Nice one, did you find my series of videos on constructing one of these?

I'd also recommend the 4wd kit, as they're so light they barely pull anything in 2wd mode.

I actually got around to adding the chain to the sprocket's I'd installed when I built mine (one of the round tuits I used up last week) and it performed immaculately at the weekend when the Daisy wouldn't move itself, let alone pull anything, on heavily greased-up rails.
