Well..
I see, the 9V needs conduction trough the wheels.
In my 12V time, the recommondation was;
use a "potlood" (pencil) the normal gray one that you give to your children
to write with the first times.
And then just go over the metal contact points.. and wonders will happen.
Well... that's what they told me, and to me back then it worked.
Maybe this simple sollution works for you too?
