Product Description

The High-Tech Braking system is the most advanced and easiest to operate braking system available for all STEM controlled stopping contests where precision and accuracy of stopping is required. Our High-Tech Braking system uses our unique wing-nut locking bar braking system that can be set to stop at any distance, depending on wheel size, from 0-20 meters. Developed by Doc Fizzix, the High-Tech Braking System has a wing-nut that travels along a threaded axle and is held from spinning by a locking bar until the wing-nut wedges tight against the frame of the vehicle causing the vehicle to come to an instant stop. Setting the braking system is as simple as placing your racer at the finish line where you want your vehicle to stop with the wing-nut in the locked position. Then the car is rolled back to the start line setting the wing-nut to the exact stopping position. The High-Tech Braking system comes with our complete step-by-step instruction guide that is filled with tons of top secret performance tips and tricks that have been developed exclusively by Doc Fizzix, with over 30 years of experience, so you will have all the information you need to make your controlled stopping vehicle a winner.


This is the same braking system used with many of our top performing vehicle kits. Includes everything you need to make your mousetrap, rubber band, balloon, and/or STEM vehicle project a winner:

  • High-Tech Braking system
  • Flexible Shock Absorbing Rubber CD/DVD Inserts
  • "easy-wind" and "snag-free" string release system
  • Thrust washers for reduced frictions.
