mousetrap cars and vehicles

The ultimate in performance
These super lightweight wheels have almost no rotational inertia and are the perfect design for all speed-trap dragsters or hill climbers. These are the same wheels we are using on our hot new vehicle kits, The TorqueMaster (mousetrap racer) and Sling Shot (rubber band racer). By using these lightweight wheels, your vehicle will be able to accelerate quicker off the start and reach its top speed well before the rest of the competition. These wheels are best used for front non-drive wheels on speed-trap dragsters. Set comes with four 1.25 inches injection molded wheels and two 6" brass axles.

Includes: 4-injection molded wheels and two 6" brass axles.




Great for all speed or hill climb contest
Will all speed-trap and hill climb challenges you want to convert as much energy all possible into linear kinetic energy of motion and not into rotation energy. Low inertia wheels means that more energy from the mousetrap will be converted into linear kinetic energy of motion instead of rotational energy of the wheels. If your wheels have allot of rotational inertia more of the mousetrap's potential energy is needed to go into the turning of the wheels and therefore less energy goes into the liner motion of the vehicle, the racer does not accelerate as quickly in this case.
