One of the most unoriginal and lame videos you ever made. I won't rate it only because in the past you made some very good videos.

Tire treads? by RevJoeyT, 1209141436 Report sent Spam Reply [+7]

How about wrapping rubber bands on the outside of the wheels to give them grip?

  I have heard Duct Tape can fix (almost) anything! Well it fixed this problem! All you have to do is stick some duct tape around the wheels.

  ...glued on the wheels does a very good job too.

School Project by zoodamar, 1209083245 Report sent Spam Reply [+4]

I made one of these in grade 7!

• Me Too! by imshanedulong, 1209134538 Report sent Spam Reply [+2]

  Except I was in early grade 8 (which I'm still in) and ours wasnt in a kit and was more "hillbilly-ish".
• I made 1, but with a co2 canister. by Hack'd, 1209155415 Report sent Spam Reply [+1]

  the mousetrap had a needle, it was for punching a small hole in the cartridge.
  The car went very fast, and crashed into the curb, sending bits od basswood everywhere.
  
  Kip. Use basswood instead od balsa, its much stronger, and use a bigger mousetrap.
  
  Ps. You must live pretty down south, i saw clear skies and palm trees.

i had to make one of those, but mine had to launch a ping pong ball on to a target that was twenty feet away, it was a pretty fun project

Wheels by HydroSliders, 1209100036 Report sent Spam Reply [+2]

Those are so thin, they probably have SO little friction on the ground... excellent for this kind of project.

awesome! by sonicIntoX, 1209087339 Report sent Spam Reply [+2]

But I kept waiting till it was way down the road and exploded! 5*

Add-ons by jasleil, 1209081629 Report sent Spam Reply [+2]

try to get a Rc remote and try to get it to the back wheel and you will get yourself a mousetrap powered RC!

i was expecting by crof, 1209214628 Report sent Spam Reply [+1]

a car to drive over it when he zoomed in at the end lol , Hey kip where's your cats ? was lookin out for them. Cool video but i was expectin it to go faster than that, maybe a change in wheel surface or stronger strength of mousetrap would maked it go faster

hmmm... by Snowkid0391, 1209880095 Report sent Spam Reply

I kinda gotta agree with ELVIS52... no offense but your videos are kinda getting boring doing these little kiddie projects... i miss your old videos a lot. You can also see that your making less money then you would normally make, which would be in the thousands... =(
