Re: pic: Cheap 6WD

Plane the wood to 1/2" thick, Drill lighting holes, and laminate one side with 1/4" hardwood plywood?

I like where this is going.....

Wood wheels also?

We used PVC wheels a few years, the stuff used for exterior wood replacement. Worked well (won regional both years) Easy to make, drilled a hole in the middle, cut round on a bandsaw, pressed in bronze bushings, and bolted sprocket to the side (dead axle)

Bronze bushings in our wheels made it through 2 regionals, nationals, 3-4 off season competitions, and is currently a test bed. Still on the same bushings.
