Maybe it's a stupid question, but I have to make it. I've been working on my
neverending sports car using no specialized parts (u-joints, Lego
differentials, special suspension and gearbox parts, etc)  (so I have to use
my own built-up diff)...

The "maybe-a-stupid" question is:
Is a rubberband good enough for driving a 600-piece car with 3 speeds and
all wheel suspension without causing too much tension (and cracking pieces)?
Should I use single or double rubberbands? Or are there better ways for
driving the car(apart of using the official diff, which I don't have)?

The rubberband would be attached to a pulley that is part of the diff, and
the car won't be motorized (I don't have any 9V motor).

Thanks a lot

Luis
