   We're getting there - slowly.  I've got all the road wheels on one side 
installed, the sprocket in place, and the track wrapped around it all.  I 
figured I'd finish one side first to minimize rebuilding when I find I've 
screwed it up.
   I bought a pair of those so-called EV-X motors from surpluscenter.com, 
and they seem pretty nice - very strong.  I've just finished designing the 
motor mounts/reduction gears, so getting it moving is the next step.
   The battery I have turns out to be too tall to fit where I want it - 
oops.  Guess I need more practice with this "ruler" thingie.
