24 hours of LeMons. Design a racecar!!

Yeah the troll is more on that epic track that we are looking for.

We want a racecar that is functional, but when you look at it doesn't really make you think racecar with a bunch of junk slapped on it but a complete and unified theme.

Well thats fine. Let me think of a more functional car sooner or later... :ugeek:

Hey, just thought I'd pop in here. I'm Chris - I did much of the airbrush and design work for the car last year (mainly the Crasher on the hood,) and I'll probably be doing much of the same for this year.

Looking forward to seeing all the wacky ideas! I really like the troll car. I have some additional ideas to expand upon that - but keep em coming!

i say a crystal car, so you can ride it to victory just like in the game

The self-propelled deer was one of my first ideas back when this whole thing started, but it'd be a lot of work to setup a whole system for spraying fake poo out the back. Not to mention that we can't really wet the track down due to safety concerns, and toting around a bunch of water would add a ton of weight to the car, slowing us down.

The troll car isn't bad :lol:

Where would we find that much black shag carpeting though? :shock:

Wal-Mart and Home Sense are some starters, and Wal-Mart would be a reasonable price!

Just be sure to order some about 2-3 weeks in advance if you go for the troll idea, otherwise they may not have enough by the time you get some.

Make the spinners in the wheels like the saws the industrialists magic does, Make the headlights glowing red eyes like the industrial castles bosses machines eyes. then dress the car up like the Cyclops' chariot thing (I forget what their called. :<) Im not the best MS painter but I'll try to draw it later.

I figured I'd post up 2 build/raceday videos from a team that has done very well with the theme stuff. I believe 2 years in a row they got peoples choice. And last year peoples curse as well

2007: Back to the Future theme

Now those are "Epic"

It should be a giant shedding troll from castle crashers with the music that plays when you fight it and a troll cannon :lol:

I honestly think a car with decals of all the bosses(and the crystal sticking out somewhere) would be neat.

the menu splash looks ok, but what about the rest of it? think 3D!

Some more pictures of the car itself can be seen here http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=6 ... =711217969

Since this was my first post, I though I better spend some quality time and try to give this my best shot

It is a bit stylized, but hey if you get the idea.. I guess thats ok for a start.
