the easiest way ive ever done it with little cost was with 2 walkmans, a little elecrtical wire, some paper clips (the thick ones), hot glue gun, fishing line or thick thread, 2 simple 2 way switches from home depot and 4 d batteries taped positive to negative....to build it u need to decide if u want interior or not.....i usually dont but its ur preference. u need to lay the motors from the walkmans in a spot where its close to the axle u want it hooked up tothen simply glue the hell out of it....then from underneath the motor use ur xacto and drill a hole under the gear, this is where the fishing line or thread will go thru. now make a squared u-shape axle that is bent down and bak out around the frame rail size , u might have to modify where the axle will slide but make it slide with no effort, now drill a hole directly center on the frame to the center of the axle. now put your fishing line or thread into the gear and push it on the motor and slide it down thru the hole under the frame and up thru the axles hole and tie it off to the axle. now simply run wires from the motors to the switches....only positive needs to b hookt up the negative just connects to the batteries. and over time ull get a battery pack which helps alot and ull find better motors.....but that will get ur kit movin.....hope it helps, later
