubber Band Powered Cars of certain weights. The latest had to be under 200 grams so that's what this one is. In fact it is about 100 grams and it did 14 metres comfortably. I cannot answer comments from people who have blocked replies, so if you don't get a reply to your question that may be the reason.

OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap. https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan
