Introducing the B2B Pinewood Car Kit: Perfect for First-Time Builders
Building a pinewood derby car should be exciting—not overwhelming. But for first-timers, the sheer amount of information about designs, tools, and techniques can make the process daunting. Designed specifically for those who want to get back to basics, this kit simplifies the build process, ensuring a fun and rewarding experience without the frustration of complex tools or technical steps.
No Drills. No Frills. Just Sand, Paint, and Race!
Our B2B Pinewood Car Kits are crafted with simplicity in mind. Whether you’re a scout preparing for your very first race or a parent helping your child build a car, this kit provides everything you need to get started—minus the headaches. We’ve done the prep work for you, so all you need to do is follow three easy steps:
-
Sand the car body to your desired finish.
-
Install the included weights for perfect balance.
-
Attach the wheels and axles, and you’re ready to race!
What’s Included in the Kit?
We’ve selected proven, classic derby car profiles that have been field-tested for performance and ease of use. Choose from designs like the sleek wedge, the popular Physics shape, or a versatile race-car style that can be transformed into creative designs like a police car or even a cyber truck.
-
BSA Slot Only: This kit features pre-drilled slots designed to fit standard BSA (Boy Scouts of America) specifications. No changes to the slot configuration—just straightforward and race-ready.
-
Weight Included: Pre-measured weights are included, ensuring your car is optimized for speed right out of the box.
-
Pre-Drilled Axles: Choose your racing setup: 4 wheels touching, 3 wheels touching, or our recommended 3-wheel center rail riding configuration for optimal speed. For the center rail riding option, we’ve even pre-drilled with a 3-degree negative camber on the rear axles for enhanced performance. Just set it up and watch it fly!
FAQ:
Q: Is this kit as fast as a hand-tuned car?
A: No, it’s not as fast as a meticulously hand-tuned car, but it’s an excellent entry-level option. The fastest setup in our kit is the 3-wheel center rail rider, which uses pre-drilled, straight axles with positive camber for maximum speed and minimal drift.
Pinewood Finishing Supplies (optional)
The B2B Pinewood Car Kit doesn’t just stop at the basics—we’ve also included everything you need for those final touches:
-
Foil Tape to secure weights in place.
-
Gap Gauge to ensure perfect wheel spacing for smooth turns.
-
Graphite Lube for enhanced wheel performance.
-
Pipe Cleaners to burnish wheels and axles for reduced friction.
-
Tungsten Putty to fine-tune the car’s weight distribution.
Additional Items You’ll Need
While we’ve taken care of most of the hard work, there are a few extra items you’ll need to complete your build:
- Sandpaper for smoothing the car body.
- Primer and paint to give your car a personalized finish.
- A bit of creativity, patience, and—of course—a little love!
- Allow about 24 hours to assemble, paint, and fine-tune your car.
