Flywheel / Inertia Effects

[Stefan Krebs]

For a moment I thought you're talking about the Triang Minic cars, but they have plastic bodies. Yes, the flywheel on those is only about 12mm (1/2") and relies on 2-stage gearing to get high rpm, thus storing enough energy. As I have these, I can confirm that the energy is rather less than one would hope for; and the mechanics are not very long-lasting, only 1 of 5 cars is still working.   :police:
