Adding a motor to a non-RC toy
Dear RC Universe forum members,
I and my son are trying to add an RC motor to a non-electronic toy, but we don’t know how to mechanically link the motor we have to axles.
This is the toy we want to modify:
And this is the toy from where we are sourcing the electronics from (Huina Dumper Truck):
Here is the challenge:
What we have tried already:
Thank you
EDIT: really sorry, I can't seem to include images. Will need to wait until I have 10 posts

Here is the challenge:
What we have tried already:
- Using a rubber band to link axle to the motor (the plastic on the rotor has ripped the rubber band)
- We thought of using cog wheels, but the distance between the rotors and axles is uneven and quite specific, so I'm not sure this would be possible
Thank you
