I've done the WD40 soaking and tried some manual stretching. I swear if it had 1 or 2 more teeth, the car would loosen up and come alive. I've seriously spent too much time and money trying to prove a point that an inexpensive car can win and stay cheap.

Any help would be appreciated.
Ok... this may sound a bit strange but ...
A few holes , A couple bearing blocks, 4 beveled gears....
Yes Zosha! A side drive shaft.
