Default RE: Propeller Powered Car

School Started. I still need to rig a braeking system. I need longer rear arms and longer doggy bones. Need pullies and cable. My engine mount is built, and soon to be covered in Fiber Glass.


Opinion time for thos of you with opinions. Forward mounted engine with standered prop or rear mounted engine with pusher prop.

the way I see it:
Forward engine will give me better gravitational center and reduce wieght in the back so I don't have to compansate for as much with downforce.
Pusher Engine would make for easier starting, easier adjustmants to compansate quickly and I'd be able to mount the gas tank in a better position.

IF these ^^ are wrong I don't mind being told. What do you people think?
