Rubber Band Racer

Enjoy building this rubber band racer for your child or grand child. Make sure to take the age into consideration with this toy. If broken there could be small parts that toddlers could get in their mouth. Be safe.

You need to cut the wheels carefully to make sure they are as round as possible. Good practice for circle cutting.

Notice the rubber band tread on the back tires. The drive shaft is inserted into the rear axle by carefully drilling a 1/8" hole dead center.
