Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Wood
- Start by cutting the piece of wood to the desired length.
- Sandpaper the edges to ensure they are smooth.
Step 2: Drill Holes for Bolts
- Measure and mark the location for the bolts on the wood.
- Drill holes at the marked locations using appropriate size drill bits.
- Make sure the holes are deep enough for the bolts to go through.
Step 3: Insert the Bolts
- Place the axle through the holes on the wood.
- Add washers on both sides of the wood.
- Slide the bolts through the holes and add washers on the other side.
Step 4: Tighten the Bolts
- Use the socket wrench to tighten the bolts securely.
- Ensure that the axle is firmly attached to the wood without any movement.
Step 5: Secure the Axle
- Use the flathead screwdriver to pry open the split end of the axle.
- Insert a small nail or cotter pin into the hole to secure the axle.
- Hammer the nail or cotter pin in place to prevent the axle from coming loose.
Step 6: Attach the Battery and Motor
- Follow the instructions from the battery and motor manufacturers to attach them to the axle.
Step 7: Power and Test
- Connect the battery and motor according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Turn on the power and test the battery-powered car to ensure the axle is properly attached.
Remember to double-check all connections and ensure they are secure before operating the car. This process may vary slightly based on the specific axle and wood you are using, so check the product manuals for any additional steps or recommendations.
