The best large wheels for a mousetrap car are lightweight materials like corrugated plastic or foam board, which can be cut into circles. Some builders do repurpose unwanted LPs with added rubber edges for traction. For performance, aim for low rotational inertia and good grip, foam wheels or rubber-wrapped rims work well. For distance races, 11-inch corrugated plastic wheels are ideal.

What is the normal RPM for automatic transmission?

Automatic transmissions use different RPMs under different operating conditions (various engine states). The details are as follows: 1. During the initial break-in period of a new automatic transmission vehicle, it is recommended not to exceed 2200 RPM. In the mid break-in period, the RPM should not exceed 3000, and even in the later break-in period, it is advisable to keep it below 3000 RPM. 2. When shifting gears in an automatic transmission vehicle, shift to 2nd gear when the speed reaches 20 km/h and the RPM is between 1500-2000. Shift to 3rd gear when the RPM exceeds 2000, and similarly shift to 4th gear when the speed reaches 50 km/h. This is because shifting at 2000 RPM can easily cause carbon buildup, so the fuel-efficient and suitable RPM range is between 1500-2000 RPM.

Why doesn't the windshield wiper move in the first gear?

There are several main reasons why the windshield wiper doesn't move in the first gear: 1. Relay failure: The wiper relay has high and low gears. If the low gear is damaged while the high gear functions normally, the wiper will not move in slow mode but will work in fast mode. In this case, replacing the relay will solve the problem. 2. Fuse damage: Often, a blown fuse can prevent car components from working properly, which may affect the wiper's operation. Checking and replacing the damaged fuse will resolve the issue. 3. Motor damage: The wiper not moving in the first gear could also be due to a damaged wiper motor or rusted gears. If the motor is damaged, it needs to be replaced. If the gears are rusted, disassembling, cleaning, and adding lubricant can fix the problem.

Why does the steering wheel shake at high speed?

High-speed steering wheel shaking mainly occurs due to the following reasons: 1. Front wheel alignment angle deviation, excessive toe-in; low front tire pressure or tire imbalance caused by repairs or other reasons. 2. Issues with individual chassis components: (1) Abnormalities in the steering or transmission system: such as loose tie rods, ball joints, steering gear connecting parts, or steering column. (2) Transmission or drivetrain components: issues with the half-shafts, internal parts of the front and rear axles, imbalance or looseness in the drive shaft (balancing) or universal joint connections. 3.
