Description

Physics Lecture.  Many, many races have been won with this design.  This design is the favorites of one of the Pinewood Derby “Gods”  Lots of information regarding this design if you look for it.  We have done the major steps for you!

This is for a Pinewood Derby Car Body ONLY which means NOT ready to Race! Most of the major parts are done. This lets you and your scout put the final touches on the car. You will still need to tune your car. You will still need to paint and assemble your car.

You will still need BSA wheels and axles to complete this Pinewood Derby Car. We sell complete kits with prepped wheels and axles.

Each car body:

Pinewood derby car with either BSA slots or Drilled Extended wheel base (your choice)

• If choosen Weighted car to 120-124 grams (very close to final weight of 5oz)
• Custom drilled weight holes / pocket depending on your needs

Why our cars are better!

How many cars come weight balanced? Our cars are perfected balanced for speed. Weight balanced ½-1” in front of rear axle for maximum potential energy. Does it matter where the center of gravity is? Absolutely! Our bodies are brought up to 124 grams of weight. With 3 light coats of paint and a regular set of wheels and axles this should be extremely close to 5oz. Additional add-ons may cause your car to be overweight.

Red car is theirs, bare wood is ours.

 Our bodies are low profile in front with larger profile in back. What does this do? It has to do with aerodynamics and decreasing drag. We don’t waste your time with big bulky cars!

Most of our bodies utilize a quick start front end. By having an upward tapered front end, this allows your car to release from the starting gate sooner than if you had a lower tapered front end. It sounds crazy, but your car could start down the track before the others!

You will still need BSA wheels and axles to complete this Pinewood Derby Car. We sell complete kits with prepped wheels and axles.
