These pre-cut Pinewood derby designs make building your car as easy as ABC!

Example of pinewood car derby

Tip #2

Pinewood Derby cars are faster if only three wheels touch the track. There is less friction with 3 wheels rolling than 4. Raise a front wheel by 1/16 inch. Use the slowest wheel/axle combination as the raised wheel. How to Raise a front wheel.

Tip #7

Air drag is a very minor factor in your Pinewood Derby car's speed. Friction from the wheels and axles easily overwhelm the small amount of air drag. Select a design that you like rather than one with low drag.

Tip #43

Before you install the wheels on your car, grind the end of a new pencil eraser in some graphite then rub the graphite on your car in a 1/2 inch diameter area where the axles will go into the car. This will reduce friction when the wheel rubs against the car body.

Pre-Cut Pinewood Derby Designs

These pre-cut designs give you a head start in building your Pinewood Derby car. The hard cuts have been made. All you need to do is sand and paint the car. You can modify the basic design of the car with a wood rasp.
All of our pre-cut Pinewood Derby designs are also available with the weights pre-installed. The cars will weigh between 4.8 and 5 oz when finished depending on the paint and accessories added. We recommend that you use our Stick-On Weights to fine tune your car's weight to 5 oz.

I am David H. First place Tiger cubs second place overall .
My son (Tiger cub) just had his first pinewood derby yesterday. We placed 3rd. with your pre-weighted Hydro car. We added a little weight to get to 5 OZ. limit and the rest is history....
Thanks for making his first experience a memorable one....Janet R
Thanks for offering the great, "pre-cut" selections - this allowed my son and me of knowing, first and foremost, that our build would comply with the restrictions and governing rules of our Pack.  Our selected car also allowed us more time to concentrate on refining the overall car, and from avoiding the mistakes, mishaps and minor injuries we incurred last year when attempting to refine these components ourselves without access to safe and appropriate tools - which few can afford or use...Joe and Liam P
We love the cars, I don't know why we didn't order cars in the past this way. Plus with the quick service we will definitely be ordering again!... Dena G.
Hi. Just wanted to let you know my son got a 3rd Place trophy in his pinewood derby race and he was thrilled!! Out of 24 cars racing he got to the finals and did really well. The weight of the car was spot on, we didn't need to add weight. Thank you for saving me time and providing a winning car! ... Christina S.
Hello, we recived the cars and my son and daughter were both very pleased, they loved them, my daughter even won most patriotic in the tag along devision, and it was her birthday. She won two of her 3 heat races. My son didn't win any but it was very close, his car weighed in at 4.9 oz after we added the weights and stuff. The cars were very popular, they loved them, thank you so much for trying so hard to make sure we recived them in time, I recived them on Friday evening so we had time to paint and stuff after we got them. Thank you for your time.... Tony B.
We bought your Starfighter. My son won overall...1st place of the entire pack....wow we will definitely use your products next year!.... Stephanie D.
Just wanted you to know that the car won first place! My son is going to be in the paper for his victory. Thanks for the sale and good advice!.... Chris C.
