I dont think it would turn out too heavy if i used it wisely. For the wheels im almost set on using cds with rubber trim around them for traction.

hey, for the part with the cd's that was the same thing i was going to do but never worked out.

i tried to put elastic bands around the cd but they kept coming off.
