Pinewood Derby Product Customer Reviews

Best Car We've Built Yet
By  Marc from North Ridgeville, OH
I have purchased plans from pinewoodpro.com for the past two years. These plans are very well written and easy to follow. Almost idiot-proof. My son finished in 5th out of a field of 36 with this car. That marks his highest finish in his career. I highly recommend this, and any other plan that is available at pinewoodpro.com

My son loved it!
Connor from Rhode Island
Great instructions...easy to follow & build!!        

The Humvee Rocked!!!!
Nick from Atlanta
My son really liked the end result of the Hummer. We used a dremel. I liked having the ability to download the plans immediately as well.

Cool Car Design
Cindy from Indianapolis
This is my scout's first year in scouting and he is really excited about the pinewood derby. He picked out the car he wanted to build and we downloaded the instructions. I was very pleased to see that the instructions are extremely user friendly and very easy to follow. Definitely a bonus for a first year scouting building his first derby car!

Great Design, Great Results!
Nan from Oklahoma
My 4 yr old son used this design for his car this year and won 1st in the Open Division. My 7 yr old did the Inferno design and won 1st in both his den and overall. We did have to add a lot of weight to them but were very satisfied with performance. Great Designs! Will be back next year!

 Pre-Cut car, the way to go.
By  Go for the Gold from Arizona
It's practically done for you, just sand it down add weight. The precut cars are really nice for the Dads that just don’t have the tools or skills to cut these cars out of the block of wood. This saves so much time, as long as your boy likes one of the body styles.

  Time Saver
By  chuck from Monroe, MI
We were in a hurry.  The axle slots were all square, so the car rolled straight.  We had no time to cut the car out. Just sprayed and ran it!

 Saved us a lot of time!
By  Scout Parent from CA
My son loved the sleek look, I loved the convenience. Will buy from this site again...

 Perfect Fit
By  Daddy Driver from WA
Didn't have to worry about wheels falling out or becoming loose during race.

 Great Design!
By  racing Joe from SC
Easy to put car together for last minute racers.

 The Wedge Wins
By  GeoffP from Montgomery County, MD
Does what it was designed to do for cheap money and I don't have to risk life or limb cutting my own wedge. (The last one shot out of the table saw even with a safety fence!)

Pro Driller tool a Must
By  dcbatz from south Chicago
This is a must if you are extending wheel base length, or making a 3 wheeler. Or if you are using a different piece of wood other than out of the bsa kit, just make sure your wood is square on the bottom.

 If you feel to buy something, buy this item first
By  AlexM from Atlanta, GA
This is the single item that provides the best return on investment and will get your car to go faster.  Well done, simple, includes drill bit

 PRO Driller is a Must Have
By  Ricky Bobby from Temecula
If you are building your first car, you have no idea. The axles just don't go into the slots very easily or straight. This tool makes it easy to install your axles with the push of a finger and the car will roll straight. All solved with this little piece of precious metal!

 PRO Driller Tool easy and effective
By  Cubmaster Jeff from Albuquerque, NM
I used the PRO Driller with my boys on their two cars. Each of the boys could straighten the axles with minimal help from me and the axles were the best looking I've ever seen. I have built 14 cars with my boys over the past 8 years and this is the best result ever--a 1st and 3rd in our 30-boy pack.

The PRO Driller Tool Works Great
By  garnet from texas
My son's car was straight as a razors edge. No wobbling there at all.

Very helpful Tool
By  kjellster from San Diego
With out the tool it is hard to see if your alignment has any problems. For the price it is great.
