Slingshot ( HotWheels ) 1.2

3.9/5

Definitely better! It has an interior and it looks good, albeit large and a tad wonky with the car from the movies. It needs some fine tuning on handling and possibly the interior improved.

Modeled and animated tacho and speedo needles, clutch, gas, brake pedals and steering wheel and sequential shifter. A VERY GOOD start and base to build upon! It is very obvious this was put together with thought and reference from the movies with some personal liberties, and that is fine.

2.7/5

Would benefit heavily from a basic interior, and pop-up headlights. The original car was a 7-speed manual with 2 reverse gears. This doesn't have the 2 reverse gears (not really a big deal, just a note). Gears 5, 6, and 7 are too tall; The car only needs to get to 270 MPH on its own power, technically. After that, a NOS boost gets it to 300 MPH.

Trans axle gear ratio is good; 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear ratio's are spot on, but 5th 6th and 7th need to be shorter.

Basic outline of the car is spot on. Wheels/rims size look like they belong on the car. Interior is desperately needed; at the very least, 2 seats, a dash and steering wheel.

Suggestion: Scale up the engine in the back in blender to look like the car from the movies. The engine took up most of the rear end and a massive heatshield behind the 2 seats protected the driver and passenger from the heat from the engine. Engine technically makes about 100HP less than the car from the series, maybe edit some of the values inside the jbeam manually instead of a redesign?

Car is fast and light (a hair under 1050 kilos is amazing with a full 70L tank, well done!)

Basically, just add at least a bare bones interior and optimize the 5th, 6th and 7th gears and it'll be a 4/5 rating!
