A twist on the classic wedge — but made to dominate the track.
This Low Rider pinewood derby car body is precision machined and carefully weight-balanced (120–124 g), providing you with a head start in performance and handling.
What’s included / features:
-
Car body only (not a race-ready kit) — you’ll still need wheels, axles, paint, and final tuning.
-
Weight is loaded near the design’s optimal center of gravity — about ½–1″ in front of rear axle for maximum potential energy.
-
Option for BSA slot or drilled extended wheelbase.
-
Includes 3.5 oz lead canopy weight.
-
Pre-balanced, precision cut and smoothed — save yourself hours of prep.
What you’ll still need:
-
BSA-style wheels and axles
-
Paint, decals, and finishing touches
-
Tools: sandpaper, wood filler, hammer (for axle installation)
-
Graphite, tuning pliers, gap gauge, etc. (optional but helpful)
Why choose our body?
We take care of the heavy lifting — literally — so you don’t. With weight loading & balance done ahead of time, you’re free to focus on tuning, painting, and making it your own. Our design is built around speed, not just looks.
Assembly & tuning time estimate:
~1 hour for mechanical setup + ~1 day for paint and finish
Note: This is a body only product. For full kits (wheels, axles included) please check our complete car kits.
Caution: Final weight may be close to the 5 oz (142 g) limit — additional add-ons may push it over.
