Gravity Racers

This is actually our oldest project! Developed from a project called 'pine car' - where competitors craft a car from a block of wood, two axles and 4 wheels this project has moved into the 21st century using CAD CAM. Various iterations include cars with sprung chassis, multilayer MDF to minimal MDF and cardboard bodies.

The latest racers are our glue-less range where you build the car from a MDF frame and card body without the need for glue. Just a bit of Sellotape here and there maybe. These can be made by 10 year olds in 20 minutes and coloured to taste with felt tips. 

The real STEM element comes when fettling the axles and wheels to achieve the highest speeds. 

Our slow racing track facilitates competitive racing in as short a distance as 6 feet!

​

Kits cost from £2.50 each with the Bugatti as a starting point. Getting more complex (check out the Napier Railton) gets more costly in laser cutting but hey . . .what a car . . .!?

​

This project brings something for everyone. We can even laser cut a driver with your face!
