My Own Unimog

$F:\DCIM\100IMAGE\good 1's\IMG_0004.JPG$

Here i built a toy that is simmular to a unimog. it is a toy car called a "Grave Digger" that i put a small electric motor onboard. This is my first instructable, so please be honest what you think of it. sorry that the pictures are of the final progect. i told myself that i would post this one, but i started without bringing my camera. also... forgive the picture quality, it is a 2 year old 50 dollar wal-mart camera.

you will need a toy car, motor and a battery pack

Motor...

get a toy car, remove the cover, and attach a motor. if you want to tape it, its ok. i have no picture of this step.

Soldering

solder the wires to the motor, and to the switch, solder the wires to the battery, bad idea but... or tape them.

Tape the battery on the car and you are ready to roll, mine can climb objects that are 2 inches high. below are some pics of the finished project.
