Bad Piggies Road Hogs Level R-3 requires a time of under 25 seconds to earn 3 stars, or 30 seconds to earn 2 stars. The Road Hogs levels are pure time trials and, in general, are very challenging. Our contraption features 3 engines, an airplane propeller, and a tail. Be sure to toggle the motors to avoid nose-diving during jumps!

Alternative High Speed Solution
Similarly to level R-1, this contraption uses five metal frames, three engines, two airplane propellers, two yellow tail fins, and both umbrellas. You will fly this vehicle to the finish line by carefully toggling the engines. Thanks to ianxofour for sharing this ingenious approach.
The three stars in the video below was achieved in 00:24:04.
This is a variant of the contraption shown in the video posted by IanXO4 on R-1:

So far I got 23.23 seconds, including a crash landing

00:00 seconds? :P
@Josm — Amazing, but I think it’s really true. Pigineering techniques can work wonders.
After some practice, I got 14.25 seconds here using the method @f91jsw posted in the R-1 thread. I placed the helicopter and umbrella in the leftmost column to try to avoid the effect of the slope as much as possible.
Using the normal method, add a firework onto the top, and use it right at the last slope to give extra speed for 3 stars:)
@AustinRHL — F91jsw’s method sure is tricky on this one, but I did manage to get 14.89. Thanks for the tips.
Using the method from @F91jsw, I managed to land it by cutting the engine at about 12 1/4 seconds. It was 24 seconds for R-4. In both cases, you need to get the angle right, or you eat the hill pretty hard.
I’ve been trying @MattOG‘s strat on this with one hot-rod engine and 2 blue rockets, starting at far left. Haven’t managed to get angle and timing quite right, but think it can be done in 13 sec or less.
@mvnla2 Try this contraption: http://angrybir.de/WFtSOl
I eventually completed the level in 12.07 seconds. I started the propellers just before it bounced off the ground. The bounce gave it the correct angle, and firing the rockets immediately afterwards propelled it directly to the finish. Getting the timing just right was quite difficult, though.
I’ve got 12.71 with this contraption. I think this is the best solution so far.
11.77 with green motors added.
Thanks @AustinRHL
After several tries, I got 16.39 secs which is 4 secs more than yours :D I think this contraption is hard to drive.
12.1 sec ditching the left/right prop and using just one center prop above the pig.
I managed 13.94 with @MattOG‘s strat (one V8, one normal engine, two propellers, two rockets, two cola bottles). It seemed like an almost perfect run so I doubt there is more than a few tens of a second to shave off that time with this strat.
Almost 24.74 seconds with the same contraption on R-1.
I’ve got 22.91 secs using same contraption as R1, it is much easier to drive :)
Here’s a 21-23 second cart that needs no interaction other than turning the motors on.

When triggered right at the beginning, it seems to sail through the peaks and valleys perfectly. If it splats/nose dives/flips on the first 2 hills… it wasn’t triggered at the right time :)
Don’t forget to put metallic boxes around all the motors and you get better results with a metal box instead of a wooden one.
he y um in version 2.0 they made a new engine called the alien engine and its 10000 times more powerful than the v8 and its a skin for the green engine
