Step 2: Drive system, Pulley Assembly
and Front Wheels
-
Using Epoxy, glue a small grommet (or other pully system) to the center
of the drive motor.
-
Drill 1/8" axle holes in both sides of the drive at the right level
to line up the pulley with the axle. Optional: Place another
grommet on the axle and glue in the center.
-
Insert axle, slipping in a rubber band of the proper size (should be
tight from pulley to axle)
-
Attach the wheels (tight fit)

Step 3: Rear Wheels
-
Drill holes through the plastic wheels.
-
Using the existing screw holes, attach the wheels with the bolts ( don't
tighten too much, must be able to spin freely)
