You know I have seen those before and I don't know why I could not remember them thank you

Hello question I am polishing some axles. I usually do it in my cordless drill, but I have read where people are putting then in their Dremel tool, but mine does not clamp down far enough to tighten up on the axles. I have a Dremel 4000 is there a different insert that will hold the axles or am...

Good looking ride loudonracer. Let us know how it dose.

I do understand what you all are saying, and thank you for clarifying, but I think the rules need to reflect that it is talking about the dimension of the axle where the wheel rides. so there is no confusion. Just my two cents as a new Derby racer.

Ok, I am an aircraft mechanic when something says minimum diameter is .084, to me then means the smallest part of can be no smaller then .084. What is the diameter of the grooves on the 92 or 93 tx?

I'm looking for some axles for the basx class. The rules say minimum diameter is .084 but all the axles I can find that give a diameter for the groove are less then that. And the rest don't give a diameter at all. So what grooved axles can be used or do I need to get non-grooved ones for basx?

Thank you Crash and QTD. All good info. I hopefully to have my drill/alignment fixed with the addition of a silver bullet pro to my tool box. I did not know the NDW spacing would effect the car. Thank you both again for the help. Existed to see the difference these changes will make.

Ok do I put my Tungsten cube on the pine undercarriage in the weight pocket like a normal pinewood derby car or do I put then in the body of the car/model. I can get the weight further back if I put it on the body of the car and that would moves my center of mass back. It would give it more...

Good luck and let us know how you did.

Was thinking about building a street rod Pro and was looking at some of the older cars have a enclosed back wheel is that allowed sample is the 1951 Hirohata Mercury. I know the rules say no wheel covers is that what they are talking about. I do think this vehicle is too long but I am just...

If it developed a wobble it could be any number of things but probably your alignment got bumped either in the stop section or by one of the handlers. Also I am very new so somebody else may have a better perspective

Has anyone done any experiments with other materials to make your fenders out of besides balsa wood. I think it would be cool to make some out of fiberglass or other composite materials. And yes I know you can buy ones out of plastic. Anybody willing to share ideas they have tried?
