The R2D2 Tutorials publish information to /tf, which is visualized in rviz. It does NOT simulate the motors and other functionality for it to be fully simulated in Gazebo.
Alas, I have not myself mastered the Gazebo half of model building. However, I can recommend checking out how other robot models do it, such as http://ros.org/wiki/erratic_description
I found this : http://answers.ros.org/question/9628/moving-a-robot-in-gazebo/
it looks like it might point in the right direction for that.

Not enough information. How does your set up look like?
I'm not sure what kind of information you're looking for?
For example, what tutorial did you follow? How do you move the models in rviz?
Also which launch files are you running? Which ROS distribution? See http://ros.org/wiki/Support
I'm using ROS fuerte and I followed this tutorial:
http://www.ros.org/wiki/urdf/Tutorials/Using%20urdf%20with%20robot_state_publisher
I'm using the state and launch file from that page. I changed model.xml to model.urdf and made the launch file look for model.urdf instead of model.xml.
