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

- use your pencil to draw the dimension from step one , you can use rapper to edit .
- safety is number one be careful when you assemble the saw with the shaft of the drill .
- hold your drill carefully turn it on start to cut .
- after finishing the first layer put it on the wood sheet and mark it with pencil .
- grind the 2 layers to give the cool look .

-
get internet cable and cut into 8 different color wires .solder the wires to the 4 motor .
-
check the dimension carefully you can use hot waxs to fix the gears.
-
assemble the motor gear to the base layer with making hols for zip ties and close them .
-
cut the tie after closing it .
-
add the copper spacers to the layers .
Final Look :D
