Hi There
My son would like to participate in our Pack’s “Outlaw” division in this years Pinewood Derby race.
He wants to attach a couple of fans to the back of the car … we were originally thinking of canibalizing a mini-drone but I think the hobby motors on this site would work just as well with a couple of mini replacement rotor blades.
I was thinking of using these parts:

What I’m not sure about is the switch - I’ve heard of guys using a with that you can depress … and when released (i.e. the bar drops for the derby race to start) the power to the fans is engaged.
So I thought I would ask the experts and see if you guys have any ideas about how this might work.
Thanks for any ideas or advice!
