FAQs

What is the fastest shape for a Pinewood Derby car? ›

To go fast, it's all about aerodynamics, and the best shape is a simple wedge. Just like a spoiler on the rear of a sports car, the wedge shape allows as much air to flow over the top of the car without hinderance while keeping the car pinned to the track.

How to tell the front of a Pinewood Derby car? ›

Which end is the front of a pinewood derby car? Either end can be the front of the car but the end of the block farthest from an axle slot gives you an advantage if it is the front of the car. The reason for this is that you can put weight farther back on the car if the rear slot is close to the end of the block.

What is outlaw Pinewood Derby? ›

An Outlaw Derby is a Pinewood Derby with rules that are either identical or more lenient than the standard scout rules. It is generally done so that other family members besides the Cub Scout can build a car and enjoy the Pinewood Derby experience.

Should I bake my Pinewood Derby car? ›

1. Bake the Block: Start your Pinewood Derby car project by baking the wood block at 250 degrees for two hours. This removes moisture and lightens the block, allowing you to place more weight at the rear of the car where you actually want it.

Is a lighter Pinewood Derby car faster? ›

Assuming all other factors are equal, a heavier car will be faster than a lighter car. The Pinewood Derby rules limit the weight of each car to 5 ounces.

Do fenders make Pinewood Derby cars faster? ›

Fenders can help efficiently direct the air around the wheels resulting in more speed. There are a few different types of fenders: Leading Edge Fenders: These fenders are placed in front of the wheels and help direct air over them, leading to a faster car.

Should I sand the wheels on a Pinewood Derby car? ›

Don't forget your safety goggles! Starting with about 300 grit sandpaper sand the wheels. Work up to as fine of grit as you can find. Only sand enough to remove imperfections and make the wheel round as possible.

Should I glue Pinewood Derby axles? ›

Slide the axles and wheels onto the car and glue into place. Use an epoxy or nonresin glue, and make sure you don't get any on the surface of the axle where the wheel rides.

Should you bend Pinewood Derby axles? ›

We recommend installing axles with a 1.5° bend for the front of the car and 2.5° bend for the rear. The axles heads are marked in the direction of the bend.

Can you run a Pinewood Derby car backwards? ›

Cars will be allowed to run backwards if the front extends past the starting pin, otherwise it will be disqualified. The front-most part of the car must rest against the starting pin.

What does graphite do for Pinewood Derby cars? ›

A special blend of micron size graphite particles are formulated to reduce the coefficient of friction and give your car the winning edge.

What type of paint is best for Pinewood Derby car? ›

We tested over 100 different paints and selected the ones that gave the best results on Pinewood Derby cars. These high gloss acrylic paints work best if no primer or wood sealer is used - Just sand and paint. All of our paints are water based. They are non-toxic and water wash-up.

Is it legal to sand Pinewood Derby wheels? ›

Wheels may be sanded/lathed/filed to smooth out molding imperfections in the tread area. The contact surface of the wheel must be flat as it sits on the track. Beveling, tapering, significant rounding, pointing, shaving, concave, wafering, etc. of the wheel contact area is prohibited.

Should you prime a Pinewood Derby car? ›

Try to make the wood as smooth as possible for best results. Do not pre-coat with primer or wood sealer.

What is the most important thing to make Pinewood Derby car faster? ›

Lubricate the Wheels with Graphite

To reduce friction and ensure an ultra-fast car, lubricate the metal axles. However, ensure you follow the rules so your Scout isn't disqualified! Although regulations may vary by Troop, rule 6 of the BSA's Pinewood Derby Car Building Rules states, "No lubricating oil may be used.

What is the best shape to cut a Pinewood Derby car? ›

The Wedge is the foundation of many cool car designs, and it is designed to be aerodynamic and is a one-cut wonder.

Does the shape of a Pinewood Derby car matter? ›

The often repeated mantra among league racers regarding the car body is “Thin to Win!” In other words, a thin body is the fastest. As a Pinewood Derby® car speeds down the track, it has to move the air it encounters out of the way. This pushing of the air creates drag and slows the car.

What is the most aerodynamic derby car shape? ›

Remember, a rectangular car is not an aerodynamic design. The most basic aerodynamic design is a simple wedge.

What factors might affect the speed of a Pinewood Derby car? ›

The following parameters made pinewood derby cars faster: using graphite on the axles and wheels, using lightweight wheels and polished axles, lifting the left front wheel and bending rear axles also raised speed.
