## Overview

The Wrangler Mousetrap Car Kit, designed by an award-winning physics teacher, is a precision-engineered STEM project that travels 40-55 meters using a 15-inch lever arm and ultra-thin DVD wheels. Featuring lightweight balsa wood, low-friction brass axles, and a snag-free propulsion system, it’s perfect for beginners and experts aiming to dominate long-distance mousetrap car contests.

## Description

DESCRIPTION: The Wrangler is designed to be an easy to build, extreme long-distance-traveler that is a guaranteed winner for any mousetrap vehicle long-distance contest. The Wrangler is geared with an extra long 15-inch long lever arm that increases the amount of string wound around the drive axle thereby maximizing the pulling distance. The Wrangler comes ready-to-assemble with pre-cut and pre-drilled parts so you can be ready for action and racing on the same day. TheWrangler can be assembled in less than 30 minutes for most first time builders and when finished it will travel from 40-55 meters (actual results may vary). As with all our kits, The Wrangler comes with step-by-step instructions that are filled with tons of top secret performance tips and tricks that have been developed exclusively by Doc Fizzix so that you will have all the information you need to make The Wrangler a winner.PERFORMANCE UPGRADES: The Wrangler comes with ultra-thin, low inertia, DVD layer wheels that are the same diameter as a normal CD/DVD but only half the thickness. Because these wheels are only half the thickness compared to a normal CD/DVD they have only half the rotational inertia and your vehicle will have a greater acceleration and a greater travel distance compared to a similar vehicle using normal CDs/DVDs. The travel distance will increase from 5-15 meters further compared to a similar vehicle using normal thickness CD/DVD wheels.Includes our "easy-to-wind" and "snag-free " string release system that will not tangle and/or snag, a technique that was designed exclusively by Doc Fizzix to increase the performance of your vehicle.TRAVEL DISTANCE: 40-55 meters (130 - 180 feet)INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING: Victor mouse trap Kevlar high-tech string Pre-cut and pre-drilled balsa wood frame Low inertia DVD layer wheels DVD wheel adapters Brass tubing axles Thrust washers 15” lever arm Doc Fizzix's easy-wind, snag-free propulsion system Step-by-step plans with performance tips and tricksTOOLS REQUIRED: Needle-nose-pliers Super glueSize: length = 21 inches, width = 6 inchesThis product is not a toy, it is a science hobby kit that requires the use of tools, glue, and problem solving.

Review: Instructions need improvement and wheel hubs are far from ideal. - Make sure you glue the mouse trap to the car in the correct orientation. That is, think about the tension as the spring pulls the string from the axle. My car seemed to work better as a front-wheel drive vehicle.
Review: great time with my kids - great activity to do with your kids,

## Features

- Designed and engineered to be a super long distance traveler by a former award winning Texas physics teacher. Comes with a 15-inch long lever arm for extra pulling distance.
- Perfect mousetrap vehicle kit for beginners and seasoned veterans alike. Comes ready-to-assemble with pre-cut and pre-drilled lightweight balsa wood.
- This mousetrap car kit comes with light-weight brass tubing axles that spin with less friction for increase speed and distance, and do not warp like wood dowels, for a smoother ride without wobble.
- Includes Doc Fizzix's flexible rubber CD/DVD wheel spacers that are designed to act as shock absorbers to damper small bumps and imperfections in the road surface providing for a smoother ride that will increase both the speed and distance of your mousetrap vehicle project.
- Includes Doc Fizzix’s Ultra thin, low-inertia wheels that are the same diameter as a regular sized compact disk but are only half the thickness, therefor our wheels have only half the rotational inertia of a normal sized CD/DVD. Less rotational inertia means your mousetrap vehicle will travel further and faster compared to a normal thickness CD wheel.
- Features Doc Fizzix's easy-wind, snag-free propulsion system designed specifically for mousetrap powered racers
- Finished vehicle measures approximately 5 x 4.5 x 21.5 inches (H x W x D)
- All our products are 100% made in the U.S.A by Doc Fizzix in Spicewood, TX
