Pinewood Derby

From Pinewood Derby cars to Pinewood Derby kits and everything in between, we are your one stop shop. If you buy a basic Pinewood Derby kit it will have everything your need to build a car except paint. The Pinewood Derby kit will include a block of wood that will become the body of your Pinewood Derby car as well as your wheels and a special nail that will function as an axel. We also have pre-cut Pinewood Derby kits with cars in various styles. If you lack the tools to shape your car, this is a great option.

We have many other Pinewood Derby supplies that are critical to making your car fast and fun. We have a wide variety of decals for your Pinewood Derby kit and paint in almost every color imaginable. One of the keys to a successful Pinewood Derby car is making sure you have the necessary weight in the car to allow gravity to improve performance. We have many options for this including Tungsten weights in many forms. We offer cylinder weight, bar weight, and even drillable center of gravity weight to give you the competitive advantage on the competition.
Another often missed example of a trick to improve your Pinewood Derby car is to use lubricant on the axels. One of the most popular lubricants is dry graphite. It reduces friction between the axels and the wheels and can provide you a little boost of speed for your Pinewood Derby car to speed past the competition. Placement of the graphite inside the wheel hub is critical to gain an edge on your competition.
