Perfect for ages 13+, this kit combines hands-on learning with competitive racing performance, made 100% in the USA. ## Description DESCRIPTION: The Basic Kit is the perfect mousetrap powered car kit for beginners and seasoned veterans alike. The Basic Kit is an easy-to-build, top performing, mousetrap powered vehicle that can be assembled in a variety of different ways making the Basic Kit the perfect mousetrap racer for just about any type of mousetrap vehicle contest. The Basic Kit comes ready-to-assemble with pre-cut and pre-drilled parts so you can be ready for action and racing on the same day. As with all our kits, The Basic Kit comes with step-by-step instructions that are filled with tons of top secret performance tips and tricks that have been developed exclusively by Doc Fizzix so that you will have all the information you need to make your Basic Kit a winner. The Basic Kit can be assembled in less than 30 minutes for most first time builders and when finished it will travel from 30-45 meters (actual results may vary). As with all our top mousetrap racer kits, The Basic Kit includes our "easy-to-wind" and "snag-free " string release system that will not tangle and/or snag, a technique that was designed exclusively by Doc Fizzix to increase the performance of your vehicle. The Basic 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. The travel distance will increase from 5-15 meters further compared to a similar vehicle using normal thickness CD/DVD wheels.TRAVEL DISTANCE: 30-45 meters (98 - 148 feet)INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING: Victor mouse trap Kevlar high-tech string Pre-cut and pre-drilled balsa wood frame Low inertia DVD layer wheels DVD wheel adapters Brass tubing axles Thrust washers 12" lever arm Doc Fizzix's easy-wind, snag-free propulsion systemTOOLS REQUIRED: Needle-nose-pliers Super glueSize: length = 21 inches, width = 6 inchesThis product is not a toy, it is a science hobby kit that requires the use of tools, glue, and problem solving.
