Pros:
-Realistic Eurofighter Car
-Provides the base for a car which canbe used for many other style cars (I will edit in a Maurer Sohne X-car later.
-Built-in Chaindog(s), by adjusting how far screws go in you can choose which is chaindog.
-Can cope with launches.
-Track width to car width is approximately the same is a traditional Eurofighter

Cons:
-If using both screws as chaindogs, the car loses considerable speed due to being unable to rotate as much
-Chaindogs are immovable/fixed.
-Heavy
-Requres the original 'Vertical Vengeance' set + any other Micro K'nex set.
-Wide, so it's recommended you leave an extra white rod gap each side when building to ensure no collisions.

X-car tutorial coming later.

Micronexer, I loved your Idea & customized it for SS I think it turned out OK.
even the people can ride it ( but the girls have to remove their hair first).
still have to add a chaindog, but that is just minor. Thanks for getting my gears grinding.

Yes the wheels are attached with rubber bands. they allow the car to twist and swivel with the track
