The Sol Expert kit was pretty straightforward to build. The instructions are simple and clear. You can choose between several gear ratios. The kit comes with a little wooden template to adjust the motor gear in different position depending on what ratio you choose.
The axle that came with the kit was a bit to thin for the LGB wheels I wanted to use so I made a spacer from a piece of styrene tube. It works but I am not totally satisfied because one wheel has still a bit slack. Perhaps I will replace it in the future with a brass spacer. But for now it is good enough.
And the end result; motor, axle and wheels all in place and looking just fine.
Now I really need to figure out how to make a simple chassis...
