THAMES and KOSMOS
Students build a model race car and learn how cars steer and shift. They build a working 4-speed manual transmission with reverse and neutral, a drive wheel torque differential for better traction and handling around curves, shock absorbing suspensions, and a visible V8 engine with a crankshaft, pistons, and exhaust fan. An adjustable steering wheel can be installed for left- or right-side driving. A 40-page full-color manual guides the build and teaches key mechanical engineering concepts like gears and engines.
