I spotted a clockwork powered spinning top toy in the bargain store today so I bought it to see if I could use it to power a toy car. It works but it needs development to make it a viable power source. Increasing the weight of the wheels would improve their flywheel effect. If you need guidance on making the CD wheels here is my old helpfile. https://youtu.be/ZRrjBuWfmrM?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB2v0vxMJyZ9cPweAGx1FK6e Here is my old helpfile for putting rubber tyres on CDs https://youtu.be/ZnuPnveCbxs?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB2v0vxMJyZ9cPweAGx1FK6e Here is my old help file on connecting rubber bands https://youtu.be/EbYuhdwknbs?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB2v0vxMJyZ9cPweAGx1FK6e I will add this video to my Spring Power playlist as the clockwork spring is providing the power to move the car. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB3bEp0pE4UcVggFXWbujnSj The chassis I used in this video appears several times in this Rubber Band Powered Car #8 playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB0zJ5RHjvsw46Mio6uJjF5_ I cannot answer comments from people who have blocked replies, so if you don't get a reply to your question that may be the reason.

I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap. https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan
