Key Features:

• Step Side Truck Design: Inspired by classic truck designs, the Step Side Truck body kit offers a rugged, bold appearance that commands attention on the track. This 3D printed kit is detailed with high precision, providing a smooth, high-quality finish that elevates your Pinewood Derby car to the next level.
• Rail-Riding Compatibility: Designed for optimal performance with rail-riding setups, this body kit includes skirt relief and is optimized for use with cambered wheels. It helps reduce friction by avoiding contact with the center rail, giving your car a significant speed advantage.
• Easy Attachment: The Step Side Truck body kit is designed to attach directly to your official Pinewood Derby wood block, transforming it into a sleek, powerful racing machine. It serves as an artistic enhancement for your car, though it cannot be used independently without the wood block.

Important Considerations:

• Race Legal? Always check your local Pinewood Derby race rules before attaching the Step Side Truck body kit. Certain derby events may have guidelines regarding creative designs. To avoid any issues, we recommend keeping the body kit unglued until after race inspections.
• Unfinished Raw Print: Each body kit is shipped in its raw, unpainted form, giving you the opportunity to customize it with your finishing touches. As a 3D printed product, minor surface variations are normal, making every kit unique.
• Surface Preparation: Due to the nature of 3D printing, rough textures may appear on the underside of the body where supports were required. To smooth these areas, we recommend using wood putty or body filler. Wet sanding the PLA plastic, followed by priming and painting, will give your car a flawless finish.

Painting & Finishing Recommendations:

• Apply 3 coats of primer, sanding between each coat for smoothness.
• Follow with 3 coats of your chosen color, then seal with an enamel finish for durability.
• Compatible with both spray paint and acrylic paints for easy customization.

Easy Assembly Instructions:

• Sand your wood block to a smooth finish and pre-drill axle holes for accurate wheel alignment.
• Cut the wood block to ¼” width for a snug fit with the Step Side Truck body kit.
• Contour the wood block to match the underside of the 3D printed body for optimal performance and appearance.

• Wheelbase: Standard, optimized for Pinewood Derby track performance.
