Awana® Pinewood Derby Car Speed Wheel Axle Set
*2023-2024 AWANA has changed their wheel manufacturing process. Wheels are made from a different type of material, wheels are made with a different type of mold, Wheels are have no mold numbers. Wheels are not manufactured with same tolerances as before.
They are in my opinion a cheaper made wheel with costs increased by 25%. In order to make up for waste, I will have to charge an extreme amount now for a set of wheels as only 1-2 wheels are good in each set purchased causing my costs almost $15 a set to procure as 75% of the wheels are not up to my par for machining.
While utilizing proprietary straightening,
CNC machining, and polishing techniques, we produce consistent quality Awana® Pinewood Derby Car Speed Wheel Axle Set time after time. In conclusion, our feedback speaks for itself. After many machining hours, we perfected our technique.
Our Set includes:
- 4x Awana® Race Ready axles
- Straightened
- Wet Sanded and Polished
- Axle Head Tapered
- 4x Awana® wheels
- Weight reduced by 40%
- All lettering intact and untouched
Regardless of the axle type, the most important step is to have an extremely high polished axle shaft that is prepped with
premium pinewood derby graphite lubrication. Also, there are many other factors that make for a fast Pinewood Derby car. The best pinewood derby axles in the world won’t help if those other factors are not addressed. Our prepped have been
deburred, shaped, straightened and sanded down to a 2000 grit finish.
In addition, each axle goes through a buffing process up to 100,000 grit. We use separate buffing wheels to ensure no cross contamination. Then if you choose, we can seal the prepped axle with a
Krytox sealing agent. This is NOT putting a drop K
rytox oil on it. This is binding
Krytox to the surface of the metal.
Derby Dust® also offers prepared aftermarket
Awana® Speed Wheels. We offer wheels machined by us in house using our CNC lathes. In addition we offer the Derby Worx® line of aftermarket wheels. Both are excellent choices when looking at wheel upgrades. These wheels are a bit difficult to machine. Most do no not even try and modify them. We are one of a few vendors that offer Awana® Pinewood Derby Car Speed Wheel Axle Set.
Especially relevant is to make sure that you understand what axle and wheel modifications are permitted by your pack rules.
