Arkadiusz Ochnio asked "can you make a 6 wheel drive car please if you could. sorry i am just obsessed with the number 6"
AW. Tom asked me to make a rubber band powered car that has 4 wheel drive.
Obviously making the 6 wheel drive car first meant I could also do the 4 wheel drive by removing 1 of the axles.
For both cars the benefit is a better start with no wheel spin compared to the normal 2 wheel drive cars.
The chassis is from one of my early projects and is made from plastic conduit and ball pen tubes for bracing.
