first make two holes for the motors to fit side by side ( mark the holes for the motor placing the toy wheel side by side on the cardboard with a distance between them of 2mm). Then solder the wires to the motor (red for positive black for negative). Then fix the motor on the holes made on the cardboard.

Then connect the wires form the motor with one another( positive of the one motor to negative of another motor vice versa) as shown in the image

Then connect the toy wheels to the motor shaft. After that connect a switch and battery pack (4 AA battery in a battery holder)
