Hi - we may be able to help but will need more details.

First, can you let us know if you are doing this project from the Science Buddies website? If so, did you purchase one of the kits listed in the Materials section? https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... owered-car

Second, can you describe exactly what is happening with the car? For example, if you disconnect the belt, does the motor spin? (if not, then there is something wrong with your circuit)

Thanks,

Ben
