All you really need the wheels for is friction to stop the entire thing
slipping, so you don't really need a "vehicle" at all! Just a static base with
your lever! The rules don't specify that it actuall has to be moveable!
BTW, there's a fair bit of twisting in the axles in my entry - that's why I'm
looking at a version using the 8458 - the wheels are smaller diameter, and the
springs are stronger 8?)
