Pinewood Derby Tip of the Day

Wheel vibration will slow your pinewood derby car down. Make sure that the outside of your wheel (the part that touches the track) is as smooth as possible and that your wheel is as round as possible.

Come back tomorrow for another Pinewood Derby Tip.

 

Yesterday's Pinewood Derby Tip of the Day

Improper wheel alignment is one of the most common reasons that your pinewood derby car is running slow. If your car drifts to the side, the wheels will rub against the center guide rail and slow your car. To minimize this, make sure that your axles are aligned so that your car will run as straight as possible.

Come back tomorrow for another Pinewood Derby Tip.

Option to raise one wheel - doesn't touch the track

If one wheel doesn't touch the track, it reduces friction...it works!

Axles holes are drilled higher on the pine wood block body

The car is closer to the track reducing air drag by minimizing the amount of air between the car and track.

Four sets of axle holes

Four sets of axle holes. Choose the car you want - One raised wheel or no raised wheels in extended or standard wheelbase!

Or cut the block in half and make two pine wood derby cars!
