    OK guys for my tech class we are starting construction on co2 cars, and I have a couple good designs but I am looking for good ones. I can pay credits (only if you want them :P), but I have them on my artisitc ecstasy account. So if you have an account there I iwll pay you there or I can transfer them. Also there are a couple of requirements:

    Length: 12 inches ong
    Height: no part of the car can be higher than 2-3/4"
    Width: no part can be wider than 1-5/8"
    Shape: Between the front and the rear of the car, the shape cannot be less than 3/8" thick.
    Axles: Axle holes must be drilled 3/8" from the bottom of the body and can be placed any distance you desire from the front and rear of the car.
    Cartridge: Your co2 cartridge hole is 3/4" wide and 2" deep. It should be centered 1-1/4" from the bottom of the car.

    Also, try to stay away from the shell and transportation and modelling cars, becuase that's not required for my class. I'm looking for sort of a rail type or normal.

    Here's an example, but the colours and wheels and extra stuff don't need to be added. Measurements would be great too.

    Thanks for all your help!! Remeber, it needs to be light, but not too heavy and aerodynamic. Oh an we will be racing them and if the design I get wins, then you will DEFINETELY get more credits!!!
