Are those o-rings on the back wheels - which happen to look like the hard plastic Ertl impelement type? Needed some extra grip? Nice Wedico drive rims and tires too!

Thanks I kind of started building it just to see if it would work and it works pretty good.

I will probably call it a CAT but I just started building it and this is what I have so far. Click on the first pic and you can see a short video of it working.
