Rubber Band Powered Car without Hot Glue

- Joshua Houser asked what he could use instead of Hot Glue to make my Rubber Band Powered Cars. This car is made using contact adhesive or 'general purpose adhesive' as it says on the label. The main reason I use hot glue is speed and there are virtually no unpleasant fumes to deal with. This video has no 'speeded up' bits to emphasise the time it takes to make using the contact adhesive.

Thank you so much! This helped me complete my project for school.
Thank you 😊
Personally, contact glue do not use too much.
I usually use it to leather or rubber.
Never follow the method shown me in the bottle. Just stick it with a generous amount and let it dry under a weight or better yet, pressing any press or vise.
Greetings!
Contact glue never seems to work for me and it smells and takes too long to dry, I prefer the hot glue gun, it suits the sort of projects I do, quick and easy. I took great care today to follow the instructions and I have to admit it did work but it still took much longer than normal.
GrandadIsAnOldMan I like you, Grandad ...
Yes, sort of, only the car has to start about half a meter away from the mass and has to clear the mass out of a square that's about a meter by a meter (long and wide). The car has to push various masses (100g to 500g) out of the square, but start outside of the square, about half a meter away. It's clearing the field of masses.
With a running start from outside the square it should do better than from a standing start, but I have just watched my video again and see this pushes the 500 gm mass over 3 metres from a standing start so clearing a 1 metre square should be easy. The main issue is getting power to the axle and enough grip at the back wheels and that is a combination of the width of the tyres and enough weight over the axle to help the wheels stay in contact with the ground.
Hey! Do you think there is anyway you could make a rubber band powered car that is about 20 inches long (has to be less than 25 inches long) and is able to push 500g masses out of the way (highest mass is 500 grams). It is for a project and I'm really stuck!
Thank you grandad!
thank you this helped a lot !
+Grandes Starbucks thank you
By the way, you can use anything to make it, there are no restrictions, but try and make it relatively simple (as in not too complicated in terms of the way that it's built and how long it takes, not the materials and the materials have free reign)
Hi Shar, is this the sort of thing you mean?
Rubber Band Powered Car #8 pushes 500g
For the original build you will have to go to the beginning of this playlist as I built this car to answer lots of questions so it is made to be easily modifiable.

You could make a day, a driven by a flywheel drive.
As some old toys, which worked well. 8-)
That sounds like another good idea, thanks.
GrandadIsAnOldMan Grandad:
If all share ideas, the results will always be better if we keep them to ourselves.
Do not you think?. 8-)
what if you have no bottle caps? what can you use instead or can you just not use them?
Hi Annaliese, you just need something that will fill the gap in the middle of the CD, and allow you to fit your axle. Surely you can think of something to use? Cardboard, plastic, wood, I have even seen somebody fill the centre with hot glue. I use bottle caps because there are always plenty available, they don't even need to be the same size. I usually use matching caps because they look neater but it is not necessary.
Thank you, I used your simple rubber band car but I used CDs for the wheels, I used scraps of cardboard that I made the same size as the pencil and hot-glued it onto the cd. Thanks for the help!
Annaliese Piper well done, that was good thinking.
Do you think you could do a video on how to do so? :)
Here you are. th-cam.com/video/MWXSTb0OdDU/w-d-xo.html
Can you build the car without the peg to tie the rubber band?
+thiliepan prakalathan yes. Do you mean the peg on the axle? If that is the one, you just wrap the band round the axle so it traps itself under the wraps and it will hold itself in place. If you mean the paperclip at the front of the car you could just cut a slot in the cardboard to hook the band in place.
Thank you
how many rubber bands used
As many as you like. I just use random cheap rubber bands. If you have a project that specifies a certain number of bands I expect they also specify what type of rubber band you can use. Looking at the pictures near the end of this video I can count seven. I have hundreds of rubber band powered car videos on my channel using all different numbers of bands. There are links in my video description. Here is one that looks the same but only uses one band Rubber Band Powered Car 1 x size 64 - full length video th-cam.com/video/pIO3FiHX4Oc/w-d-xo.html

Your ideas are brilliant and they have helped me a lot, but please could you work on making more clear videos. Often I cannot see what you are doing.
Thank you, I have now updated the information in the video description as this video is 5 years old and I now have around 7k videos on my channels with one channel focused on rubber band power
Could u put to zip ties instead of the paper clip ? (ASAP)
If you mean the paperclip I used at the front of the car to anchor the rubber band then YES I am sure you could. Maybe the easiest option is to push a hole through the cardboard at that point, push the band through the hole and use a piece of bbq skewer through the loop to stop it slipping back through the hole. Another method I use is to cut a slot there instead. I show you that in this video th-cam.com/video/4N7CK5t-hP0/w-d-xo.html
Can u make a rubber band car with small toy car
Hi Madhav, I know this is not exactly what you mean but it is the general principle. I think I might have a fairly small car that I can convert in my grandchildren's toy box. I will have a look. Charity Shop Gold or Garbage #24 cheap tractor to rubber band power
How big does my cardboard needs to be?
The width needs to be right to allow you to fit your wheels on the axles without rubbing the chassis, so the width depends on how long your axles are. The length can be as long as you want. The longer it is, the longer the length of rubber bands you can use and the farther it will go. Make the dimensions fit whatever you have available to make the car. That's what I do.
I would guess my cardboard is about 12 inches long and 6 inches wide.
hey can you make a video about how to make rubber band powered car with only materials found in a regular home thanks alot .
I thought that was what this video showed? What materials did you have in mind?
i love your car $$$$$$& money
Two zip ties
I do not have the stick and straws am dieing
You could make the straw tubes by wrapping paper round a pencil and gluing it or taping it. The barbecue skewers or bamboo canes are available in Poundland and many other stores, especially this time of year when people are having barbecues. While you are there you could buy some straws. You can get similar bamboo canes in garden centres. Or you could use pencils or bicycle spokes. You make have to use your initiative and think for yourself.
