Cool Mods – Propeller Powered Skateboard

What does four hours, spread over four days, spare parts including an R/C model airplane engine and one tech geek get you?

How about a cool mod called the propeller powered skateboard.

This skateboard deck was the design work of the guys at Crazy Builders. Overall, they considered building this DIY design “straightforward” and involved attaching an overpowered model airplane engine and skateboard wheels onto a plank.

The toughest part of the build was during the planning stage and the decision of where to put the engine. Plane engines are generally on the front, but in a skateboard design, the problem with this would be the exhaust fumes in your face. Hence the decision to go with an engine on the back of the skateboard deck.
