Description

Remake of a classic rubber band racer (Thread Reel Tank). Rolls pretty good on carpet. But for a smooth floor you would need to put some extra rubber bands on each of the wheels, they have slots for that. For a better friction you can put a bit of WD40 between the body and wheel. To add friction and slow it down, you can add hand soap (classic :))
Not for little kinds, because it has small parts!

What you mean? Just with a finger, like on the video above.

like u put the rubber band in which hole, the top or bottom side. do you put the band in your own bottom side, or on your hole. it is annoying me that I don’t know how to set it up before you wind it

Replying to @user_3752976595 :
basically like that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8yZwrEaXiw except you use a small 3d printed bracket instead of a toothpick and tape

What can possibly go wrong, it's just a cylinder with a rubber band lol. Weak rubber band or too strong?
