How do you reduce the friction of axles rotating in the chassis of a mousetrap car?
use aluminum axels and create large enough holes for the whelles to spin. Watch out for the rough edges in the hole.
How do you reduce friction for a balloon powered car?
Graphite powder is an awesome lubricant, use it in the axles tubes,(depending how the car is made), if it doesn't have axle tubes, adding them would greatly reduce frictions, basically glue in a straw that is slightly bigger than your axles then put the powdered graphite and its like a slick bearing now, just don't use anything wet, stick with dry lube..
What is an axle hook on a mousetrap car?
For an axle hook you can use eye hooks or you can use straws or i like to use bic pens

How can you reduce friction of the axles rotating the chassis?
put a penny in itbuy a boat also unnownyou can put something like duck tape or a balloon on the edge of the wheel to make it go faster
Why do you use ball bearings?
Because they're a good way to reduce friction and help wheels and axles to spin smoothly and effortlessly.
How wheels work on a car?
Wheels and axles help reduce friction and allow a heavy objects like a car to move around easily.
What is the difference between truck chassis 6x4 and 4x2?
6x4 has three axles, and two of them are live axles. 4x2 has two axles, and only one is a live axle.
What is something useful to reduce friction on wheels and axles?
Lubricants such as oil, grease, and graphite are commonly used. However, simply keeping a liquid coating (even water) may help reduce friction. In many applications, surfaces can be made with very smooth substances such as polished metal, ceramics, or teflon.
Is there a lot of friction on an accelerating car?
Absolutely, as there is air resistance, the stickiness of the car's wheels, and the friction of the axles turning the wheels.

What do you mean by 6x2 or 6x4 or 6x6 when it comes to chassis?
Half of the the first number is number of axles. Half of the second number shows number of drive axles. 6x2----3axles, 1 is drive axle 6x4----3axles, 2 are drive axles 6x6----3 axles, all 3 drive axles
How long is a Land Rover SUV?
Depends on the model, and what you're actually measuring, the wheelbase (distance between axles) or total chassis length, or total length including protrusions. EG, an 88" SWB series is 87" between the axles, and has a total chassis length of 134.6" but add on 4" for bumper at the front and 2-14" at the back for handles up to a tyre on the rear door.
Where do you find friction in a car?
There is a lot of friction associated with vehicles. A biggie is friction with air, to which the term drag is applied. There is friction in all the moving parts in the power train through the engine, the transmission and the differential. That friction also extends out the axles to the wheels, and it is particularly evident where the rubber meets the road. That covers most of it.
