How Do You Make A Fast Rubber Band Car?
Rubber band cars are an easy craft project. They can be made quickly, and are simple to use. Test out different rubber band widths and diameters to get different speeds and distances. Make several cars to race against each other to see which is faster. You can also experiment by racing the cars on different surfaces to see how each surface affects the running of the car. Cut the corrugated cardboard into a rectangle 5 by 6 inches. On one 5-inch side, cut a large notch measuring 2 inches wide by 1 1/2 inches deep.
