Derby Dust® Axles
Computer Numeric Controlled machines prepare our Pinewood Derby Fast Winning Speed Axle Wheel Combo Set axle line with minimal surface removal to ensure consistent diameters throughout the shaft.
With tapered axle heads to reduce surface friction. Wet sanded and then diamond polished. Derby Dust® reduces friction through precision polishing.
No cheating with polished waxes that could easily become brittle and break off! This is a real metal polish job. We use a few fancy machines and then good old hands on skilled AMERICAN labor.
We polish them on our very own CNC polishing machine that utilizes 9 different wheels with 5 levels of polishing pastes. Each axle is individually inspected by two separate personnel to ensure the HIGHEST QUALITY. Be confident we get it RIGHT the FIRST time.
Derby Dust® Wheels
Using aftermarket speed wheels will save tons of time and give you a very fast car. These are Official BSA wheels that have been trued and balanced.
Many extra options to choose from such as polished wheel bores, and coned inner hubs. Unneeded plastic has been removed from the inside of the wheels making them lighter and spin freely. The truer and lighter the wheels the faster they will be.
Pinewood Derby Fast Winning Speed Axle Wheel Combo Set Wheels are separated by mold numbers and hand sorted based on quality.
As of Feb 2018, we no longer are using molds 4,6,12,13,14,15 due to an issue with wobble. If we can figure out how to machine it out we will update you.
We then CNC wheels with flood coolant to ensure that we keep the temperature of the plastic low and to prevent buildup of material that will leave machining imperfections.
The key use of cutting with coolant is to ensure that we keep a true round wheel that will not warp because of the machining process.
After all, we are machining the wall of the wheel to just thousands of an inch on some wheel sets.
Lots of wheel and axle options to choose from. Use these links below to learn more:

Super Tuner™ Pinewood Derby Axle Upgrade
THIS OPTION DOES NOT MEAN BENT OR CAMBER AXLES – IT MEANS SLOTTED AXLE HEAD AS PICTURED
Tuning your car can be expensive on your pocket and on your axle polish job. Not a problem with our Super Tuner™ Pinewood Derby Axle Upgrade option. A simple cutout made on all 4 axle heads allows you make EZ fine tuning adjustment to each wheel without having to spend on $20 on a set of pliers that could damage your pinewood derby axle heads that you just got to a mirror polish. This is a must for those guys that plan on riding the rail or have to use BSA slots. Sure beats shimming with wax paper!
Pinewood Derby Axle Upgrade negative camber?
Fast cars are usually ran with negative camber wheels. The easiest way to achieve this is buy using bent axles. With a negative camber upgrade, the wheel is forced to ride against the outer wheel hub eliminating side to side wheel travel which will eat away your speed. The tooling for this costs $25 (press and rail riding tool) and is suggested to be done using a hammer. We have installed the same tooling in bench press to get precise, repeatable results with no maring. We are happy to provide your axle set to canter of choice if this is something your would like. Please also visit our YouTube channel to learn how to tune those bent axles!

Good Day,
I wanted to say thank you for the wheel and axle set that you prepared for me. My child won all his races last week and he is now scheduled to race in the District Race on April 14.
I am interested in purchasing your areo wing kit for the race. It appears that the rules allow us to do more with the car ie.. extended wheel base, lathed wheels etc.
If possible, I have sent the district rules for your review. Please let me know what I can do and what you recommend so that I can order the correct items.
Thanks Again,
Joe

Troy, Martha,
Thanks again for all the help. We finished 1st in my son’s den and 2nd overall. We came down to the finals with 2 wins against an older kids car with 2 wins (needed 3 wins to win the championship) and we lost the decisive last race by .002 seconds. All five of the championship races were decided by less than .004 seconds. The main thing was my son won his den, learned alot, and we had a good time. We’ll get’em all next year.
We built our own test track and raced three cars on it to determine which to take to the race. The one with asset wheel set was the one we raced. The wheel pliers and other gear was also a big help.
Now, off to regionals…
Thanks again,

I had some initial concerns last week that the axles might get bumped during our tech inspection. The North Mississippi District of the BSA has some of the toughest pwd rules in the state. After researching your web page and the info you had there it pretty much reassured me; the reply from Troy also eased my worries.
BTW: I am going to tell you I am COMPLETELY ESTATIC with the axles and results. And no, they did not get bumped during tech. This was my sons first derby and he did AWESOME! Out of 45 cars he finished 4th fastest overall. With his 4th place finish he will be going to the big district race as an alternate (first three finishers are locked in). The wheels were completely stock (besides some of your derby dust) and the body he chose was pretty standard and not one of the “typical” aerodynamic wedges that took the top three spots. So thanks for providing a superior product and taking the time to respond to my questions. I will continue to use your axles and will be purchasing for years to come with two future Scouts also. So needless to say we cannot wait for the upcoming regionals and next year’s race. Keep up the awesome work and ONCE AGAIN A HUGE THANKS GOES OUT TO YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!
