its simple, i know theres no premade kits but can you use stuff from an xmod?

if you have any gen1 stuff, you can build a drive system with the rear axles, gear box, and gear differential.

1. Lock the diff with some sticky tack (poster tack), or hot glue.

2. While you have the differential apart, cut a rubber band and put it in between the two halves of the diff before you screw it back together (don't tighten it to the point of cutting the elastic).

3. mount the the gearbox on a chasis you built, cut out of sheet metal, or wood, whatever you have available. cut two holes in line (towards the front of the car), maybe 2 inches away from the diff, and tie the other end of the elastic to the area between the two holes. You may need to leave some slack in the elastic.

4. mount some front wheels, you probably want to use a straight axle to keep the car going straight.

5. pull the car backwards to load the elastic, but don't overload the elastic or it may break, or simply cause the car to spin out. you may need to experiment with a few different kind of elastics elastic slack.

make sense?
