Make: Volume 98

Get ready to get off your screens, get outside, get together, and get pumped with Make: 's Action issue!

In this issue we celebrate the joys of building thrill machines and dialing them in for maximum fun -- and the makers who show us how. Learn the mysterious arts of tuning motors, propellers, and tires for speed and performance -- be it real race cars, or insane electric go-karts and acrobatic whoop quadcopter drones that you can make, or even jet-assisted ski runs. Rather fight than race? Prepare for battle by modding or making your own custom, foam-flinging extreme Nerf blasters!

Is there danger? Sure. Is it worth it? Absolutely.
