Last night I made episode #8 in my 15x15x15 series and it worked fine http://youtu.be/GYBfWrnjcgU
but I wanted to improve it so this video is the modified version of that car. I have extended chassis used CDs for the back wheels. By extending the chassis I do not need a prop under the lead weight to stop the car tipping up as the back wheels are now well behind the weight.

Main components are
-
Plastic tray
2 CDs for back wheels
2 discs cut from credit cards for front wheels
2 Barbecue skewers
Lead weight
Flower cane
Rubber bands

Main tools
-
Sharp knife
Hot glue gun
Drill
