Re: World's Fastest R/C Car, anyone?

they said that turbine power is allowed, and that made me wonder...what if you used a solid fuel rocket motor to spin a turbine? the only issue that i wonder about is rule #6

Quote:

6. The vehicle must remain operable after its speed runs. Sacrificial motors or power systems that are inoperable after a run are not permitted.

would a spent rocket motor be considered a "sacrificial motor"?

the whole question is hypothetical, since i wouldn't know how to go about making this...i'm obviously out of my element.
