How it works:
Lock-Tight's braking system uses a special wing-nut that travels along a threaded axle until it lock tight against the frame of the vehicle causing the Lock-Tight to come to an instant stop. Setting the braking system is simple and easy: just place Lock-Tight at the finish line with the wing nut in the lock position, roll the vehicle back to the start line, and now you are ready for racing. Rolling Lock-Tight from the finish line to the start line sets the wing-nut in the exact position needed. Lock-Tight also comes with two rubber treads that are designed to increase the stopping traction helping the racer to come to a stop without skidding.As with all our top mousetrap racer kits, Lock-Tight 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.
