Specifically designed for Boy Scouts Pinewood Derby races, this body kit combines a fun, distinctive design with high performance. Perfect for racers who want to bring something different to the track, this Mini Van body kit is crafted with care by Derby Dust techs for the 2024-2025 racing season.

Key Features:

• 3D Printed Mini Van Design
  Modeled after the iconic Mini Van, this body kit adds a unique and playful element to your Pinewood Derby car. Each body is precision 3D printed, ensuring accurate details and a high-quality finish.
• Rail-Riding Compatibility
  Engineered for top performance, the Mini Van body kit includes skirt relief and is designed to work with rail-riding setups. With cambered wheels and a streamlined body, this kit ensures that your car avoids contact with the center rail, maximizing speed.
• Artistic Pinewood Derby Attachment
  This body kit is an artistic enhancement designed to attach to your official Pinewood Derby wood block. It cannot be used independently but transforms your standard pine block into a sleek and fun racing Mini Van.

Important Considerations:

• Race Legal?
  Always check your local race rules before applying this body kit, as its creative design may push the limits of Pinewood Derby guidelines. We recommend keeping the body kit unglued until after race inspections to ensure it passes all requirements.
• Unfinished Raw Print
  Each body kit is shipped in its raw, unpainted form, ready for your custom finishing touches. As with all 3D printed products, slight surface variations may occur, adding to the uniqueness of each kit.
• Surface Preparation
  Rough textures may appear on the underside of the body due to necessary supports during the 3D printing process. We recommend using wood putty or body filler to smooth out these areas. For a flawless finish, wet sanding the PLA plastic followed by priming and painting is suggested.

Painting & Finishing Recommendations:

• Apply 3 coats of primer, sanding between each coat for smoothness.
• Follow with 3 coats of color, then seal with an enamel finish for added durability and shine.
• The PLA material accepts 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 Mini Van body kit.
• For a perfect fit, contour the wood block to match the underside of the 3D printed body for optimal performance and appearance.

Technical Specifications:

• Wheelbase: Standard, designed for optimized performance on the track.
• Car Dimensions: 7″ in length and 2.5″ in width, complying with official Boy Scouts Pinewood Derby regulations.
• Body Weight: Just 2.5oz. You’ll need to add extra weights to bring the car up to the required racing weight.
