We had one kid in our pack whos dad had spent tons of time making a very intricate cheater car. Was so delicate they wouldn't let the kid hold it.
Was even funnier when I wiped the floor with him. I had just cut mine into a wedge, as thin as was needed for the axles, weighted it to spec, and made sure the 3wheels that touched rolled very smoothly.
