Make a bold statement at your next Pinewood Derby event with the Mad Max Interceptor 3D Printed Body Kit, specifically designed for Boy Scouts Pinewood Derby races. Combining unique aesthetics with high-performance engineering, this body kit is perfect for racers looking to stand out on the track while optimizing their car’s speed and aerodynamics. Crafted with precision by Derby Dust techs for the 2024-2025 racing season, this kit will turn heads and give your car a competitive edge.
Key Features:
- Mad Max Interceptor Design: Inspired by the iconic Mad Max vehicle, this body kit offers a rugged and aggressive look that commands attention. Precision 3D printing ensures accurate details and a smooth, high-quality finish that elevates your Pinewood Derby car to the next level.
- Rail-Riding Compatibility: This body kit is engineered for optimal performance with rail-riding setups. Featuring skirt relief and designed to work with cambered wheels, it helps your car avoid contact with the center rail, reducing friction and boosting speed.
- Artistic Pinewood Derby Attachment: The Mad Max Interceptor body kit is an artistic enhancement designed to attach directly to your official Pinewood Derby wood block. While it cannot be used independently, it transforms your standard pine block into a sleek, powerful racing machine.
Important Considerations:
- Race Legal? Before attaching the Mad Max Interceptor body kit, always check your local race rules. Some derby events may have specific guidelines regarding creative designs. We recommend keeping the body kit unglued until after race inspections to ensure compliance.
- Unfinished Raw Print: Each body kit is shipped in its raw, unpainted form, ready for your custom finishing touches. Since it’s a 3D printed product, minor surface variations are normal, adding to the uniqueness of every kit.
- Surface Preparation: Due to the nature of 3D printing, rough textures may appear on the underside of the body where supports were required. We recommend using wood putty or body filler to smooth these areas. For a perfect finish, wet sanding the PLA plastic, followed by priming and painting, will achieve a flawless look.
Painting & Finishing Recommendations:
- Apply 3 coats of primer, sanding between each coat to ensure smoothness.
- Follow with 3 coats of your chosen color, and seal with an enamel finish for durability and shine.
- The PLA material is compatible with both spray paint and acrylic paints, making it easy to achieve a high-quality, customized look.
Easy Assembly Instructions:
- Sand your wood block to a smooth finish and pre-drill the axle holes for accurate wheel alignment.
- Cut your wood block to ¼” in width for a snug fit with the Mad Max Interceptor body kit.
- Contour the wood block to match the underside of the 3D printed body for optimal performance and appearance.
