Re: Mousetrap Vehicle B
what is everyone using for wheels? we were gonna use small wheels but our vehicle is only going 6 meters (on average) with the wheels. any suggestions to make it go further?
Re: Mousetrap Vehicle B
Bigger wheels, adjust kill arm length, increase/decrease axle diameter. Make a lighter car. Lots of youtubes on this.neerja.shah wrote: ↑January 11th, 2020, 7:58 am what is everyone using for wheels? we were gonna use small wheels but our vehicle is only going 6 meters (on average) with the wheels. any suggestions to make it go further?
Lots of wheel options. Google hobby wheels. We printed ours.

Re: Mousetrap Vehicle B
Hey, I got 4 bearings for my mousetrap vehicle, but now that I'm using them, I'm wondering if they might be too heavy. What are your thoughts on bearings? Also if bearings are too heavy, what are other options for reducing the friction in the axles?

Bearings are worth the weight unless you're using insanely large ones, in which case you probably consider smaller ones (ex. 3/16").

Re: Mousetrap Vehicle B
Just out of interest even though this subforum isn't active I was wondering how teams are getting high speeds and 12 meters?Because we can't seem to do it.

Re: Mousetrap Vehicle B
Does the type of string have an impact on the distance or speed of the vehicle?
