wholloway Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 On carpet use large wheels. I would not recommend using old CD's, unless it's really light. Wrap the elastic around a spool thats attached to the axle. The trick is to try different size spools. If the spool is too big, the car will not go far enough. If the spool is too small it will not have enough power to move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
