Pinewood Derby Cars are popular for a number of reasons. The fact that it is a lot of fun to build them certainly would be among the prime reasons. Building them might have a number of wonderful rewards but the fun of construction pales in comparison to the enormous fun found in racing these cars. Yes, the look of these cars radiates an additional sense of enjoyment. These cars are just flat out cool! And if you were hard pressed for a common reason why many think these cars are cool it would be their unique designs.

There are quite a number of cool Pinewood Derby Car designs. Here is a look at a few of the top ones:

The Batman design is somewhat interesting. Is it loosely based on the car the Batman drove? Well, this car is black like the classic old time hero’s costume.

The Metal Head  has a look right out of the movies. The presence of the skull is pretty over the top. The body is precision cut with a CNC guided laser for perfect balance and symmetry. The included tungsten cubes and pre cut weight pockets allow you to adjust the center of gravity to less than 1″ for a lightning fast ride.  This is an extended wheelbase car for better stability and greater speeds.

The Woody Surf look is late 70′s/early 80′s inspired in design. It has a beach car headed to the ocean to catch some waves. The Surf Gypsy behind the wheel has loaded his surfboard on top and slammed his foot on the floor.  This is a gnarlatious Pinewood Derby car with stunning graphics in the form of some primo decals.   Super cool woody wagon with surfboard on top!

The Black Magic has the body of many sleek cars. Unlike a number of those cars the look of the Raven is cool as opposed to the dullish look of the other standard sleek cars. Would you really want a dull looking car or one that has the cool add-on such as those on the hood of this model which allows it to uniquely stand out from a crowd of Pinewood Derby Car model kits? You probably are leaning towards the cooler looking cars.

The Magnum does look like a car that is on a mission. You could say the look allows it to roar down the race track with a vengeance.

Consider it a car that combines styles from different time periods and it does so in such a way that it maintain an incredibly special look.

Pinewood Derby Cars truly are amazing to build. They are even more amazing to race as it can be a tremendous amount of fun to enter a winning derby car in a race. Of course, you have to start at the beginning which entails the actual building of the cars. However, in order to properly build the racing cars, you will need all the required supplies. There are not all that many supplies you will need and they are also relatively inexpensive. Consider that a good thing since this makes it quite easy to purchase all the supplies you need to build your car.

Axel treatment and polishing liquids are a must own if you want to ensure the derby car will perform well. These liquids will also help the cars maintain a proper and appropriate look.

Axels are quite important to the operation of the vehicles which is why you must have all the requisite tools to bring up to par. Axel preparation requires many steps which can includes filing the axles to eliminate crimp marks and burrs. You might also need to straighten the axels. Also, the axles may need to be filed, sanded, and polished. To do this you should purchase the appropriate axel finishing and polishing kit which can ensure the axels are properly and effectively designed.

If the axels are not in proper condition, your ability to win a race will be limited. Keep this in mind when purchasing the required supplies.

As you likely realize, the cars cannot run properly when the wheels are not in the appropriate condition. Wheel treatment supplies are also critically important to add to your collection of supplies. The reason for this is that if your wheels are not operating in the effective manner, it is not as if the derby car will actually be able to ride well. If you want your wheels’ molds matched, reamed, and polished in the most effective manner possible, you will need to purchase the appropriate wheel kits for your needs.

Items within the kit can be purchased separately and they will include Micro-Finish Wheel Bore Polish which is intended to be used after Micro-Gloss for an effectively slick wheel bore. This way, the friction the wheels experience will be limited. The Micro-Gloss Wheel Bore Polish will serve the purpose of reducing friction associated with the axel to wheel bore. Big Fluffy Pipe Cleaners are required to help polish the wheel bore. The Wheel Turning Mandrel is another must as it holds a wheel in place when using a drill to remove parts.

Never overlook the basics when you want to add supplies to your Pinewood Derby Car supply collection. Among the basic items you will need is glue. Gap filler, epoxy, and super glue designed specifically for these cars should all be added to your collection. This way, you will never be short on the glue you need to perform the tasks you must do.

Other supplies you should purchase include sanding paper, axel lock screw kits, and wood filler. You will be surprised that you might need these items even though it might not appear that way at first. Once again, it is wise to have all these items in place to make sure you are not lacking when the time comes to build or finish your derby cars.

Once you have effectively built these incredible Pinewood Derby Cars, you can then make your plans to race them. With the right supplies in place, you never need to worry that your derby car will falter when the time comes to race it.

Most people find that a Pinewood Derby event is one of the most fun things to do with the family throughout the year. It is a great opportunity for people of all ages to get to know one another and it also helps to improve self esteem of each Cub Scout that participates. There are actually quite a few benefits for Cub Scouts to participate in a Pinewood Derby event. In fact one of the biggest joys of someone’s life is to look back and to think about all of the accomplishments they achieved on their own, especially when they were young.

Revell Grand Prix Racer Pinewood Derby Kit

Participating in the Pinewood Derby offers just that kind of experience and memory. This is an event that involves all family members who happen to be interested in box car racing but it is also something that encourages each Cub Scout to do a lot of the leg work on their own. Being able to build something like a Pinewood Derby car from nothing but a block of wood is quite the accomplishment for boys of all ages.

They tend to love it so much that they want to participate year after year, improving upon their designs from the year before. If you ask any boy in the Cub Scouts they will tell you that the Pinewood Derby is the biggest time of the year when it comes to events and competitions. In fact many Cub Scouts prefer the Pinewood Derby over playing sports like baseball and football!

Some other benefits to participating in the Pinewood Derby include but are not limited to:

Problem Solving

Because the Cub Scout must design and build Pinewood Derby Cars from scratch, it provides plenty of opportunity to learn and practice important problem solving skills. These are skills that will be used throughout life in school and in the real world once they have graduated.

Good Sports

Cub Scouts generally become good sports because they are taught the importance of the event and the commerodery as opposed to the importance of winning. Everyone is encouraged to cheer each other on and to be happy for those who win, no matter who those winners might be.

Building Bonds

More than likely the Cub Scout will need some help throughout the process of creating their Pinewood Derby car. This is especially true when it comes time to cut and sand their cars into the designs that they prefer. Getting involved and helping a Cub Scout to complete their car is a great way to build a tight bond and to get to know each other better.

It’s easy to get started! All the Cub Scout needs is a design idea and a Pinewood Derby car kit to get the show on the road. The rest is all imagination, creativity, and a little skill that can be learned as the event progresses.

Essential Pinewood Derby Tools

What are the most important Pinewood Derby Tools? That is an often asked question in regards to the tools needed to build a fast Pinewood Derby car.  There are more than 20 tools available for derby cars.  Each of them has a purpose and can be quite useful.

The extent to which you plan to get involved in the derby car building aspect will govern how many and what specific tools you will need. For example; you must decide if you are going to use the factory axle slots or drill new axle holes. Also, are you going prepare your axles and wheels to their optimum level?

Body Shaping

Saw:  You will need a hand held coping saw or an electric band or scroll saw.  Coping saws are much less expensive.  Band saws and scroll saws are much easier and faster.  You might have a friend who will let you use his saws.  Your pack might even conduct a Pinewood Derby workshop where saws will be available.

Pro Body Jig:  If your rules will allow, you should drill a fresh set of axle holes.  This will make sure that all axles holes are square to the block and are perfectly parallel to each other for greater speeds.  The Derby Worx Pro Body Jig allows you to precision drill these holes with a drill.  This tool comes with complete instructions for use.

Drill:  You will need either a hand held drill, Dremel drill or drill press for use with the Pro Body Jig for drilling axle holes.  You will also need a #44 drill bit but the Pro Body Jig comes with a bit. You will also use the drill during axle and wheel preparation.

Axle Preparation

Pro Axle Press:  The Derby Worx Pro Axles Press is an excellent tool for straightening axles.  It’s very important that axles are perfectly straight unless you intentionally bend them for alignment purposes.  The Pro Axle Press tool comes with complete instructions for use.

Pro Rail Rider Tool: This tool is a requirement only if you plan on building a Rail Rider.  The Derby Worx Pro Rail Rider Tool must be used with the Pro Axle Press to place and exact 1.5 or 2.5 degree bend in the axles for canting and rail riding purposes.  Instructions are included.

File:  If your stock axles come with visible crimp marks on the axle shaft near the head you will need a small file to remove those.  You will also need the drill again to chuck the axles in.

Drill:  Same drill as before.

Pro Axle Guide:  The Derby Worx Pro Axle Guide is a multi tool to help you set the proper spacing between the mounted wheel and the car body.  It will also help to make sure that axles are mounted correctly in the original slots.  Instructions included.

Axle Puller:  You really need a tool to help you safely insert and remove axles.  You must be very careful not to damage or mar the axle head or it will create additional friction against the wheel.  A good tool like the Max-V Axle Pliers or the Pinewood Derby Axle Puller will make axle installation and removal much easier.

Wheel Preparation

Pro Wheel Mandrel:  The Derby Worx Pro Wheels Mandrel allows you to chuck the wheel to a drill press so it can spin.  You can then sand and/or polish the tread surface and the inside edge of the tread area.

Pro Wheel Shaver:  Using the Derby Worx Pro Wheel Shaver is one of the easiest, most efficient and cost effective ways to create perfectly round wheels from a molded standard wheel. Not all wheels are created equally, but with a Pro Wheel Shaver, they can be made Hi-Performance.

Pro Hub Polisher and Polish: The Derby Worx Pro Hub Polisher is designed to use the included Micro-Gloss Bore Polish that is secured in a tool base for polishing the inner hub. By providing equal pressure on the inner hub bore while being spun in a drill at a low speed, imperfections from molding are removed and break-in time of a new set of wheels is reduced.
