Hi,

The parts not used included the wheels: something aught to be able to be done with them!  Inspiration ‘Fuel tank’!  The wheels were glued together on a rod and turned smaller; another axle was used as the filler and card board was used to represent straps.

A battery and switch were wired to the motor.  The aluminium rod in the battery container is a crude form of speed control; the motor will work on 6, 4.5, or 3 volts.  Also having 4 cells will allow radio control to be fitted.  A load has to be made to hid the battery.  I don’t think I will fit a cow catcher as it will make what is a robust model a little fragile
