Could you please send some design ideas to me for a school project? I need help with making a mouse trap car that will go 40ft forward and reverse.

Sincerely,

Matthew Johnson

We used small steel washers between wheels and the body to help reduce friction and keep the wheels away from the body. We did not use any kind of sleeve on the axle to reduce friction, but we should have. The next year, we put a small piece of a drinking straw around the axle and that worked pretty good as a bearing. Everyone needs to realize that this video was only to show how we made the mousetrap car reverse. It really needed a lot more work to make it work well. So, to ask questions about anything except the reversing part, is really wasting time. We don’t have those answers.

What did you make your bushings out of? To reduce the friction.

Sorry, there are so many options to make a mousetrap car. I suggest you check out our video at http://mcdougallshome.net/2010/03/17/reversible-mousetrap-car/. There are lots of resources out there to help you. Our little video is not a "how to" or intended to be one. Have fun, research, and innovate. John

Thanks Roger,
Yes, that is an HW-8. I didn’t know you were a ham. Very nice.
Blessings to you, and your ministry. I travel all around Montana for my job, and even in some very remotest spots, there is YNOP doing it’s job.
