Abstract: A miniature vehicle and method for assembling one or more wheels on the vehicle which includes a chassis and a bodywork, wherein the method consists of introducing one end of a hub extending from a wheel through a stop element integrally formed with one of the chassis or the bodywork and maintaining the hub in position between opposing surfaces of the stop element. The vehicle produced is characterized in that each wheel is secured to a hub having an outer flange adapted to cooperate with the stop elements formed in one of the chassis and the bodywork in order to retain the hub against translation forces relative to an axis of a hub and wheel assembly.
