Why Doc Fizzix:

At Doc Fizzix, we have been designing, making, and building mousetrap powered cars for more than 30 years. Unlike any other mousetrap vehicle kit you will find on the market today, each of our kits has been designed and tested over and over again to insure your success. We use only the best quality parts and components in our kits. We have been featured multiple times in books, magazines, and national aired programs. We wrote the very first book devoted exclusively to the building of mousetrap vehicle selling more than 200,000 copied world wide. Our kits are used in more schools across the country than any other brand. Mousetrap powered cars and vehicles is our specialty.


Features:

  • Reduced Friction Bearings
  • Adjustable Steering
  • Light-weight balsa wood
  • Brass tubing axles
  • 12-inch brass lever arm
  • Pre-cut and pre-drilled
  • Low inertia DVD layer wheels
  • Doc Fizzix's easy-wind, snag-free propulsion system

The Basic II Kit 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.

Performance upgrades

The reduced friction bushings included in this kit decrease the total amount of friction and increase the efficiency of the vehicle by as much as 25-30% over other conventional bushing systems. Adjustable Steering guarantees that the Basic Kit II will travel straight down any hallway; the Basic Kit II can also be adjusted to go in a complete circle of almost any radius.

The Basic Kit II can be assembled in less than 60 minutes for most first time builders and when finished it will travel from 40-65 meters. The Basic Kit II comes with a 12-inch lever arm making The Basic Kit II a good long-distance vehicle without the need for adjusting the lever arm length once assembled.

As with all our top mousetrap racer kits, The Basic Kit II includes our "easy-to-wind" and "snag-free " string release system that will not tangle or snag for increased performance, a technique developed exclusively by Doc Fizzix.
