Welcome,
This is a starter basic design for mousetrap car. For those that don't know, the mousetrap car is a design and build challenge for many high school physics classes and hobbyist. The goal is to make a car that is powered only by a standard mousetrap.
The design is built in five parts. so that they can fit on a 256x256mm bed
All parts can be super glued together. Take care to make sure that keep the sides aligned to each other or the axles will bind.
The wheel wells are designed with 8mm skate bearings. I used these https://a.co/d/j3bZ5Xq
The axles were made with 8mm brass tubing. I used these https://a.co/d/2O0YH0z
Make sure you test your bearings on the brass tube to ensure they slide on. You may have to sand the brass down to ensure the bearings to slide on.
