Rear wheels, actually. Maybe front would have pulled the model better.
Right now, it's driven by a worm gear, but the gears still slip sometimes!
On linoleum, the wheels slip when they turn, so the vehicle doesn't move.
On carpet it creeps very slowly and requires constant steering adjustment.
I haven't driven it much, since it sounds like there's a lot of stress. At
least the suspension is stiff :P
