Motor has double-ended shaft and is mounted in the middle. The driveshafts are attached to motor with small rubber sleeves. The driveshafts are supported by 'bearing stanchions' in the middle of each power truck.All 4 axles are driven by the shaft.You put the rubber bands on the shafts by sliding the driveshafts out of the rubber sleeves.All 4 bands must be on the shaft in the same direction. It is necessary to disassemble the trucks themseves to put the rubber bands on them. THERE ARE ISULATING BLOCKS in the trucks which must not be left out or switched around, because the truck frames are metal, as is the engine frame.It is easier to disconnect the leads to the frame and motor when working on the trucks. <br />regards/Mike
