Evonne Patawaran requested an electric car so here we are. The motor comes from a Solar Butterfly Stick Ornament. I will save the solar cell and use it to power this car in a later video. Main Components - Solar Butterfly Stick Ornament 2 litre Pop Bottle Polystyrene Pizza tray 4 Cds/DVDs 8 plastic bottle tops 2 barbecue skewers Self adhesive vinyl sheet Plastic clothes peg 3 volt button cell Clearly many parts of the world do not have polystyrene pizza trays. They are just the packaging that my local supermarkets use for pizzas. I use them because they are free and would otherwise be thrown away. You could use any polystyrene or styrofoam packaging you can find or even buy foam board from model shops. The foam I am using is about 5mm thick. Main Tools - Hot Glue gun Utility knife Soldering Iron Some help files Making the CD wheels https://youtu.be/ZRrjBuWfmrM CD Wheels with Cardboard Hubs https://youtu.be/Js1rtn2IGTE Putting rubber tyres on CDs https://youtu.be/ZnuPnveCbxs Connecting rubber bands https://youtu.be/EbYuhdwknbs Connecting the band to the axle https://youtu.be/0wPYxloUFJQ Here is a selection of related playlists/videos Electric Toy Cars https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB0yTUYmJSS3ML5xxaBzHl3e Toy Cars https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB3lGxxzEo_ZDnjnOtIlk50Q Electronic projects https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB00lxaX8BD46F1QDJTe7Em4 Simple projects https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB2HXSqJPl6Kv9J_pHHp4cIF My Channel page https://www.youtube.com/c/GrandadIsAnOldMan Oldest videos https://www.youtube.com/c/GrandadIsAnOldMan/videos?flow=grid&view=0&sort=da Most Popular https://www.youtube.com/c/GrandadIsAnOldMan/videos?sort=p&flow=grid&view=0 Newest videos https://www.youtube.com/c/GrandadIsAnOldMan/videos?sort=dd&view=0&flow=grid Playlists https://www.youtube.com/c/GrandadIsAnOldMan/playlists?flow=grid&view=1 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/grandadisanoldman/ Merchandise - Check both of these links if you are interested as the prices will vary and the shipping charges will be different. http://www.redbubble.com/people/grandadiaom/portfolio http://grandadisanoldman.cottoncart.com/ I have thousands of videos on YouTube, to find one try my search guides https://youtu.be/ceBSOoOHcgw or https://youtu.be/Zj4UgwkwYRk My "GrandadsOtherChannel" channel is generally where I will host the videos that give extra detail or longer versions of the videos I post on my main channel https://www.youtube.com/c/GrandadsOtherChannel
