mousetrap cars and vehicles

Travel distance 80 - 150 meters
The Ultimate Distance Racer is designed after Doc Fizzix’s own World record setting mousetrap vehicle that traveled over 182 meters in 2003.  The secret is it's unique pulley system that is designed to maximize the transfer of potential energy over a 500% greater pulling distance than conventional propulsion systems while maintaining a more constant and a more uniform pulling force. The Ultimate Distance Race is an advanced kit that requires a lot of testing but will travel from 80-150 meters.

Size : length = 21 inches, width = 6 inches, lever arm = 12 inches.
Includes the following: balsa wood, DVD wheels, DVD/CD spacers, brass axle tubing, brass lever arm, Victor mousetrap, thrust bearings, axle hook, step-by-step plans, kevlar string, and secret performance tips.



The ultimate in technology
The High-Tech Pulley system is designed to uses a standard sized cassette tape ribbon as the drive chain instead of the more traditional direct drive string systems. This kit is requires more work and testing than other kits so it should only be built by those that have experience building mousetrap racers. The Ultimate Distance Racer comes ready to assemble with a pre-cut and drilled frame, machined pulley and gearing system, and includes a top-secret construction guide that is filled with tons of performance tips developed over the years by the pros.

Tools needed: glue, needle-nose-pliers.
