Now all you need to do is get one of those new rc cars that have the wheels a larger height than the car itself, so that it is drivable no matter which way it flips. I was hoping to see the truck be able to drive around after flight. And with the ground impact I’m sure if you go with that idea, there should be some heavy suspension mods. Unless you scratch the actual flight idea and just use the rocket for speed. Which I think would be pretty impressive as well.

You can buy up to a G size before requiring certifications in High Power Rocketry. Lvl 1 allows you to purchase H-I. Lvl2 Allows you to puchase J-K. Lvl 3 Allows you to purchase anything larger. N is generally the largest commercially available motor. But you can manufacture larger motors. The N can produce 2000LBS+ of thrust.
Thanks for the comment. None of us expected that, but I guess thats what happened when you pack a ton of thrust into a tiny object. the engine we used was a size G rocket engine which became unavailable after 9/11. However, three D size had almost the same effect.
