SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on constructing stable back wheels for a Lou-vee-Air Car, specifically addressing the issue of wheel wobbling. The user initially employed paper clips with 90-degree double-L bends and tape for attachment, but found this method inadequate. After further experimentation, it was confirmed that using a double-bend design and a straw without wire as the axle significantly improved stability. These findings provide actionable insights for anyone facing similar challenges in model car construction.
