Been wanting an affordable garbage truck for some time now and found this at Big Lots, which is close enough for now. The cab is diecast metal with the balance
in plastic. In my haste to prepare this truck I put it together traditionaly, rear wheel drive. Imagine my suprise when even with my strongest magnets the
truck refused to move on the track. The rear tires would just spin until you had enough magnet to stop them, but still no movement.
Realizing I needed the weight of the cab over the drive wheels I turned the Polyfect chassis around, pulled the magnets, flipped the pickup brushes the other way and added a guide pin to the front of the vehicle. Now it scoots around the track as only a 5 oz. front wheel refuse truck can.
