Pinewood Derby Car 5 Slot Slim Wedge Ultra Lite Body – The Ultimate Upgrade for Speed and Performance

Elevate your Pinewood Derby experience with the 5 Slot Slim Wedge Ultra Lite Body. Engineered for competitive racers, this ultra-lightweight design offers a superior alternative to traditional wedge blocks, combining precision engineering with proven aerodynamic principles.

Why settle for ordinary when you can achieve extraordinary results? This slim wedge body is expertly crafted from an official BSA block to ensure compliance with national rules. At just 15 grams, it’s a featherlight foundation optimized for maximum speed. By incorporating tungsten cubes or our lead 3-weight ballast system, you can easily fine-tune your car to the perfect weight of 125 grams while maintaining an ideal center of gravity (COG).

Built for Performance

Our ultra-light bodies are meticulously designed to minimize wood weight without compromising the structural integrity needed for racing. The sleek, low-profile shape reduces drag while enhancing stability, giving you a competitive edge. The 5 Slot Slim Wedge adheres to the seven principles of building a fast Pinewood Derby car, covering low weight, aerodynamics, and adjustable COG.

Ease of Assembly

We’ve done the heavy lifting for you! Each body comes pre-slotted or pre-drilled for easy axle alignment, and we include a #44 drill bit to ensure proper axle installation—no guesswork required. However, due to the reduced wood structure, we advise careful handling—no hammering!

Customizable Options

• Wheelbase: Choose from BSA slots, drilled BSA distance, or extended wheelbase for added stability.
• Wheels & Axles: Configure your car as a 3-wheel or 4-wheel rider.
• Weighting: Select an unweighted body or let us pre-load it with tungsten or lead weights.
• Finishing Kit: Complete your build with optional foil tape, tungsten putty, and other finishing essentials.

Know Your Rules

While this body is BSA-compliant, local event regulations may vary. Before purchasing, check your race’s specific rules. If you’re unsure, our team is here to help clarify and guide you toward the perfect build.

With the Pinewood Derby Car 5 Slot Slim Wedge Ultra Lite Body, you’re not just building a car—you’re building a winner. Lightweight, customizable, and race-ready, this wedge is the ideal platform to dominate the competition and secure your spot in the winner’s circle.
