- To begin this part of the build, you will build a sub-model of the gear axle. Follow these steps to do that:
- Start with a yellow 7L axle and add a black 12-tooth double bevel gear into the middle of the axle.

- This sub-model should fit between the azure 13L beams and line up with the larger gear. At this point, nothing is going to hold it into place, but you will take care of that in the next step:
- You are going to build another sub-model for the wheels. Follow these steps:
- Connect two wheels together using a yellow 7L axle.
- Add a gray bushing on the side where the yellow 7L axle is most exposed.
- On the other side, add a white tooth onto the yellow...
