Hi,

I want to build a car that will be pushed by a motor for a short time and then
will disconnect from the motor and coast.  I have the gearing hooked to the
engine and it gives it a nice boost, but I cannot figure out a mechanism (using
any technics parts) that will cause the gearing to disconnect after about 2
seconds.  I have an arm that can come down to hit a switch or something, but how
to get the gears to move out of the way and not drag the car.

Any help appreciated.

Please reply to geoff8@cox.net
Thanks,
Geoff Meissner
