Making my car and motor was a big struggle for me. When I made my motor, I looked up on Google "How to make a motor with a battery" and I got this very good site with videos. Unfortunately when I went to go make my motor it didn't work! So I decided to undo the paperclips and put them on both sides of the battery and made the top of the paperclips curve up to be like a holder for the wire. Finally I got the wire to spin in circles! Next I had to make my car. When i first got the bag full of the car pieces, I thought that it would be impossible because there was so many pieces! But really all you had to do was read the instructions and glue the car together. After I glued the car together I had to screw the motor into the back of the car. After I screwed the motor to the back of my car i had to somehow make the wires that were attached to the motor connect to the battery that came with the car. I first tried to tape the battery to the car and then tape the wires to the battery which didn't work at all. After that I took picture hooks and wrapped them around them around a piece of wood on the car and put the wires through them so all I had to do was push the battery against the hooks and the car would run. I finally got the car to run thanks to the hooks. Also thanks to the new motor I got because in the beginning the motor broke, my car was the fastest out of all of them.
