Design and build your own battery-less buggy with this pull-back motor, axles, and wheels kit. Design your own chassis, add this kit, pull it backwards, let go, and let the elastic potential energy stored in the spring inside the motor propel your buggy forward. We have also produced an assembly instructions pdf which can be downloaded in the resources section at the foot of the product description.

The kit comprises a pull-back motor with a drive axle, a front axle, and 4 wheels. Attach them to a chassis of your own design, go lightweight speed machine or slow and flashy, and let your imagination run wild.

This is a great project to engage younger budding design students with or for use in physics/science lessons for exploring potential and kinetic energy. Creating and decorating a custom chassis could be a lot of fun and could be used as a hands-on taster activity.
