Actually the second car hasn't been finished yet, I'm working on it now. The
front is pretty much cosmetic and really serves no function.
As for my modified engine I'm a bit disapointed. I set up the Rail Racer
layout this evening so that I can get it cleaned up and packed for the fest
and have noticed that my engine isn't working well on the track. It seems
that there must be some drop in the amperage going to the track, even though
I read 9volts the engine performs very slowly, much slower than a stock
engine. So I figure that this must be due to the fact that the power has to
travel though a polarity switch and some other connections before reaching
the track (this is all part of the power switching system that allows the
RCXs to return the racers to their starting systems).
So it's back to the drawing board for my modified engine. I'm looking
forward to seeing yours Rob.
