Guaranteed to increase speed and distanceReducing friction is the number one goal for building a record setting mousetrap powered racer. Graphite powder is the one product guaranteed to dramatically increase both speed and travel distance for any mousetrap vehicle. Pine-Pro graphite powder is a special blend of micron sized particles that will reduce friction from 20-50% and it will give your mousetrap racer that winning edge. Doc Fizzix personally uses graphite powder on his entire line of racers in order to maximize performance. Graphite powder should be used anywhere two surfaces touch or rub against on another; the most common application is between the axle and the frame in order to reduce the rubbing friction. Also place a little on the mousetrap's spring to save even more energy.
Caution: graphite powder should not be used with micro-bearings.
