Propeller RC car

A cool rc car, powered by a propeller. The car is very easy to build for anyone. Scotch tape rolls are used as wheels. This makes the wheel size adjustable as well ;-).
The car is made out of makerbeam aluminium profiles, which can easily be screwed together. For the propulsion of the car, a brushless rc motor + propeller are used. For steering there are two servo mounts (you have to mirror one) to mount mg90s servo's in.
An optional (actually kinda mandatory) addition is a braking system, which uses another servo, which drives an axle with two 'braking blocks' on it which will press down on the tape rolls, which makes the car come too a stop. The car has very little resistance when driving because there are no gears etc connected to the wheels. So the brake system is recommended.
I don't have very clear written instructions on how to make the car, but I think the photo's can tell you a lot. Furthermore I used makerbeams 3mm bearings for inside the wheels, and used just a pcb spacer to mount the car on the front beam. As a linkage rod for the servo and the part on the front beam, I just used some thick metal wire. This worked fine, but was a bit of a primitive solution.
I'm sorry for the documentation of the project being 'concise', but off course I am happy to answer a question when you are wanting to make the car.
