      Hi Taku!

      Have you made the buggy as small and as light as possible?

      Maybe you cound attach two fans to the motor in parallel, or boost the battery power?

      Or how about changing the grip on your buggy’s tyres, as maybe they are too grippy, or not grippy enough?

      Is the buggy fairly streamlined, or bulky?

      Maybe you could spread the weight of the buggy over a wider area over the wheels?

      I’m not great at these things, as it’s all mechanics! Let me know if any of these ideas have worked though, and I’ll keep thinking! Let us know if you get it moving.
