Ka-On wowed us Friday night at our most recent ParLUGment meeting with his
homegrown monorail on a ZNAP track.
He used a single 9V motor & wormgear to drive 2 of those balloon space tires
(http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=4288) which were held against
the track with an elastic I believe. Jude tested it's torque by making it go
up a steep grade, which it did without any problem. Ka-On said he would use
technic beams/plates or something to maintain the rigidity of the track on a
larger scale. Anyways, you can read Jude's short review of it here:

Play well.
