If the wheels are bouncing off each other, then that could be chaotic in the same way as billiard balls. But at least macroscopically, there’s a crapton of damping in that simulation, so I find it more likely that the chaos is microscopic. But also my intuition agrees with yours, this system doesn’t seem like it should be chaotic...
