Description

PDF

Assembly of the model is the same as the original model.  I added some pdf drawings to illustrate the assembly of the model.  The model utilizes seven 608 RS skateboard type ball bearings.  Printing the axel's on its sides makes them stronger.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

The only significant change is the profile on the fork, to get the model to run reliably even without any lubrication.  I also added a little pulley for testing the model using a string and weight (I could run the model reliably with a D shackle weighing 56g)
