PRO Axle Guide
 |
|
The Pro Axle Guide will improve the speed of your pinewood derby car by ensuring accurate mounting of axles: |
-
Axle Insertion - Ensures accurate mounting of axles (in axle slots) to improve alignment. Accurate alignment is critical for top speed!
-
Wheel-to-body Spacing - Establishes the correct gap between the wheel hub and car body. The proper gap minimizes car wander and reduces excess contact between the car body and the wheel hubs.
-
Reduced Risk of Block Damage - During the insertion process the Pro-Axle Guide provides support to the wood around the axle slot, minimizing the risk of damage.

Accurately mount your axles to perfect your car!

PRO Axle Press
|
|
Unfortunately, the nails used for axles with many car kits were designed for fastening, not for use as axles. Although they look straight, most nail axles have a slight bend, are slightly out of round, and the nail head is not square to the axle shaft.
|
|
The Pro-Axle Press will create absoloutely straight axles and absolutely round axles. It can also be used to square the axle head to the axle shaft.
|
|
Build the perfect axles with the PRO Axle Press Tool.

After following the tips in your book, my son and I finished 1st in our pack race! Not only did my son win the Pack championship, my daugther's car won 2nd place in the Family division. Needless to say we were all very happy! Thank you from the entire family!!
My son--a first time Pinewood Derby participant--won his Den, Pack, and District championships thanks to Pinewood Pro! Also won design and workmanship awards. Thanks, Pinewood Pro!
we downloaded Winning Pinewood Derby Secrets a couple of weeks ago and began reading and working. And, today, we won first place overall in our Pack!!! Alex is a Webelos 2 this year, so it was our last chance and we won it all. Thanks!!!
