why does it have those small wheels at the back?
They're wheelie bars, to limit how far the front wheels come off the ground when it accelerates.
Called "wheelie bars", they are for cars built for the dragstrip, they keep the vehicle from raising the front wheels of the ground during initial acceleration.
