To attach the wheels and gears to the axles of the Ray Catcher Solar Vehicle, follow these steps:
1. Deburr the axles by brushing the ends against sandpaper to make it easier to push them into the wheels.
2. Detach Gear I from the gear font and remove any plastic flashing between the gear teeth using a sharp knife.
3. Place the gear on a table and insert one of the axles into the gear. Slide the gear 1-7/8" from one end of the axle, leaving 3-3/8" from the other end of the axle.
4. Slide two nylon spacers onto the axle, one on each side of the gear.
5. Place one of the rear wheels flat on a table. Keeping the spacers in place, insert one end of the axle into the wheel and slide it until it is flush with the opposite side of the wheel.
6. Lay the other rear wheel flat on the table and slide the free end of the axle into the wheel until it is flush with the opposite side of the wheel.
7. Stretch a wide rubber band around each of the wide wheels to act as tires and provide traction for the vehicle.
8. For the front axle assembly, place one of the front wheels flat on the table and insert one end of the remaining axle into the wheel until it is flush with the opposite side of the wheel.
9. Slide two nylon spacers onto the free end of the axle.
10. While keeping the spacers on the axle shaft, slide the free end of the axle into the other front wheel until it is flush with the opposite side of the wheel.
By following these steps, you will successfully attach the wheels and gears to the axles of the Ray Catcher Solar Vehicle.
