I used the solidworks program to design the car parts each part alone and then i assembled them as you can see in this images ,

Here is a link you can download the full design and the final assembly , NOTICE that you will need SolidWorks 2015 to preview or edit parts >> 4WD_Car_SolidWorks2015_design
