Re: How do I hook up the motors to the wheels?

We can help you more if you tell us what motor and what wheel you want connected.

Generally motors run at speeds that are too fast for a wheel to do something useful (unless you want to shoot a ball or something) which is why a gearbox is often used.

Generally if you want to drive a wheel off a motor you would use a hub that matches the shaft on your motor and bolt it onto the wheel. But this depends on the motor and wheel combo, so more details are needed.
