The chassis is designed to assemble in a very short time without glue. Glue (white glue or similar) is required to glue the rear wheels and the string loop holder in place.
We recommend you have a pair of scissors handy to cut the string to the desired length.
Our STRETCH racer comes with all the parts needed for assembly:
laser cut plywood chassis parts, wood wheels with O-rings, wooden axles, pulley, plastic axle tubing as well as rubber string and kite string. Instructions are included.
