Single Motor Racing Vehicle: Red's Rescue

The challenge was to make a moving vehicle using a motor and gears that carries a 1 kg weight as fast as possible on a 3 meter course. One has to find the right ratio of gears in order for the vehicle to move swiftly and to carry the weight.
Try 1 moved fast without weight and didn't move at all when carrying the weight.

Try 1 is very fast when the only weight it carries is that of a Lego figurine!
Try 2 runs reasonably fast with and without the required weight AND is very cute!

We named our figurine Red. This is Red and his fire rescue.
