This one uses a micro rc car for the movement. I bought a bunch of these cars on ebay. "The Driver" is remote controlled. The car I used is an Enertec "Micro Flash Charger Fromula 1". This car has two LEDs that light up while the car drives forward. I used that and added "eyes" to "The Driver".
To attach the Pumpkin I had to remove some parts of the carriage. I removed the antenna and use a wire instead. This wire can easily be but into the pumpkin.
The LEDs are mounted on top of the motor block. I removed them and put new ones into the pumpkin. I wired them using tine copper wire that has some varnish (is that the correct English word?) on it. The wires where all weeded through holes in the carriage.
The pumpkin is now glued onto to carriage.
