Hi polarbear, heres an idea for you will make things alot easier,
have two scenes, one with the lego coming together and after separating, and another scen with all objects put into the same layer except the wheels.

With the wheels make three wheels a follower to one wheel. the back two to follow the pitch angle and the front to follow the pitch and heading.

This allows you to animate one wheel that dictaes the rest of them.

Then when thats done, render out the scene where everything come together and breaks apart, cut it into two parts and just stick the animated buggy scene in the middle of them lmao.

Think that sounds confusing but, it is the easier way to do this.

As for reflections looking at your renders you only have about 5 materials so just make several object the same object and that will sort the reflection problem.

Hope this helps and not confuses things
